General task settings

To configure the general task settings:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the application for a single protected device, select the Devices tab and open the Application settings window.

     If an active Kaspersky Security Center policy is applied to a device and blocks changes to application settings, then these settings cannot be edited in the Application settings window.

4. In the Network activity control section, click the Settings button in the Anti-Cryptor subsection.

   The Anti-Cryptor window opens.

5. In the Work mode section on the General tab, select Active mode.
   

   If this mode is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server blocks compromised devices' access to shared folders when a malicious encryption attempt is detected.

6. Clear or select the Use heuristic analyzer check box.
   

   This check box enables / disables Heuristic Analyzer during object scanning.

   If the check box is selected, Heuristic Analyzer is enabled.

   If the check box is cleared, Heuristic Analyzer is disabled.

   The check box is selected by default.

7. If necessary, adjust the level of analysis using the slider.
   

   The heuristic analysis level sets the balance between the thoroughness of searches for threats, the load on the operating system's resources and the time required for scanning.

   The following scanning sensitivity levels are available:

   • Light. Heuristic Analyzer performs fewer instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is somewhat lower. Scanning is faster and less resource-intensive.
   • Medium. Heuristic Analyzer performs the number of executable file instructions recommended by Kaspersky experts.

   This level is selected by default.

   • Deep. Heuristic Analyzer performs more instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is higher. Scanning uses more system resources, takes more time, and can produce a higher number of false alarms.

   The setting is available if the Use heuristic analyzer check box is selected.

8. Click OK to apply the new configuration.
