Managing Kaspersky Anti-Virus using Kaspersky Administration kit
79
A
policy
is a set of Kaspersky Anti-Virus settings defined at the group level of
the logical network.
Using policies, the administrator can fully manage anti-virus protection because
policies include both Kaspersky Anti-Virus settings and task settings (except only
the settings that should take effect at task startup, for example, task schedule
settings).
A policy might also limit or prohibit changes of task or applications settings. The
administrator can apply these limits from either the local ConsoleOne interface,
web interface, or Kaspersky Administration Kit interface.
A
task
is a named action performed by the application. According to functionality,
tasks are divided into the following types:
•
Real-time protection task;
•
On-demand scan task;
•
Database updating task;
•
Install license key task.
Every task has own
task settings
, which are settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus
used to perform the task.
Application settings
are additional settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
