Your computer's protection state gives you a summary of your computer's overall security level. These threats include malicious programs, outdated databases, the disabling of File Anti-Virus, the use of minimum Kaspersky Endpoint Security protection settings, etc.

The Security Assistant lets you review all the current threats and begin to eliminate them.

ASSESSING THE COMPUTER'S PROTECTION STATUS

The computer's protection status is displayed in the main application window (see section "Main application window" on page 33) in the form of a traffic-light color scheme. Depending on the situation, the color scheme of the window will change. If any security threats are detected, the change of the color is supplemented by a text message.

The main application window's color, acting as a security indicator, can take the following values:

Green. Your computer's protection is at the appropriate level.

This means that the databases have been recently updated, File Anti-Virus is enabled, Kaspersky Endpoint Security is running with the settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab, and either no malicious objects have been discovered by a virus scan or all detected malicious objects have been disinfected.

Yellow. Your computer's protection level is reduced.

This protection status indicates certain problems with the performance or settings of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Such problems include, for example: slight deviations from the recommended operation settings, or the Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases have not been updated for several days.

Red. Your computer is at risk of infection.

This state indicates that there are problems which may lead to the infection of your computer and the loss of data. Such problems include, for example: a failure in File Anti-Virus's operation; the Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases have not been updated for a long time; malicious objects have been detected and urgently need to be disinfected, or the application has not been activated.

If there are problems in the protection system, you are advised to fix them immediately. To do this, click the color indicator in the main window to launch the Security Assistant (on page 43).

HOW TO EXPORT THE APPLICATION PREFERENCES TO KASPERSKY ENDPOINT SECURITY INSTALLED ON

ANOTHER COMPUTER

Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows to export and import its settings. This is useful if, for example, when the application is installed both on your home and office computers. You can configure the application in a convenient mode at home, save those settings in a special configuration file on a disk, and then import them quickly onto your office workstation. The settings are stored in a special configuration file.

To save the current Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings in a file, do the following:

1. Open application settings window (on page 34) and select the Service tab.

2. In the Configuration section, click the Save button. The Save window opens.

3. In the Save as field enter the file name and select the folder in which it will be saved.

To import settings from a Kaspersky Endpoint Security configuration file, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Service tab.

2. In the Configuration section, click the Load button and in the window that opens select the file containing the Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings.

WHAT TO DO IF FILE ACCESS IS BLOCKED

Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks access to a file or program if File Anti-Virus (on page 54) suspects the object of being infected or potentially infected by a malicious program, and the Block access option has been selected.

To process the dangerous objects listed on the Detected tab of the report window:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window opens.

2. In the left part of the report window, select Detected. The right part of the window displays a list of dangerous objects that have been detected with their status.

3. Press the Disinfect all button. After each object is processed, a notification will appear on screen to prompt for further action. If you check the Apply to all box in the notification window, the selected action will be applied to all objects with the same status.

To process potentially infected objects in Quarantine:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window opens.

2. In the left part of the report window, select Quarantine. The contents of Quarantine are displayed in the righthand part of the window.

3. Click the Scan all button to scan and cure all potentially infected objects in Quarantine using the current Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases.

The status of an object in Quarantine is changed only after it is scanned using anti-virus databases released no earlier than three days after the file was placed in Quarantine.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

4. Click the Restore button to restore the files to the folder specified by the user or the folder from which they were moved to Quarantine (by default).

We recommend that you only restore objects with the false positive, OK, and disinfected statuses since restoring other objects can lead to your computer becoming infected.

5. Click the Delete or Clear all button to delete the selected object from Quarantine or clear Quarantine completely.

If you are confident that the objects being blocked by File Anti-Virus are safe, include them in a trusted zone by creating an exclusion rule (see section "Creating a trusted zone" on page 52).

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SUSPECT AN OBJECT OF BEING

INFECTED WITH A VIRUS

If you suspect an object of being infected, first scan it for viruses (see section "How to scan a file, folder or disk for viruses" on page 45).

If the virus scan performed by Kaspersky Endpoint Security reveals that the object is not infected, though you suspect the opposite, move the object to Quarantine. Objects once moved in Quarantine are stored as archives, thus causing no risk to your computer. After the databases are updated, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will probably be able to clearly identify and eliminate the threat.

To move an object to Quarantine:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window opens.

2. In the left part of the report window, select Quarantine. The contents of Quarantine are displayed in the righthand part of the window.

3. Click the Add button and in the window that opens select the required file. It is added to the list with the added by user status.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security can change the status of a file moved to Quarantine manually after it is scanned with updated databases only if at least three days have passed since it had been scanned in Quarantine for the first time. If a file is assigned the false operation status, it will be automatically restored. If a file is identified as infected, it is deleted from Quarantine and a copy is stored in Backup Storage.

S O L V I N G T Y P I C A L T A S K S

HOW TO RESTORE AN OBJECT THAT HAS BEEN DELETED

OR DISINFECTED BY THE APPLICATION

We recommend that you avoid restoring deleted and disinfected objects unless it is extremely necessary, because they may threaten your computer.

Sometimes it is not possible to save objects in their entirety during the disinfection process. If a disinfected file contained important information that is partly or completely inaccessible following disinfection, you can attempt to restore the original object from its backup copy.

To restore an object that has been deleted or modified by the application:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window opens.

2. In the left part of the report window, select the Backup Storage section. The right part of the window displays the contents of Backup in the form of a list of copies of objects.

3. Select the copy of the object you require in the list and click the Restore button. Confirm the action. The object is restored to its original location with its original name. If there is an object with the same name in the original location (this situation is possible when restoring an object with a copy created prior to disinfection), a warning will pop up on screen. You can change the location of the object being restored or rename it.

We recommend that you scan the object for viruses immediately after restoring it. It is possible that the object will be disinfected using the updated databases without losing its integrity.

