Expand all | Collapse all

To configure scalability, interface, and scan settings:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the settings of a task or application for an individual protected device, select the Devices tab and go to local task settings or application settings.
4. In the Application settings section, in the Scalability, interface and scan settings subsection, click the Settings button.
5. In the Advanced application settings window on the General tab, configure the following settings:
   • In the Scalability settings section, configure the settings that define the number of processes used by Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows:
     • Automatically detect scalability settings
       

       Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows automatically controls the number of processes used.

       This is the default value.

     • Set the number of working processes manually
       

       Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows controls the number of active working processes according to the values specified.

       • Number of processes for real-time protection
         

         Maximum number of processes that are used by the Real-Time Computer Protection task components. The entry field is available if the Set the number of working processes manually option is selected.

       • Number of processes for background on-demand scan tasks
         

         Maximum number of processes used by the On-Demand Scan component when running On-Demand Scan tasks in background mode. The entry field is available if the Set the number of working processes manually option is selected.

   • In the Interaction with user section, configure whether the System Tray Icon will be displayed in the notification area by clearing or selecting the Display System Tray Icon in the taskbar check box.
6. On the Scan settings tab, configure the following settings:
   • Restore file attributes after scanning
     

     When Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows performs On-Demand Scan and Real-Time File Protection tasks, the time when each scanned file was last accessed is updated. After the scan, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows resets the time when the file was last accessed to the initial value.

     This behavior can affect the work of backup systems by causing creation of backup copies for files that haven’t been changed. This can also cause false detections in file change tracking applications.

     By default, this function is enabled.

   • Limit CPU usage for scanning threads
     

     Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows limits its use of the protected device CPU during on-demand scan tasks to the value specified in the Upper limit (per cent) field.

     Enabling of this option can negatively affect the performance of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows.

     By default, this option is disabled.

     • Upper limit (per cent)
       

       Maximum allowable value of CPU utilization by Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows.

       The entry field is available if the Limit CPU usage for scanning threads option is selected.

   • Folder for temporary files created during scanning
     

     Folder into which Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows needs to unpack archive files during scanning.

     By default, the C:\Windows\Temp folder is used.

7. On the Hierarchical storage tab, select the option for accessing the hierarchical storage.
8. Click the OK button.

The configured application settings are saved.
