Pausing and resuming computer protection and control

Pausing computer protection and control means disabling all protection and control components of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for some time.

The application status is displayed using the application icon in the taskbar notification area.

• The icon signifies that computer protection and control are paused.
• The icon signifies that computer protection and control are enabled.

Pausing or resuming computer protection and control does not affect scan or update tasks.

If any network connections are already established when you pause or resume computer protection and control, a notification about the termination of these network connections is displayed.

To pause computer protection and control:

1. Right-click to bring up the context menu of the application icon that is in the taskbar notification area.
2. In the context menu, select Pause protection (see the figure below).

   This context menu item is available if Password Protection is enabled.

3. Select one of the following options:
   • Pause for <time period> – computer protection and control will resume after the amount of time that is specified in the drop-down list below.
   • Pause until application restart – computer protection and control will resume after you restart the application or restart the operating system. Automatic startup of the application must be enabled to use this option.
   • Pause – computer protection and control will resume when you decide to re-enable them.