HOW TO VIEW THE REPORT ON THE APPLICATION'S

OPERATION

Information about events that occur during the operation of File Anti-Virus (see section "File Anti-Virus" on page 54), during a virus scan (see section "Scanning for viruses" on page 65) or during an update (see section "Updating the application" on page 81) is displayed in the reports window (see section "Reports" on page 96).

To open the report window,

open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE APPLICATION'S NOTIFICATIONS

APPEAR

Regardless of your settings, the application protects your computer against the most dangerous types of malware such as viruses, Trojans, and hacking tools. These programs may cause significant damage to your computer. To achieve a greater level of security for your computer, you can expand the list of threats that the application will detect, turning on monitoring of various potentially dangerous programs.

Malware and potentially dangerous programs against which Kaspersky Endpoint Security protects you are grouped as follows:

Viruses, worms, Trojans, hack tools. This group contains the most common and dangerous categories of

malware. This is the minimum admissible security level. In accordance with the recommendations of Kaspersky Lab experts, Kaspersky Endpoint Security always monitors this group of malware.

Spyware and Adware. This group includes potentially dangerous software that may cause inconvenience to

the user or even cause damage.

Auto-dialers. This group includes programs, which set up hidden dial-up connections, such as adult services

auto-dialers.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

Other programs. This group includes programs that are not malicious or dangerous, but which under certain

circumstances could be used to cause harm to your computer.

To select the groups of malware that Kaspersky Endpoint Security will protect your computer against:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Threats tab (see figure below).

2. In the Malware categories section, check the boxes next to the names of the malware groups against which Kaspersky Endpoint Security should protect your computer.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security always protects your computer against viruses, worms, Trojans, and hack tools. Therefore, it is not possible to uncheck the box for this group.

Depending on the selected groups, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will fully or partially use the anti-virus databases while File Anti-Virus is running (see section "File Anti-Virus" on page 54) and during virus scans (see section "Scanning for viruses" on page 65).

If all groups of malware are selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security provides the maximum level of anti-virus protection for your computer. If only protection against viruses, worms, Trojans and hacking tools is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not control potentially dangerous programs and other malware that may be installed on your computer and could cause moral or material damage.

Figure 15. Application preferences window. Threats

Kaspersky Lab does not recommend disabling monitoring of spyware, adware and auto-dialers. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security classifies a program, which you do not consider to be dangerous, as unwanted, you can configure an exclusion rule for it (see section "Creating a trusted zone" on page 52).

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

CREATING A TRUSTED ZONE

Trusted zone is a user-created list of objects that Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not monitor.

The user creates a trusted zone with regard to the objects he/she works with and the programs installed on the computer. You might need to create such an exclusion list if, for example, Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks access to an object or program which you know is safe.

Exclusion rules are sets of conditions under which Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not scan objects. It is possible to exclude from a scan files of a certain format (see section "List of objects scanned by their extension" on page 155), files by their mask (see "Permissible file exclusion masks" on page 157), a particular area (for example, a folder or program), application processes or objects by the type of threat in accordance with the Virus Encyclopedia (http://www.securelist.com).

An exclusion object will not be scanned when the disk or folder where it is located is being scanned. However, if you select that object specifically, the exclusion rule will not be applied to it.

Threat type is the status that Kaspersky Endpoint Security assigns to an object during the scan. The status is assigned based on the classification of malware and riskware listed in the Kaspersky Lab Virus Encyclopedia.

Riskware does not have any malicious features but can be used as an auxiliary component by malicious software, since such programs can contain holes and errors. This category includes, for example, remote administration programs, IRC clients, FTP servers, various utilities for stopping processes or hiding them, keyloggers, password macros, and autodialers. Such programs are classified in not-a-virus group. They can be divided into several types such as Adware, Joke, and Riskware. (for detailed information about unwanted programs detected by Kaspersky Endpoint Security, see the Virus Encyclopedia (http://www.securelist.com)). Such programs may be blocked after the scan. Since several of them are popular with users, you have the option of excluding them from the scan.

To create a new exclusion rule or view and modify an existing one, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Threats tab (see figure below).

Figure 16. Application preferences window. Threats

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

2. Under Exclusions, click the Trusted zone button (see figure above). A window (see figure below) opens, displaying a list of objects that Kaspersky Endpoint Security will not control when running.

Figure 17. The list of exclusion objects

You can perform the following actions:

Create new exclusion rule.

Click the button and in the Exclusion rule window that opens (see figure below) set the conditions.

Modify existing exclusion rule.

Select the exclusion rule in the list and click the Edit button. In the Exclusion rule window that opens (see figure below), modify the conditions.

Temporarily disable exclusion rule.

Select the exclusion rule in the list and uncheck the box next to it. The exclusion rule will be disabled until the box is checked again.

Delete exclusion rule.

Select the exclusion rule in the list and click the Modify button .

Creating an exclusion rule

In the Exclusion rule window that opens, specify the conditions for the exclusion rule in accordance with the following settings:

Object / All objects. Specify a file, folder or file mask (see section "Permissible file exclusion masks" on

page 157) as an exclusion object. You can enter the name / name mask of the object in the field manually or by clicking the Select button and selecting the object in the window that opens.

If the All objects option is selected, all objects on your computer which are of the threat type specified in the field below will be excluded from scan.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

Threats type / All threats. The setting allows to exclude objects from scan based on the threat type assigned

according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification. To enter the name of the threat, use the values in the dropdown list: start with, end with, contain, whole word, and specify the corresponding fragment of the name in the field to the right of the list. For example, if the start with not-a-virus value is selected, then legal but potentially dangerous programs will be excluded from scan. Specifying the name of the threat by mask (see section "Allowed exclusion masks according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification" on page 158) is also admissible.

If the All threats value is selected, then all objects specified in the Object field above will be excluded from scan, regardless of the threat type assigned to them.

If both the exclusion object and the threat type are selected, the rule will apply as follows:

If you specify a certain file as the object and a certain status as the threat type, the specified file will only be

excluded if during the scan it is assigned the selected threat status.

If you select an area or folder as the object and a status (or a mask) as the threat type, objects with that

status will be excluded from the scan only in that area or folder.

