Task settings – General
Show all | Hide all
On the General tab, you can define the general settings of the task (e.g., select a SharePoint server for scanning), set up the task run mode and the mode of anti-virus scanning and content filtering during the task run. You can set up different modes of anti-virus scanning and content filtering for various tasks.
Task name
Task name. The name should not be identical to the names of other tasks.
Move files to backup
Saves object copies in Backup.
If this check box is selected, the application saves copies of objects in Backup in the following cases:
- Before disinfecting / deleting an infected or possibly infected file
- When blocking / detecting a web object that contains unwanted content.
If the check box is cleared, the application does not save the object copies in Backup.
The check box is cleared by default.
Restrict the duration of task execution
Stop task automatically when specified time interval expires.
If this check box is selected, the application limits the task run time. In the spin box on the right, you can specify the maximum allowed time of task run in hh:mm format. If the task is not completed when the specified time interval expires, the application stops the task. The maximum task run time is 30 minutes. The default task run time is 3 hours.
If this check box is cleared, the task run time is unlimited.
The check box is cleared by default.
Run task on server
This dropdown list allows you to select the protected SharePoint server on which you want to run the scan task. The list shows all servers that have been added to Management Console.
Scan service files
Enables the scanning of SharePoint service files.
If this check box is selected, the application scans service files for viruses and unwanted content.
Service files in SharePoint include:
- files not included into any list of documents (for example, into a SharePoint library);
- files present on the list of documents, but actually structured as a web form or a view.
Popular formats of service files are ASPX, HTML, MHT, and INI.
If this check box is cleared, the application does not scan service files.
The check box is cleared by default.
If a virus is detected in a service file of ASPX format, the application only deletes the file's contents. The application does not delete service files that contain unwanted content.
Scan timeout
Limits the duration of object scanning.
If this check box is selected, the application limits the object scan time (e.g., when scanning a file). In the spin box on the right, you can specify the maximum allowed scan time (in seconds). When the specified time expires, the application stops the object scan and proceeds to another object. If an object scan has been stopped due to the expiration of the specified time interval, the application assigns the Not infected status to the object.
Possible values in this field span from 30 to 60,000 seconds. The default scan timeout is 30 seconds.
If the check box is cleared, the object scan time is unlimited.
The check box is cleared by default.
In the Schedule section, you can select the task run mode (manual or automatic) and set up the schedule of automatic scan run.
Manually
Scheduled startup of the task is disabled. You can run the task manually at any time you like.
This is the default option.
Once
The application automatically runs the task once, on the day and at the time that you have specified.
If you select this option, the Start day and Start time fields become available so that you can set up the task run mode.
Weekly
The application automatically runs the task weekly, according to the schedule that you have set up.
If you select this option, the Start day and Start time fields become available so that you can configure the task run schedule.
In the Anti-Virus scan section, you can enable the anti-virus scanning and set up rules for processing objects with an anti-virus scan.
Enable Anti-Virus scan
Enable Anti-Virus scan.
If this check box is selected, the application scans the most recent versions of files stored on SharePoint websites when running the task.
You can specify which formats and file names must be excluded from scan by using the Exclusions from scan tab.
If the check box is cleared, Anti-Virus scan is disabled.
The check box is selected by default.
Actions with infected and probably infected files
A dropdown list in which you can configure the application's actions on infected and possibly infected files:
- Disinfect. Kaspersky Security automatically attempts to disinfect the file. If the Task name check box is selected, the application moves a copy of the file to Backup before disinfection. If the file cannot be disinfected, the application blocks users' access to the file.
- Delete. The application deletes the infected file and all versions of this file (whether infected or not).
- Skip. The application takes no actions on the infected file and proceeds to the next one.
The default option is Disinfect.
Actions with password-protected files
A dropdown list in which you can select the application's action on password-protected files:
- Delete. The application deletes the password-protected file.
- Skip. The application takes no actions on the password-protected file and proceeds to the next one.
The default option is Skip.
Actions with corrupted files
A dropdown list in which you can select the application's action on corrupted files:
- Delete. The application deletes the corrupted file.
- Skip. The application takes no actions on the corrupted file and proceeds to the next one.
The default option is Skip.
The Content filtering section allows enabling content filtering, as well as configuring the application's actions on files with unwanted content.
Enable Content filtering
Enabling content filtering.
If this check box is selected, the application scans files stored on SharePoint websites for unwanted information when running the task. The application scans files in accordance with the content filtering rules configured on the Content Filtering rules tab.
If this check box is cleared, content filtering is disabled.
The check box is cleared by default.
Actions with files that contain unwanted content
A dropdown list in which you can configure the application's actions on files with unwanted content:
- Block. The application blocks users' access to the file.
- Skip. The application takes no actions on the infected file and proceeds to the next one.
The default option is Block.
Scan SharePoint web content
Scanning SharePoint web objects for unsolicited data.
If this check box is selected, the application scans SharePoint web objects (such as wiki pages, forums, blogs) for unsolicited data. On detecting unwanted data in a web object, the application makes a corresponding record in the application log and the Windows event log. Kaspersky Security does not delete web objects and does not move them to Backup. This check box is available if Content Filtering is enabled.
You can configure criteria for recognition of unsolicited data in web objects on the Content Filtering rules tab.
If this check box is cleared, web objects will not be scanned.
The check box is cleared by default.
