Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security starts protection and scan tasks immediately after installation if you have activated the application. If you select the Enable real-time protection after installation of application option during installation of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security, the application scans the device's file system objects when they are accessed. Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security will run the Critical Areas Scan task every Friday at 8:00 P.M.

We recommend that you take the following steps after installing Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security:

  • Start the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security Database Update task. After installation Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security will scan objects using the database included in its distribution kit. We recommend that you update the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security database immediately. To do so, you must run the Database Update task. The database will then be updated every hour according to the default schedule.

    For example, you can start the Database Update task by running the following command:

    KAVSHELL UPDATE /KL /PROXY:proxy.company.com:8080 /AUTHTYPE:1 /PROXYUSER:inetuser /PROXYPWD:123456

    In this case, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security database updates are downloaded from Kaspersky update servers. Connection to an update source is established via a proxy server (proxy server address: proxy.company.com, port: 8080) using built-in Windows NTLM authentication to access the server under an account (user name: inetuser; password: 123456).

  • Run a Critical Areas Scan of the device if no anti-virus software with real-time file protection was installed on the device before installation of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security.

To start the Critical Areas Scan task using the command line:

KAVSHELL SCANCRITICAL /W:scancritical.log

This command saves the task log in a file named scancritical.log contained in the current folder.

  • Configure administrator notifications about Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security events.
