Critical Areas Scan task settings

Setting

Description

Scan

This group of settings contains buttons that open windows where you can configure the scan scopes, scan scope settings, and scan settings.

Task priority

In this group of settings you can select the scan task priority:

  • Low— the scan task is executed with a low priority: no more than 10% of processor resource consumption. Execution of the task takes more time, but the application allocates resources for other tasks.
  • Normal (default value) — the scan task is executed with a normal priority: no more than 50% of all processor resources.
  • High — the scan task is executed with a high priority, without limiting the consumption of processor resources. Specify this value to perform the current scan task faster.

Actions for infected objects

This group of settings contains the Configure button. Clicking this button opens the Actions for infected objects window, where you can configure the actions that Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs on detected infected objects.

In the Exclusions section, you can also configure exclusion scopes as well as exclusions by mask and by the threat name for the Critical areas scan task.