Component / All components. Select the Kaspersky Endpoint Security components that should apply the rule

being created: File Anti-Virus or Virus Scan.

If the All components option is selected, then all virus scan tasks and File Anti-Virus will use this rule.

Figure 18. Creating an exclusion rule

FILE ANTI-VIRUS

The computer's file system may contain viruses and other malicious programs that have persisted for years, having initially penetrated the computer from a removable disk drive or from the Internet and never causing any trouble.

File Anti-Virus is the component that monitors the computer's file system in real-time mode. By default, it is launched during startup of the operating system, persists continuously in RAM, and scans all files that are opened, started or saved on your computer and all associated disk drives.

File Anti-Virus works with files in the following manner:

1. The component intercepts every attempt by the user or by any program to access any file.

2. File Anti-Virus scans the iSwift (see section "Configuring additional settings" on page 61) database for information about the file. A decision is made whether to scan the file based on the information retrieved.

3. The file is analyzed for viruses. Malicious objects are detected using the Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases. These databases contain descriptions of all the currently known malicious programs along with instructions to neutralize them.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

Configuring File Anti-Virus ............................................................................................................................................... 58

Restoring default file protection settings.......................................................................................................................... 63

File protection statistics ................................................................................................................................................... 64

Depending on the results of the analysis, the following options of Kaspersky Endpoint Security are available:

If no malicious code is detected in the file, it will immediately become accessible.

If malicious code is detected in a file, File Anti-Virus blocks the file and attempts to disinfect it. After successful

disinfection, the file will become accessible. If disinfection fails, the file will be deleted. A copy of the file will be moved to Backup Storage (on page 94).

If a malicious code is detected in the file, it is moved to a special storage area known as Quarantine (on

page 91). An attempt can be made later to cure it using the updated anti-virus databases.

By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security is launched when the operating system starts, and protects your computer during the entire session. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security icon shows that File Anti-Virus is running (on page 31). If the icon is active, your computer's protection is enabled; if the icon is inactive, protection is disabled.

DISABLING FILE PROTECTION

Kaspersky Lab strongly recommends that you do not disable Anti-Virus real-time protection since this could lead to your computer becoming infected and loss of data.

Note that the icon indicates the protection status provided by File Anti-Virus (see section "Anti-virus protection of computer's file system" on page 54). Disabling or pausing File Anti-Virus does not impact the execution of virus scan tasks (see section "Scanning for viruses" on page 65) or application updates (see section "Updating the application" on page 81).

There are several ways to disable File Anti-Virus. However, before doing so you should know why you want to disable the component.

There is likely to be a different solution to the problem: change the security level (see section "Setting the security level" on page 58) or disable protection only for certain files by creating an exclusion rule (see section "Creating a trusted zone" on page 52). For example, if you are working with a database that you believe is free from viruses, just specify the folder containing its files as an exclusion. You may need to stop File Anti-Virus temporarily if Kaspersky Endpoint Security conflicts with other programs installed on your computer.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

The following methods can be used to disable File Anti-Virus:

Click the Kaspersky Endpoint Security icon (on page 31) and select Turn Protection Off from the context menu

(see figure below).

Figure 19. Disabling File Anti-Virus

Open the application preferences window (on page 34), select the Protection tab and uncheck the Enable File

Anti-Virus box (see figure below).

If you have disabled File Anti-Virus, it will not be turned on automatically when Kaspersky Endpoint Security restarts. You will need to enable file system protection manually (see section "Enabling file system protection" on page 57).

Figure 20. Application preferences window. Protection

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

RESTORING PROTECTION ON YOUR COMPUTER

If File Anti-Virus is disabled, it can be enabled only manually at the user's request. In this case, File Anti-Virus will not be automatically enabled after the system or Kaspersky Endpoint Security restarts.

The following methods can be used to enable File Anti-Virus:

Click the Kaspersky Endpoint Security icon (on page 31) and select Turn Protection On from the context menu

(see figure below).

Figure 21. Enabling File Anti-Virus

Open the application preferences window (on page 34), select the Protection tab and check the Enable File

Anti-Virus box (see the figure below).

Figure 22. Application preferences window. Protection

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

Use the Security Assistant (see section "Security Assistant" on page 43). You significantly increase the risk of

infecting your computer if you pause or stop protection, therefore this threat is immediately logged by the Security Assistant.

CONFIGURING FILE ANTI-VIRUS

File Anti-Virus is controlled using the following settings:

Security level.

The security level is a set of parameters that define the balance between the thoroughness and speed of scanning objects. There are three predefined security levels (see section "Selecting the security level" on page 58) with settings developed by Kaspersky Lab.

Action on detected object.

This action (see section "Selecting actions on objects" on page 63) defines how Kaspersky Endpoint Security

SELECTING THE SECURITY LEVEL

File Anti-Virus provides protection for your computer's file system at one of the following levels:

will react when an infected or potentially infected object is detected.

Maximum protection provides the most complete scan of the files you open, save, or start.

Recommended contains the settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab.

Maximum Speed - this level enables you to comfortably use other applications that require significant system

resources, since the range of files scanned is smaller.

By default, File Anti-Virus uses the Recommended security level. You can increase or decrease the level of file system protection by selecting Maximum protection or Maximum speed accordingly, or by modifying the current settings.

To change the defined security level, do the following:

1. Open the application settings window (on page 34) and select the Protection tab (see figure below).

2. In the Security level section, move the slider bar to the required position. Modifying the security level changes the balance between the scan speed and the total number of files scanned: the fewer files scanned for viruses, the higher the scan speed.

If none of the preset security levels meets your needs, you can customize the scan settings. You are advised to select the level closest to your requirements as a basis and then modify its settings. This will change the name of the security level to User.

To modify the settings for the current security level, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Protection tab (see figure below).

