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:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Real-time protection task type.
  2. Select theProtection areas tab.
  3. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. Click OK to close the Task settings window.
  6. On the Protection areas tab, click the Save button to save the changes.
