Integrity check
Kaspersky Endpoint Security checks the application files in the application installation folder for corruption or modifications. For example, if an application library has an incorrect digital signature, the library is considered corrupt. The Integrity check task is intended for scanning application files. Run the Integrity check task if Kaspersky Endpoint Security detected a malicious object but did not neutralize it.
You can create the Integrity Check task both in the Kaspersky Security Center 12 Web Console and in the Administration Console. It is not possible to create a task in the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console.
Application integrity breaches may occur in the following cases:
- A malicious object modified files of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. In this case, perform the procedure for restoring Kaspersky Endpoint Security using the tools of the operating system. After restoration, run a full scan of the computer and repeat the integrity check.
- The digital signature expired. In this case, update Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