2. In the Security level section, click the Preferences button.

3. In the window that opens edit the file protection settings:

on the General tab (see section "Specifying the types of files to scan" on page 59), specify the types of files

to be scanned.

on the Protection scope tab (see section "Creating a protection scope" on page 60), specify the drives or

folders that are to be checked by File Anti-Virus.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

on the Additional tab (see section "Configuring additional settings" on page 61), set the run mode of the

component.

4. Click OK to save changes.

You can perform the following actions:

Add object to be scanned.

Click the button and in the window that opens select a folder or file.

Edit an object on the list (only available for user-added objects).

Select the object and click the Edit button. Make the required changes in the window that opens.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

Temporarily disable scanning of object.

Select the object and uncheck the box next to it. File Anti-Virus will not control this object until the box is checked again.

Delete an object (only available for user-added objects).

Select the object and click the button.

Figure 25. File Anti-Virus. Creating a protection scope

To limit the number of protected objects, you can:

specify only the folders, disk drives, or files you want to protect;

create a list of objects that do not need protection (see section "Creating a trusted zone" on page 52);

combine the first and second methods, i.e. create a protection scope and exclude a number of objects from it.

CONFIGURING ADDITIONAL SETTINGS

You can configure the following additional settings for File Anti-Virus: scan mode for file system objects, iSwift to improve performance, and the component's schedule.

To configure additional settings of File Anti-Virus, do the following:

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

SELECTING ACTIONS ON OBJECTS

If a virus scan reveals that a file is infected or potentially infected, the subsequent behavior of File Anti-Virus depends on the status of the object and the selected action.

When the scan is complete, the object may be identified as:

malicious, for example, a virus or Trojan;

potentially infected when the scan cannot determine whether the object is infected or not. The application has

probably found in the file a sequence of code from an unknown virus or modified code from a known virus.

By default, all malicious objects undergo disinfection and all potentially infected objects are placed in Quarantine (see section "Quarantine" on page 91).

To select action which File Anti-Virus needs to perform on detecting an infected or potentially infected object:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Protection tab (see figure below).

2. In the Action section, select the File Anti-Virus action.

Figure 27. Application preferences window. Protection

Before disinfecting the object or deleting it, Kaspersky Endpoint Security creates a backup copy and places it in the backup (on page 94) in case the object needs to be restored, or it becomes possible to disinfect it.

RESTORING DEFAULT FILE PROTECTION SETTINGS

You can restore the File Anti-Virus default settings at any time. Kaspersky Lab considers these settings to be optimal and has used them in its Recommended security level.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

To restore the default File Anti-Virus settings:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Protection tab (see figure below).

2. In the Security level section, click the Default button.

Figure 28. Application preferences window. Protection

FILE PROTECTION STATISTICS

Summary statistics on File Anti-Virus (number of objects scanned since its most recent launch, number of dangerous objects detected and disinfected, name of the most recently scanned file) are displayed in the bottom part of the main application window (see section "Main application window" on page 33).

Also, Kaspersky Endpoint Security provides a detailed report of File Anti-Virus operation.

To view the report:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button.

Detailed information about File Anti-Virus is provided in the report window to the right on the following tabs:

The Detected tab lists all dangerous objects detected by File Anti-Virus. For each object the name and path to

the folder where it is stored are displayed, as well as the status it has been assigned by File Anti-Virus. If the

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

malicious program that has infected the object is revealed, the object is assigned the corresponding status, for example, virus, Trojan, etc. If the type of malicious effect cannot be established precisely, the object is assigned the suspicious status. The action taken on the object is also specified next to the status (detected, disinfected).

The Events tab provides a full list of events logged during operation of File Anti-Virus, specifying the time,

name, status and cause of each event. The events can have the following statuses:

information (for example, object not processed, skipped by type);

warning (for example, a virus is detected);

comment (for example, archive is password-protected).

The Statistics tab provides information about the total number of scanned objects and, in separate columns,

how many objects out of the total number scanned are archives, how many are dangerous, how many have been disinfected, how many have been placed in Quarantine, etc.

The Preferences tab lists the main settings used by File Anti-Virus. To configure a component quickly, click the

Change options button.

VIRUS SCAN

In addition to the file system protection provided by File Anti-Virus (see section "File Anti-Virus" on page 54) in real-time mode, it is extremely important to scan your computer for viruses. This is required to stop the spread of malicious programs that have gone undetected by File Anti-Virus, because, for instance, the level of protection selected is low.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security comprises the following integrated virus scan tasks:

Virus Scan

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

CREATING A LIST OF OBJECTS TO SCAN

The pre-set Full Scan and Quick Scan tasks already contain lists of objects to scan. The Full Scan task allows you to scan all files stored on all hard drives of your computer. While running the Quick Scan task, Kaspersky Endpoint Security only scans vulnerable objects: folders containing operating system files and system libraries.

The Virus scan task requires you to create a list of objects to scan (files, folders, drives, removable devices).

To view the list of objects to scan during execution of the Full Scan and Quick Scan tasks or edit it:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Virus Scan tab.

2. In the list to the left, select the task name: Full Scan or Quick Scan.

3. To the right under Objects to scan click the Edit button. A window will open containing the list of objects (see figure below). Edit the list of objects, if necessary.

You can perform the following actions:

Add an object to the list.

Drag an object into the window, click the button and select a more suitable option (File or folder, All drives, Quarantine, etc.). If the object being added contains subfolders that should also be scanned, check the Include subfolders box in the file selection window. If the object being added contains symbolic links to other objects requiring a scan, check the Include symbolic links box in the file selection window that opens.

Edit an object on the list (only available for user-added objects).

Select the object and click the Edit button. Make the required changes in the window that opens.

Temporarily disable scanning of object.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

Select the object and uncheck the box next to it. The virus scan task will not be executed for this object until the box is checked again.

Delete an object (only available for user-added objects).

Select the object and click the button.

When creating user tasks (see section "Creating virus scan tasks" on page 68) the same procedure is used to generate or modify the list of objects to scan.

To select one or several objects to scan while running the Virus Scan task:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button.

