Hi, May i know what should we select under the schedule of Anti-Cryptor in Kaspersky for Windows Servers. If it is stopped, does that mean it is not protecting the server from ransomware attack? Thanks.

If it's not running, it's not protecting anything. I think the recommended setting would be to launch the task at program start. Then it will be started and keep running after KSFSW launches.

ok thanks. Is there a way to test if the Anti-Cryptor will protect the system if there is a ransomware attack?

Hello, You can try using something like AES Crypt to encrypt the files on the protected network shared folder.

ok i tried to encrypt a file with AES Crypt and was able to encrypt it with a password but then access to the shared folder was blocked from my pc. That means Kasperky Anti-cryptor doesn't stop the first action of encryption? Right?

The AntiCryptor works aynchronously to not affect the system with its heuristics - but it also means that the first encryption operation may gets through and only subsequent operations get blocked. So yes, one file may get encrypted.
