To manually configure the security settings of an ICAP network storage:

  1. Expand the Network Attached Storage Protection node in the Application Console tree.
  2. Select the ICAP Network Storage Protection child node.
  3. In the details pane of the ICAP Network Storage Protection node, click the Properties link.

    The Task settings window opens.

  4. On the General tab in the Security level section, click the Settings button.

    The Security settings window opens.

  5. Configure the settings in accordance with your computer security requirements. To do this, perform the following actions:
    • On the General tab take the following actions:
      • In the Objects protection section, specify objects to be scanned by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server:
        • All objects
        • Objects scanned by format
        • Objects scanned according to list of extensions specified in anti-virus database
        • Objects scanned by specified list of extensions

        This setting can be also configured in the network attached storage. If the setting is configured in Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, the network attached storage sends the inapplicable object for scanning, and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server declares the object safe without running a virus scan. If the setting is configured in the network attached storage, the network attached storage does not send the inapplicable object for scanning. To reduce network traffic and the load on the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed, it is recommended to configure settings that limit the number of objects scanned in the network attached storage.

      • In the Compound objects protection section, specify compound objects to be scanned by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.
    • On the Actions tab take the following actions:
      • In the Action to perform on infected and other objects section, select the action to be performed by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on detecting an infected object.
      • In the Action to perform on probably infected objects section, select the action to be performed by Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on detecting a probably infected object.
      • Configure actions to be performed on objects depending on the type of object detected.
    • On the Performance tab take the following actions:
      • In the Exclusions section, specify objects that you want Kaspersky Security for Windows Server to exclude from scanning:
        • To exclude files from scanning, select the Exclude files check box and specify the names or name masks of files to be excluded.
        • To exclude detectable objects (such as remote administration utilities), select the Do not detect check box and specify the names or name masks of detectable objects, according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification.
      • In the Advanced settings section, specify the maximum duration of object scanning and the maximum size of the compound file being scanned.
  6. Click OK in the Security settings window.

    The Security settings window closes.

  7. Click OK in the Task settings window.

The configured custom security level settings are saved.