2. In the menu that opens select the Virus scan task. A window will open in which to create a list of objects (see figure above). Edit the list using the algorithm described above.

CONFIGURING VIRUS SCAN TASKS

Tasks are executed on your computer according to the following settings:

Security level

The security level is a set of parameters that define the balance between the thoroughness and speed of scanning objects. There are three preset security levels (see section "Selecting the security level" on page 72) with settings developed by Kaspersky Lab.

Action on detected object

This action (see section "Selecting actions on objects" on page 74) defines how Kaspersky Endpoint Security will react when an infected or potentially infected object is detected.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

Run mode

Automatically running virus scan according to a schedule (see section "Configuring the virus scan task schedule" on page 75) enables you to scan your computer for viruses in due time. Only available for the Quick Scan, Full Scan tasks, and custom tasks.

Launching task under user account

Launching the task under a privileged user account (see section "Launching scan task under user account" on page 76) enables you to perform a timely scan, regardless of the rights of the current user. Only available for the Quick Scan, Full Scan tasks, and custom tasks.

In addition, you can set uniform values for the Security level and Action to be taken on detected objects for all virus scan tasks (see section "Assigning uniform values for all virus scan tasks" on page 77).

SELECTING THE SECURITY LEVEL

Each scan task ensures objects are scanned at one of the following levels:

Maximum protection - the most complete scan of the entire computer or individual disks, folders, or files. We

recommend this level if you suspect that your computer is infected with a virus.

Recommended contains the settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab.

Maximum speed - this level enables you to comfortably use other applications that require significant system

resources, since the range of files scanned is smaller.

By default, virus scan tasks are executed at the Recommended security level. You can increase or decrease the thoroughness of the scan by selecting Maximum protection or Maximum speed accordingly, or by modifying the current settings.

To modify the security level of a virus scan task, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Virus Scan tab (see figure below).

2. Select the task in the list to the left.

3. In the Security level section, move the slider bar to the required position. Changing the security level changes the balance between the scan speed and the total number of files scanned: the fewer files scanned for viruses, the higher the scan speed.

To modify the settings for the current security level, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Virus Scan tab (see figure below).

2. Select the task in the list to the left.

Figure 35. Virus Scan. Configuring scan settings

SELECTING ACTIONS ON OBJECTS

If a virus scan task reveals that an object is infected or potentially infected, the subsequent behavior of Kaspersky Endpoint Security depends on the status of the object and the selected action.

When the scan is complete, the object may be identified as:

malicious, for example, a virus or Trojan;

potentially infected when the scan cannot determine whether the object is infected or not. The application has

probably found in the file a sequence of code from an unknown virus or modified code from a known virus.

By default, all malicious objects undergo disinfection and all potentially infected objects are placed in Quarantine (see section "Quarantine" on page 91).

To select action which Kaspersky Endpoint Security needs to perform on detecting an infected or potentially infected

object:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34), select the Virus Scan tab and the name of the task in the list to the left (see figure below).

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

objects detected and the number of objects to be processed. Scan start time, estimated completion time, and duration are also displayed.

If any errors occur during the scan, run the task again. If the attempt to re-run the task also results in an error, contact Kaspersky Lab Technical Support Service (see section "Contacting Technical Support Service" on page 153).

Detailed information about the execution of virus scan tasks is provided in the report window to the right on the following tabs:

The Detected tab lists all the dangerous objects detected while the task was running. For each object the name

and path to the folder where it is stored are displayed, as well as the status it has been assigned by Kaspersky Endpoint Security. If the malicious program that has infected the object is revealed, the object is assigned the corresponding status, for example, virus, Trojan, etc. If the type of malicious effect cannot be established precisely, the object is assigned the suspicious status. The action taken on the object is also specified next to the status (detected, disinfected).

The Events tab keeps a full list of events that occur while the virus scan task is running with the time, name,

status and cause of each event. The events can have the following statuses:

information (for example, object not processed, skipped by type);

warning (for example, a virus is detected);

comment (for example, archive is password-protected).

The Statistics tab provides information about the total number of scanned objects and, in separate columns,

how many objects out of the total number scanned are archives, how many are dangerous, how many have been disinfected, how many have been placed in Quarantine, etc.

UPDATING THE APPLICATION

Keeping anti-virus databases up-to-date is vital for the security of your computer. As new viruses, Trojans, and malicious software emerge daily, it is extremely important to update the application regularly to keep your data permanently protected.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security update means that the following components will be downloaded and installed on your computer:

Anti-virus databases

The Anti-virus databases protect the data on your computer. File Anti-Virus (on page 54) and virus scan tasks (see section "Scanning for viruses" on page 65) use them to find and deal with malicious objects on your computer. Virus databases are updated hourly with new threats and ways to fight them, so it's important to update them regularly.

Application modules

In addition to the databases, you can update the internal modules of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Kaspersky Lab regularly releases update packages.

Main update sources of Kaspersky Endpoint Security are dedicated Kaspersky Lab update servers and Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server.

An Internet connection is required to download updates from the servers. If the Internet connection is established using a proxy server, adjust the network settings (see section "Configuring connection to a proxy server " on page 88).

If you cannot access the Kaspersky Lab update servers (for example, your Internet connection is down), contact Kaspersky Lab Technical Support Service (see section "Contacting Technical Support Service" on page 153) to receive the Kaspersky Endpoint Security updates on disk in ZIP format.

Updates can be downloaded in one of the following modes:

Automatically. Kaspersky Endpoint Security regularly checks for an update package in the update source.

During a virus outbreak the frequency of the checks may increase and decrease afterwards. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security detects new updates, it downloads them in the background and installs on the computer. This is the default mode.

By schedule. Kaspersky Endpoint Security is automatically updated according to a schedule.

Manually. In this case, you launch the Kaspersky Endpoint Security update manually.

During an update the application modules and anti-virus databases are compared with the ones currently available at the update source. If the most recent version of the databases and modules are installed on your computer, the bottom part of the main application window (see section "Main application window" on page 33) displays a message that the antivirus databases are up-to-date. If the bases and modules differ from those currently available at the update source, only the missing components of the update will be installed on your computer. Databases and modules are not copied in their entirety, which allows increasing update speed and reducing Internet traffic.

