On-demand scan

On-demand scanning is files scanning on SharePoint servers that is performed manually or according to a schedule created in advance.

Kaspersky Security scans the following objects on-demand:

• SharePoint files;
• all SharePoint web objects (such as wiki pages and forums hosted on the SharePoint server);
• SharePoint service files.

You can perform on-demand scans simultaneously on several SharePoint servers. This will reduce scanning time considerably.

The application scans only the last versions of files and SharePoint web objects hosted on the SharePoint server.

During on-demand scanning, Kaspersky Security performs:

1. Performs anti-virus file scanning in accordance with the scan exclusions settings.
2. Searches for unwanted file formats and unwanted file names.
3. Scans files and SharePoint web objects for unwanted content.

Status labels assigned to files based on scan results

Based on the results of Anti-Virus scanning, Kaspersky Security assigns one of the following status labels to the file:

• Not infected. No threats detected in the file.
• Infected. A file a segment of whose code fully matches a code segment of a known threat.
• Probably infected. A file whose code contains a modified segment of code of a known threat, or a file resembling a threat in the way it behaves.
• Password-protected. A password-protected archive.
• Corrupted. The file cannot be read by Kaspersky Security.

Based on the results of content filtering, Kaspersky Anti-Virus assigns one of the following status labels to the file:

• Allowed. There is no unwanted content in the file.
• Forbidden format. The file has an unwanted format.
• Forbidden mask. The file name contains an unwanted mask.
• Forbidden content. The file has been found to contain unwanted words and phrases.

Based on the results of content filtering, the application assigns one of the following status labels to the SharePoint web part:

• Allowed. The SharePoint web object does not contain unwanted content.
• Forbidden content. The SharePoint web object has been found to contain unwanted content.

On-demand scan tasks

To run on-demand scan tasks, you have to configure an on-demand scan task or tasks in Kaspersky Security. You can configure anti-virus scanning and content filtering settings for each on-demand scan task, and define a schedule.

On-demand scan tasks can be run manually or scheduled to run automatically. The application generates a report with the results of each scan task.

The list of on-demand scan tasks is displayed in a table in the workspace of the On-demand scan node. The on-demand scan tasks that were not run or could not be run at the scheduled time are highlighted in red. Color highlighting is not used for other tasks.

The reasons for not running the tasks are displayed in the Status column:

• Task servers are missing. Kaspersky Security Server has been deleted from all SharePoint servers specified in the on-demand scan task settings. You can specify other servers on which the Security Server has been installed in the task settings.
• Task not executed. All SharePoint servers specified in the on-demand scan task settings were unavailable at the time scheduled for the start of the task. SharePoint server availability must be checked. You can run the task manually.
