To change the action to take on infected files:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Scheduled tasks section, select the subsection containing the name of the required scan task (Full Scan, Critical Areas Scan or Custom Scan).

    In the right part of the window, the settings of the selected scan task are displayed.

  3. In the Action on threat detection section, select the required option:
    • Select action automatically.
    • Perform action.
  4. If you selected the Perform action option during the previous step, select the following check boxes:
    • Select the Disinfect check box if you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to disinfect objects in which threats were detected.

      Even if this option is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security applies the Remove action to files that are part of the Windows Store application.

    • Select the Delete check box if you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to delete objects in which threats are detected.
    • Select both the Disinfect and Delete check boxes if you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to attempt to disinfect objects in which threats are detected and delete the objects that cannot be disinfected.
    • Clear both the Disinfect and Delete check boxes if you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to not take any action on objects in which threats are detected but instead just notify the user about the results of scanning these objects.
  5. To save changes, click the Save button.