Prior to updating the databases and modules, Kaspersky Endpoint Security creates backup copies of them in case you need to rollback. Update rollback feature (see section "Rolling back the last update" on page 82) may be useful if a new version of the databases contains an invalid signature that makes Kaspersky Endpoint Security block a safe application.

In case of Kaspersky Endpoint Security database corruption, it is recommended to run the update task to download a valid set of databases for up-to-date protection.

At the same time as updating Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you can copy the downloaded updates to a local source (see section "Updating from a local source" on page 83). The service allows you to update Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases and modules used by the application locally on other computers to reduce Internet traffic.

STARTING UPDATE

Updating Kaspersky Endpoint Security in a timely manner keeps your computer protected at a due level. If the anti-virus databases and modules are not updated, the information on your computer is at serious risk.

The bottom part of the main application window (see section "Main application window" on page 33) displays the latest information about Kaspersky Endpoint Security updates: the release date of anti-virus databases, the number of records contained in the databases installed on your computer, and information about their actuality. The number of records in the databases reflects the number of currently known threats against which the computer is protected.

While using Kaspersky Endpoint Security, you can run the application update at any moment. To do so, click the button in the main window. Detailed information about the execution of this task is displayed in the report window (see section "Reports" on page 96).

At the same time as updates are downloaded from the Kaspersky Lab servers or from Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server, they will be copied to a local source (see section "Updating from a local source" on page 83), given that the service is enabled.

ROLLING BACK THE LAST UPDATE

Every time you run the application update, Kaspersky Endpoint Security first creates a backup copy of the databases and modules in use, and only after that starts updating them. This operation procedure allows you to return to the previous version of the databases, if necessary. Update rollback feature may be useful in case a new version of the databases contain an invalid signature that makes Kaspersky Endpoint Security block a safe application.

In case of Kaspersky Endpoint Security database corruption, it is recommended to run the update task to download a valid set of databases for up-to-date protection.

To rollback the anti-virus databases, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Update tab (see figure below).

2. In the Rollback update section, click the Rollback update button.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

You can view the results of the rollback in the report window (see section "Virus scan statistics" on page 89).

Figure 42. Application preferences window. Update

UPDATING FROM A LOCAL SOURCE

If several computers are connected via a local network, there is no need to download Kaspersky Endpoint Security updates for each of them separately since this would significantly increase the network traffic. You can use the update distribution service to locally update the Kaspersky Endpoint Security anti-virus databases and modules used by the application on other computers, thereby reducing Internet traffic. To do so, set up update distribution as follows:

1. One of the computers on the network retrieves the Kaspersky Endpoint Security update package from the Kaspersky Lab web servers or from Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server, or from another web resource hosting the current set of updates. The updates retrieved are placed in a shared folder.

Shared folder should be created in advance.

2. Other computers on the network refer to the shared folder as the update source.

To enable the update distribution service, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Update tab (see figure below).

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

2. In the Update section, click the Preferences button.

Figure 43. Application preferences window. Update

3. In the window that opens, select the Additional tab in the window that opens (see the figure below). Check the Copy updates to folder box and click the Select button.

4. In the standard window that opens, select a shared folder in which retrieved updates should be saved.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security only retrieves its own exclusive update package from Kaspersky Lab update servers or Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server.

Figure 44. Configuring settings for the update distribution service

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

CONFIGURING THE UPDATE

Kaspersky Endpoint Security is only updated in accordance with the following settings:

Run mode

The choice of update mode determines whether the update is launched automatically (recommended by Kaspersky Lab), manually or scheduled. If the latter option is selected, you should create an update task launch schedule (see section "Configuring scheduled update task launch" on page 88).

Update object

The update object determines what is to be updated: only the anti-virus databases or the application databases and the modules. Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases are always updated, and the application modules are only updated if the corresponding box is checked (see section "Selecting the update mode and objects" on page 85).

Update source

Update source is a resource that contains actual files of anti-virus databases and modules for Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Update sources can be HTTP and FTP servers, local or network folders.

Network settings

To download updates from Kaspersky Lab's update servers or sources other than local or network folders, your computers needs to be connected to the Internet. If the Internet connection is established using a proxy server, you should adjust the network settings (see section "Configuring connection to a proxy server" on page 88).

SELECTING THE UPDATE MODE AND OBJECTS

When configuring the update settings of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, it is very important to define the update object and run mode.

To configure the update task run schedule:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Update tab (see figure below).

2. In the Run mode section, select the update task run mode.

To allow the application to copy and install not only anti-virus databases but also application modules when running

the update:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34), select the Update tab (see figure below).

2. In the Update section, check the Update application modules box.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

If module updates are available during execution of the update task, Kaspersky Endpoint Security retrieves and applies them after rebooting your computer. The downloaded module updates will not be installed until the computer restarts. If the next application update becomes available before the computer is restarted and the program module updates downloaded earlier are installed, the databases are only updated.

Figure 45. Application preferences window. Update

SELECTING AN UPDATE SOURCE

The update source is a resource containing current files in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security anti-virus databases and modules. Update sources can be HTTP and FTP servers, local or network folders.

The main update source is Kaspersky Lab's update servers. These are special websites where updates of databases and internal modules for all Kaspersky Lab products are stored. Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server is also employed as update source for Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

If you cannot access Kaspersky Lab's update servers (for example, there is no Internet connection), contact Technical Support Service to receive the updates in ZIP format. You can copy the updates and upload them to an FTP or HTTP site, or save them in a local or network folder.

When ordering updates on removable media, please specify if you want to receive the updates for internal Kaspersky Endpoint Security modules as well.

