Changing the security level

To perform scan tasks, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses various combinations of settings. These combinations of settings saved in the application are called security levels. There are three preset security levels: High, Recommended, and Low. The Recommended security level settings are considered to be optimal. They are recommended by Kaspersky experts.

To change a security level:

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 Security level section, do one of the following:
   • If you want to apply one of the preset security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), select it with the slider.
   • If you want to configure a custom security level, click the Settings button and specify the settings in the appearing window with the name of the scan task.

     After you configure a custom security level, the name of the security level in the Security level section changes to Custom.

   • If you want to change the security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
4. To save changes, click the Save button.
