About scan tasks

To find viruses and other types of malware and check the integrity of application modules, Kaspersky Endpoint Security includes the following tasks:

• Full Scan. A thorough scan of the entire computer. By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans the following objects:
  • Kernel memory
  • Objects that are loaded at startup of the operating system
  • Boot sectors
  • Operating system backup
  • All hard and removable drives
• Critical Areas Scan. By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans the kernel memory, running processes, and disk boot sectors.
• Custom Scan. Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans the objects that are selected by the user. You can scan any object from the following list:
  • Kernel memory
  • Objects that are loaded at startup of the operating system
  • Operating system backup
  • Outlook mailbox
  • All hard, removable, and network drives
  • Any selected file
• Integrity Check. Kaspersky Endpoint Security checks the application modules for corruption or modifications.

The Full Scan and Critical Areas Scan tasks are somewhat different than the others. For these tasks, it is not recommended to edit the scan scope.

After scan tasks start, their completion progress is displayed in the field next to the name of the running scan task, in the Tasks section on the Protection and Control tab of the main window of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

Information on the scan results and events that have occurred during the performance of scan tasks is logged in a Kaspersky Endpoint Security report.
