About the Removable Drives Scan
You can configure scanning of removable drives connected to the protected device via a USB port.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans a removable drive using the On-Demand Scan task. The application automatically creates a new On-Demand Scan task when the removable drive is connected and deletes the task after the scanning is complete. The created task is performed with the predefined security level defined for removable drive scanning. You cannot configure the settings of the temporary On-Demand Scan task.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans connected removable drives when they are registered as USB external devices in the operating system. The application does not scan a removable drive if the connection is blocked by the Device Control task. The application does not scan MTP-connected mobile devices.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server allows access to removable drives during scanning.
Scan results for each removable drive are available in the log for the On-Demand Scan task created when the removable drive is connected.
You can change the settings of the Removable Drives Scan component (see the table below).
