Full Version: Scan only on "write" not "read"

Is it possible to configure the realtime scanner of KAV for Windows servers 6.0.3.837 in a way that he only scans 'incoming' files (or 'write' actions) and ignores the outgoing files or read actions?
This way I would like to improve the performance on a server
(I know all files on the server are save by doing a full scan during implementation)

You can change this.

Go into the properties for file-anti-virus then customize and you can find it under additional.

In the Additional -tab I can select these Scan mode options:

* Smart mode
* On access and modification
* On access
* On execution

But none of them seem to be the 'on save' mode I'm looking for

from the help file:
* Smart mode. This mode is aimed at speeding up file processing and return them to the user. When it is selected, a decision to scan is made based on analyzing the operations performed with the file.
For example, when using a Microsoft Office file, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans the file when it is first opened and last closed. All operations in between that overwrite the file are not scanned.
Smart mode is the default.
* On access and modification – File Anti-Virus scans files as they are opened or edited.
* On access – only scans files when an attempt is made to open them.
* On execution – only scans files when an attempt is made to run them.

Please try access. This should be the same result.

The help file indicates that 'On access' is the exact opposite of what I try to accomplish.
I would like to scan on 'only scans files when an attempt is made to edit or write to them' not 'open them'.

I'll try it anyway. thanks for the swift replies.