To select an update source for Kaspersky Endpoint Security:

1. Open application settings window (on page 34) and select the Update tab.

2. In the Update section, click the Preferences button.

3. In the window that opens, select the Update source tab (see the figure below). Edit the list of update sources, if necessary.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

By default, the list of update sources only contains Kaspersky Lab update servers and Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server. When running an update, Kaspersky Endpoint Security refers to this list for the address of the first server on it and attempts to download the updates from this server. If the updates cannot be downloaded from the selected server, the application tries to connect and retrieve the updates from the next server. This continues until a connection is successfully established, or until all the available update servers have been tried. For subsequent updates the application first of all tries to access the server from which the most recent update was successfully made.

You can perform the following actions:

Add a new update source to the list.

Click the button and select the most suitable option from the dropdown list (Path – for a local or network folder or URL – for a HTTP or FTP server). In the window that opens specify the location of the new update source.

Change the update source.

Select the update source in the list and click the Edit button. Make the required changes in the window that opens.

Note that such update sources as Kaspersky Lab update servers and Kaspersky Administration Kit Administration Server cannot be edited or deleted.

Temporarily disable retrieval of updates from the source.

Select the update source in the list and uncheck the box next to it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security will not be updated from this source until the box is checked again.

Delete update source.

Select the update source in the list and click the button.

3. In the Proxy server section, configure the proxy server.

Figure 48. Application preferences window. Network

If you are downloading the update from an FTP server, connection to the server is in passive mode by default. If this connection fails, it will attempt to connect in active mode.

By default, the time assigned to connect to an update server is one minute. If a connection cannot be established, after this period an attempt is made to connect to the next update source in the list. This continues until a connection is successfully established, or until all the available update servers have been tried.

UPDATE STATISTICS

Brief statistics on the current update service (release date of anti-virus databases, number of database records, information about the actuality of databases) are provided in the lower part of the main application window (see section "Main application window" on page 33).

QUARANTINE

Quarantine is a special repository containing the objects that are potentially infected with viruses.

Potentially infected objects are objects suspected by Kaspersky Endpoint Security of being infected with viruses or their

modifications. The potentially infected status can be assigned to an object in the following cases:

The code of the object being analyzed resembles a known threat but is partially altered.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security anti-virus databases contain threats that have been already analyzed by Kaspersky Lab specialists. If the databases do not yet contain any information about this modification of a malicious program, Kaspersky Endpoint Security recognizes objects infected with this modification as potentially infected ones and finds a threat that seems the most similar to this type of infection.

The code of the detected object resembles a malicious program in terms of its structure, but Kaspersky

Endpoint Security does not contain any records similar to it.

It is quite possible that this is a new type of threat, so Kaspersky Endpoint Security classifies that object as a potentially infected object.

Potentially infected objects can be detected and placed in Quarantine by File Anti-Virus (see section "File Anti-Virus" on page 54) or during a virus scan (see section "Scanning for viruses" on page 65).

Additionally, you can move an object to Quarantine manually by clicking the Quarantine button in a special notification (see section "What to do when the application's notifications appear" on page 49) that appears on the screen when a potentially infected object is detected.

When Kaspersky Endpoint Security moves a potentially infected object to Quarantine, it deletes it from the current folder and saves it in the Quarantine folder. Files in Quarantine are stored in a special format and are not dangerous.

VIEWING THE CONTENTS OF QUARANTINE

You can view the contents of Quarantine in the Quarantine section in the report window (see figure below).

To view the contents of Quarantine, do the following:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window opens.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

2. In the left part of the report window, select Quarantine. The contents of Quarantine are displayed in the righthand part of the window.

Figure 50. Report window. Quarantine

ACTIONS ON QUARANTINED OBJECTS

Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows you to carry out the following actions on potentially infected objects:

Manually move to Quarantine files that you suspect are infected but have not been detected by Kaspersky

Endpoint Security.

To do this, in the Quarantine window (see figure below), click the Add button and select the required file in the standard window that opens. It is added to the list with the added by user status.

Files moved to Quarantine manually may change their status if they have been scanned using the most recent databases no earlier than three days after they were scanned for the first time in Quarantine. If a file is assigned the false operation status, it will be automatically restored. If a file is identified as infected, it is deleted from Quarantine and a copy is stored in Backup Storage.

Scan and disinfect all potentially infected quarantined objects , using the current version of Kaspersky Endpoint

Security databases.

To do this, in the Quarantine window (see figure below), click the Scan all button. After scanning and disinfecting any quarantined object, its status can change to infected, potentially infected, false operation, OK, etc.

The status of an object in Quarantine is changed only after it is scanned using anti-virus databases released no earlier than three days after the file was placed in Quarantine.

The infected status means that the object was identified as infected but the application did not manage to treat it. Kaspersky Endpoint Security deletes such objects from Quarantine, saving copies of them in Backup. All objects with the false operation status are restored to their original locations.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically scans quarantined objects after each update (see section "Scan of Quarantine after update" on page 93).

Restore files to the folder specified by the user or the folder from which they were moved to Quarantine (by

default).

To restore an object, select it in the Quarantine window (see figure below) and click the Restore button. Confirm the action. When restoring objects quarantined from archives, mail databases or mail format files, you should also specify the directory in which they will be restored.

We recommend that you only restore objects with the false positive, OK, and disinfected statuses since restoring other objects can lead to your computer becoming infected.

Delete any object in Quarantine.

Only delete objects that cannot be disinfected. To delete an object, select one in the Quarantine window (see figure below) and click the Delete button. To clear Quarantine storage, click the Clear all button. You can also configure automatic deletion of the oldest objects in Quarantine (see section "Configuring Quarantine and Backup Storage" on page 99).

Figure 51. Report window. Quarantine

SCAN OF QUARANTINE AFTER UPDATE

Each package of anti-virus database updates contains new records to protect your computer from the most recent threats. Kaspersky Lab specialists recommend that you scan potentially infected objects stored in Quarantine immediately after update (see section "Quarantine" on page 91).

