Changing the action taken on infected files by the File Threat Protection component
By default, the File Threat Protection component automatically tries to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection fails, the File Threat Protection component deletes these files.
To change the action taken on infected files by the File Threat Protection component:
In the application settings window, select Essential Threat Protection → File Threat Protection.
In the Action on threat detection block, select the relevant option:
Disinfect, delete if disinfection fails. If this option is selected, the application automatically attempts to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection fails, the application deletes the files.
Disinfect, block if disinfection fails. If this option is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically attempts to disinfect all infected files that are detected. If disinfection is not possible, Kaspersky Endpoint Security adds the information about the infected files that are detected to the list of active threats.
Block. If this option is selected, the File Threat Protection component automatically blocks all infected files without attempting to disinfect them.
