Enabling or disabling Advanced Disinfection technology
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security cannot halt the execution of a piece of malware, you can use the Advanced Disinfection technology. By default, Advanced Disinfection is disabled because this technology uses a significant amount of computing resources. Therefore, you can enable Advanced Disinfection only when working with active threats.
Advanced Disinfection works differently for workstations and servers. To use the technology on servers, you must enable immediate advanced disinfection in the properties of the Malware Scan task. This prerequisite is not necessary to use the technology on workstations.
