General task settings

To configure the general task settings:

1. In the Application Console tree, expand the Real-Time Computer Protection node.
2. Select the Anti-Cryptor child node.
3. Click the Anti-Cryptor link in the details pane of the Properties node.

   The Task settings window appears.

4. In the Work mode section on the General tab, select Active mode.
   

   If this mode is selected, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes blocks compromised devices' access to shared folders when a malicious encryption attempt is detected.

5. Clear or select the Use heuristic analyzer check box.
   

   This check box enables / disables Heuristic Analyzer during object scanning.

   If the check box is selected, Heuristic Analyzer is enabled.

   If the check box is cleared, Heuristic Analyzer is disabled.

   The check box is selected by default.

6. If necessary, adjust the level of analysis using the slider.
   

   The heuristic analysis level sets the balance between the thoroughness of searches for threats, the load on the operating system's resources and the time required for scanning.

   The following scanning sensitivity levels are available:

   • Light. Heuristic Analyzer performs fewer instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is somewhat lower. Scanning is faster and less resource-intensive.
   • Medium. Heuristic Analyzer performs the number of executable file instructions recommended by Kaspersky experts.

     This level is selected by default.

   • Deep. Heuristic Analyzer performs more instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is higher. Scanning uses more system resources, takes more time, and can produce a higher number of false alarms.

   The setting is available if the Use heuristic analyzer check box is selected.

7. Click the OK button to apply the new settings.
