Selecting interception mode

Kaspersky Anti-Virus includes two components intercepting attempts to access files and scanning those files. They are Samba interceptor (used to scan objects on server accessed from remote computers via the SMB / CIFS protocol) and the kernel level interceptor (scanning objects accessed using other methods).

The Samba interceptor provides, as additional object information, the IP address of the remote computer on which an application attempted to access an object when it was intercepted by Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

To select the interception mode, perform the following steps:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Real-time protection task type.
  2. Select the Interception method tab.
  3. Select one of the three available interception modes:
    • All operations. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans server objects with the Samba interceptor when they are accessed via SMB / CIFS. Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses the kernel level interceptor to intercept all other operations on files that are accessible on the protected server (including files on remote computers).

      Make sure that you have installed both interceptors during initial configuration while installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

    • File system only. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans server objects without using the SAMBA interceptor.

      Make sure that you have installed the kernel level interceptor.

    • Samba only. Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans objects with the Samba interceptor only when they are accessed via SMB / CIFS.

      Make sure that you have installed the Samba VFS module during initial configuration while installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

  4. Click the Save button to save the changes.
