The operation of Kaspersky Security in on-access scan mode depends on the values of the anti-virus settings of SharePoint.
Anti-virus settings of SharePoint
SharePoint setting | Value | Impact on the operation of Kaspersky Security |
Scan files being uploaded to SharePoint
| Check box selected | Kaspersky Security can scan files that are uploaded to SharePoint websites. The application performs on files actions that have been defined in the anti-virus protection settings. |
Check box cleared | Anti-virus protection of files uploaded to SharePoint websites is not available. | |
Scan files being downloaded from SharePoint
| Check box selected | Kaspersky Security can scan files downloaded from SharePoint websites. The application performs on files actions that have been defined in the anti-virus protection settings. |
Check box cleared | Anti-virus protection of files downloaded from SharePoint websites is not available. | |
Allow users to download infected files
| Check box selected | Kaspersky Security cannot block and disinfect files that users access. The application skips infected files. |
Check box cleared | The Attempt to disinfect infected files setting impacts the operation of Kaspersky Security. | |
Attempt to disinfect infected files
| Check box selected | Kaspersky Security can disinfect infected files when they are accessed by users. If the application cannot disinfect a file, it blocks the file. |
Check box cleared | Kaspersky Security can block infected files when they are accessed by users. |
The anti-virus protection settings of Kaspersky Security may conflict those of SharePoint. For example, if the Allow users to download infected files check box is selected in the anti-virus protection settings of SharePoint while the Block action is selected in the anti-virus protection settings of Kaspersky Security, the user will be able to download an infected file. Before downloading, the web browser window shows a warning message informing that Kaspersky Security recommends you to avoid downloading that file.
When a conflict arises between the anti-virus protection settings of Kaspersky Security and the anti-virus settings of SharePoint, the latter ones will have the higher priority.
