About On-Demand Scan tasks

Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans the specified area for viruses and other computer security threats. Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans protected device files, RAM, and autorun objects.

Kaspersky Security for Windows Server provides the following On-Demand Scan tasks:

• The Scan at Operating System Startup task is performed every time Kaspersky Security for Windows Server starts. Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans boot sectors and master boot records of hard drives, removable drives, system memory, and process memory. Every time Kaspersky Security for Windows Server runs the task, it creates a copy of non-infected boot sectors. If it detects a threat in those sectors the next time the task starts, it replaces them with the backup copy.

  The Scan at Operating System Startup task might not be performed if a protected device wakes up after either sleep or hibernate mode. The task is performed only at protected device restart or start up after complete shut down.

Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans objects in critical areas of the operating system: autorun objects, boot sectors and master boot records of hard drives and removable drives, system memory and process memory.
