Changing the security level

To perform scan tasks the application uses various combinations of settings. These groups of settings are called security levels. You can select one of the preset security levels or configure security level settings on your own. There are three security levels: High, Recommended, and Low. The Recommended security level is considered the optimal setting, and is recommended by Kaspersky.

To change a security level:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
3. In the workspace, select the Tasks tab.
4. In the list of tasks, select the virus scan task for Light Agent for Windows and open the Properties: <Task name> window by double-clicking.
5. In the window of Light Agent for Windows virus scan task properties, select the Settings section in the list on the left.

   The task settings will appear in the right part of the window.

6. In the Security level section, do one of the following:
   • If you want to install one of the pre-installed security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), use the slider to select one.
   • If you want to configure a custom security level, click the Settings button and, in the window that opens, specify the settings with the name of a scan task.

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

   • To change the security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
7. Click the Apply button.
