Configuring general task settings

To configure the Anti-Cryptor for NetApp task:

1. On the General tab, configure the following settings:
   • In the Task mode section:
     • Notify only
       

       Select this option to receive notifications about detected file encryption attempts. The application generates events in the task log.

     • Active
       

       Select this option to block file operations performed by the compromised hosts on a protected NAS. The application adds hosts to the Blocked hosts storage if a file encryption attempt has been detected. Any file operations from this host will be blocked for a period of time specified in the storage settings.

   • In the Heuristic analyzer section:
     • Clear or select the Use heuristic analyzer check box.
       

       This check box enables / disables Heuristic Analyzer during object scanning.

       If the check box is selected, Heuristic Analyzer is enabled.

       If the check box is cleared, Heuristic Analyzer is disabled.

       The check box is selected by default.

     • If necessary, adjust the level of analysis using the slider.
       

       The heuristic analysis level sets the balance between the thoroughness of searches for threats, the load on the operating system's resources and the time required for scanning.

       The following scanning sensitivity levels are available:

       • Light. Heuristic Analyzer performs fewer instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is somewhat lower. Scanning is faster and less resource-intensive.
       • Medium. Heuristic Analyzer performs the number of executable file instructions recommended by Kaspersky experts.

       This level is selected by default.

       • Deep. Heuristic Analyzer performs more instructions within executable files. The probability of threat detection in this mode is higher. Scanning uses more system resources, takes more time, and can produce a higher number of false alarms.

       The setting is available if the Use heuristic analyzer check box is selected.

2. On the Addressing tab, configure connection and authentication settings.
3. On the Schedule tab, configure the task start schedule.
4. Open the Exclusion list window, to add exclusions from the protection scope.
5. Click OK.
