Scanning a computer with Kaspersky Security Cloud can use a substantial amount of system resources. To optimize the load on the system, you are able to run scan tasks (of the system memory, system partition, and startup objects) and database update tasks in Kaspersky Security Cloud while the computer is locked or the screensaver is on. Idle Scan helps maintain the security without affecting the computer performance.

If the computer is running on battery power, Kaspersky Security Cloud will not run tasks when the computer is idle in order to prolong battery life.

To set the tasks to run when the computer is idle:

  1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Cloud, click The Settings icon in the Kaspersky Security Cloud window.
