Configuring actions

To configure the actions on infected and other detected objects for the On-Demand Scan task:

1. Open the Scan scope settings window.
2. Select the Actions tab.
3. Select the action to be performed on infected and other detected objects:
   • Notify only.
     

     When this mode is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not block access to nor perform any actions on infected or other detected objects. The following event is recorded in the task log: Object not disinfected. Reason: no action was taken to neutralize detected object due to user-defined settings. The event specifies all available information about the detected object.

     Notify only mode should be separately configured for each protection or scan area. This mode is not used by default in any of the security levels. If you select this mode, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server automatically changes the security level to Custom.

   • Disinfect.
   • Disinfect. Remove if disinfection fails.
   • Remove.
     

     Kaspersky Security for Windows Server deletes the object and places a copy of it in Backup.

   • Perform recommended action.
4. Select the action to be performed on probably infected objects:
   • Notify only.
   • Quarantine.
   • Remove.
   • Perform recommended action.
     

     Kaspersky Security for Windows Server performs an action recommended by Kaspersky experts.

5. Configure actions to be performed on objects depending on the type of object detected:
   1. Clear or select the Perform actions depending on the type of object detected check box.
      

      If the check box is selected, you can independently set primary and secondary actions for each type of detected object by clicking the Settings button next to the check box. However, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will not allow to open or execute an infected object regardless of your choice.

      If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server performs actions that are selected in the Action to perform on infected and other objects and Action to perform on probably infected objects sections for named object types respectively.

      The check box is cleared by default.

   2. Click the Settings button.
   3. In the window that opens, select a primary action and a secondary action (to be performed if the primary action fails) for each type of detected object.
   4. Click OK.
6. Select the action to perform on incurable compound objects: select or clear the Entirely remove compound file that cannot be modified by the application in case of embedded object detection check box.
   

   This check box enables or disables forced removal of the parent compound file when a malicious, probably infected or other detectable embedded child object is detected.

   If the check box is selected and the task is configured to remove infected and probably infected objects, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server forcibly removes the entire parent compound object when a malicious or other embedded object is detected. The parent file along with all of its contents are forcibly removed if the application cannot remove only the detected child object (for example, if the parent object cannot be modified).

   If this check box is cleared and the task is configured to remove infected and probably infected objects, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not perform the selected action if the parent object cannot be modified.

7. Click Save.

The new task configuration will be saved.