Quarantine stores objects whose contents include malware that was not properly identified by File Anti-Virus or during a virus scan task. After the databases are updated, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will probably be able to clearly identify and eliminate the threat.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans quarantined objects after each update. If an object still has the potentially infected status, it remains in storage. If the status changes to infected, the object is processed according to the selected

action and removed from Quarantine. A copy of it is placed in Backup Storage (on page 94). If the scan has considered the object as not infected and more than three days have passed since the most recent update of the databases, the object is restored from Quarantine to its current location. If the databases have been updated within the last three days, the object remains in storage.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security will not be able to scan quarantined objects immediately after updating the databases if you are using Quarantine at that moment.

You can disable scan of quarantined objects after each update of the application by unchecking the corresponding box on the Update tab of the application preferences window.

BACKUP STORAGE

Backup copy is a copy of the original dangerous object that is created when first disinfecting or deleting the object, and saved in Backup Storage.

Backup Storage is a dedicated storage area containing backup copies of dangerous objects that have been processed or deleted. The main function of Backup is the ability to restore an original object at any time. Files in Backup are saved in a special format and are not dangerous for the operating system.

VIEWING THE CONTENTS OF BACKUP

You can view the contents of Backup Storage in the Backup Storage section of the report window (see figure below).

To view the contents of Backup, do the following:

1. Open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window opens.

2. In the left part of the report window, select the Backup Storage section. The contents of Quarantine are displayed in the right-hand part of the window.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

The following information is provided for each backup copy: the full name of the object with the path to its original location, the time when it was moved, the status assigned after the scan, and its size.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows you to carry out the following actions on backup copies of objects:

Restore selected backup copies from Quarantine.

To do this, in the Backup Storage window (see figure below), select the backup copy of the required object from the list and click the Restore button. Confirm the action. The object is restored to its original location with its original name. If there is an object with the same name in the original location (this situation is possible when restoring an object with a copy created prior to disinfection), a warning will pop up on screen. You can change the location of the object being restored or rename it.

We recommend that you scan the object for viruses immediately after restoring it. It is possible that the object will be disinfected using the updated databases without losing its integrity.

We do not recommend that you restore backup copies of objects unless absolutely necessary. This could lead to an infection on your computer.

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

Delete backup copies of objects in Quarantine.

We recommend that you periodically view Quarantine and clear it. To delete an object, select it in the Quarantine window (see figure below) and click the Delete button. To clear Backup completely, click the Clear all button. You can also configure automatic deletion of the oldest objects in Backup Storage (see section "Configuring Quarantine and Backup Storage" on page 99).

REPORTS

Kaspersky Endpoint Security can provide a detailed report on its overall operation with a list of all events that occurred while it was running. Besides that, a dedicated detailed report will be created for each application component: File AntiVirus (see section "File protection statistics" on page 64), virus scan tasks (see section "Virus scan statistics" on page 79), and update tasks (see section "Update statistics" on page 89).

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

To open the report window,

open the main application window (on page 33) and click the button.

Figure 54. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security report window.

The report window contains the following sections:

Reports. Statistical information about dangerous objects detected and objects placed in Quarantine and

Backup Storage, and a list of events logged during operation. All statistics are divided into subsections:

Detected. This is a list of all dangerous and suspicious objects detected by File Anti-Virus and virus scan

tasks. To disinfect the dangerous objects immediately, click the Disinfect all button. To remove the records on detected objects from the report, click the Clear button. Note that this will not remove the dangerous and suspicious objects from your computer.

Events. List of all events logged during Kaspersky Endpoint Security operation. To delete information from

the list, click the Clear all button.

Quarantine. A list of objects moved to Quarantine (see section "Quarantine" on page 91).

Backup Storage. A list of objects placed in Backup Storage (on page 94).

Running tasks. List of tasks being performed by Kaspersky Endpoint Security at the moment. If no task is

active and File Anti-Virus is disabled, the list will be empty.

Completed tasks. This a list of completed tasks. You may view all completed tasks or the twenty most recent

ones. To clear the list, click the button in the bottom-left corner of the report window and select the Delete all completed tasks command.

From the report window you can manage the operation of File Anti-Virus, virus scans and update tasks: start and stop them. To do so, use the corresponding buttons in the component or task report window.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows saving the operation report in text format. This may be required if File Anti-Virus or another task returned a runtime error that cannot be deleted by the user. In such case, you can contact Kaspersky Lab

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E

Technical Support Service (see section "Contacting Technical Support Service" on page 153). In this case, you need to send a text report to Technical Support Service so that our specialists can study the problem in detail and fix it as quickly as possible.

To export a Kaspersky Endpoint Security operational report to a text file:

1. Select the required report or task in the report window.

2. In the bottom-left corner of the window click the button, select the Export command, and in the window that opens specify the filename and the folder in which it will be saved.

CONFIGURING REPORTS AND STORAGES

On the Reports tab of the application preferences window (see section "Application preferences window" on page 34), you can adjust the settings for the creation and storage of reports as well as set the maximum storage time for objects in Quarantine and Backup Storage.

CONFIGURING THE REPORT SETTINGS

To configure the settings for creating and saving reports, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Reports tab (see figure below).

2. In the Reports section, adjust the following settings:

Allow informational events to be logged.

As a rule, these events are not important for security. To log these events in the report, check Log non- critical events box.

Save only important events in the report that occurred during the most recent task.

This saves disk space by reducing the size of the report. If the Keep only recent events box is checked, the information in the report will be updated every time you restart the task: in this case important information (such as records about malicious objects detected) will be saved, and non-critical information will be overwritten.

Set the storage period for reports.

A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S

The default storage duration for reports is 30 days. Then the reports will be deleted. You can change the maximum storage period or remove this restriction.

Figure 55. Application preferences window. Reports

CONFIGURING QUARANTINE AND BACKUP STORAGE

By default, the storage term for objects in Quarantine and Backup is 30 days; when it expires, objects are deleted. You can change the maximum storage period for objects or remove this restriction at all.

To configure the settings for storing objects, do the following:

1. Open the application preferences window (on page 34) and select the Reports tab (see figure below).

A D M I N I S T R A T O R ' S G U I D E
