Scan optimization
You can reduce the scan time and speed up Kaspersky Anti-Virus. To do that, you can specify two types of restrictions:
- restriction on the scan duration: once the specified time period elapses, the object scan will be stopped;
- restriction on the maximum size of the object to scan: objects larger than the specified limit will be skipped during the scan.
To impose a time restriction on the scan duration, perform the following steps:
- In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Real-time protection task type.
- Select theProtection areas tab.
- Within the line containing the selected protection area, click the link in the Security Level column.
This will open the Task settings window on the Security settings tab.
- In the Scan limits section, check the Skip objects larger than box and in the field to the right specify the maximum size of scanned object in MB.
- Click OK to close the Task settings window.
- On the Protection areas tab, click the Save button to save the changes.
