I'm new to Kaspersky and we recently deployed it across our network. I remember setting a schedule for updating and scanning. Well, the scan is running now and it's basically crippled my desktop. Not good. Can anyone point me where the schedule for the scan is? And also how do I force the policy to update across the network once I have updated this schedule?

I highly discourage anyone from enforcing a scheduled scan, unless you're doing it overnight. Pentium 4 machine, 512 MB Ram. It's not exactly the latest & greatest technology, but it's no slouch. And this scan has more or less rendered the machine useless. Luckily Group Policy is only on a handful of machines, and luckily, it's a Friday and not many people are in the office.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Greg

As a temporary solution, I killed group policy and rebooted several machines. Kaspersky lists the scan as 'aborted' on the local machines and thankfully, it hasn't restarted scanning. Still haven't found the schedule in the Admin Kit. I know it's probably right in front of me.

Hello,

This kind of task can be found in the group task of the logical group named "Group" and also in all group task of all sub-groups.

Once you found this task, right click on it and check the content of the schedule tab.

DB,

There are no Group Tasks in either the main Groups folder or in our domain's subfolder, which is weird. When the scan was running and I moused over the K in the taskbar, it clearly said "Group Task, Virus Scan running."

Should I delete Group Policy and start over?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Greg

Did you check your global tasks as well ?
