If user computers have a third-party application installed that collects and sends information for further processing, the Kaspersky security application may classify this third-party application as a malicious one. To avoid this, you can exclude that application from scanning.
To configure a malware scan run schedule on Windows devices or Mac devices:
The General settings of Kaspersky Next page is displayed.
The Malware scan settings window opens.
By default, the Windows button is selected.
This level provides the most comprehensive protection. Select the high level if there is a high risk of infection of Windows devices or Mac devices.
This level is viewed as optimal and so it is recommended for most users.
This option is selected by default.
This level provides minimum protection and maximum performance of managed devices.
This check box is cleared by default.
This setting is relevant only for Mac devices. The scan starts automatically after the application starts on the user's Mac device.
The scan starts automatically according to a schedule that you set up. If you selected this option, in the "By schedule" mode settings section, set up the schedule for the malware scan.
For Mac devices, this option is selected by default.
The user runs the scan manually on his or her Windows device or Mac device. In this case, users choose the frequency and time for starting the malware scan on their own.
For Windows devices, this option is selected by default.
Select this check box to run scheduled scan tasks that were missed on the device (when it was turned off or inaccessible). If this check box is selected, each missed scan will be performed after the device is turned back on.
For Windows devices, this check box is cleared by default; for Mac devices, it is selected by default.
Select this check box to run a malware scan on devices at random within a specified time interval, instead of running it according to a precise schedule. If the check box is selected, the distributed start interval is calculated automatically when the task is created, depending on the number of Windows devices or Mac devices to which the task is assigned.
For Windows devices, this check box is selected by default; for Mac devices, it is cleared by default.
You can change the distributed start interval by clearing the Automatically determine interval to randomize the task start time check box, and then selecting the Randomize the task start with interval (min) check box. The distributed task start allows you to avoid a large number of simultaneous requests by Windows devices or Mac devices to Kaspersky Next when a task is started. By default, the Randomize the task start with interval (min) check box is cleared.
This setting is relevant only for Windows devices. Select this check box to limit the time interval for a malware scan and free up resources of the Windows device for other tasks. If you have selected this check box, set the limit for the malware scan duration within an interval from 1 minute to 999 minutes. If the time limit is exceeded, the scan will be forced to cease.
This check box is cleared by default.
The malware scan on Windows devices and Mac devices is performed in accordance with the specified settings.
If necessary, you can also manually start and stop a malware scan on Windows devices and Mac devices.
