How do I set Kaspersky to autoscan/at least ask to scan USB Drives when they are plugged in to the PC?

[Guest #13737]

There seems to no option. How do I set up Kaspersky Free cloud antivirus to do that? Isn’t that a very basic feature that should be included in the free antivirus? Please help..

Hello @molemden10,

Welcome!

• There is no “ask” option, external devices are auto-scanned on connection, you select individual devices or “all”
• Open Kaspersky Security Cloud application, select Scan, scroll down, select External Devices Scan:

 

Resources:

Kaspersky Security Cloud scanning the computer, External Device Scan. This option scans external devices that are connected to the computer

External Device Scan 

External Device Scan settings

Thank you🙏

Hello @molemden10,

You’re welcome!

When a external device is attached it’s automatically scanned

 

Thank you🙏

Hello @molemden10,

• In Windows Device manager, is the Pendrive recognised?
• Does the same thing happen if the USB port is changed? 
• Does the same thing happen for all external devices?
• Save the Kaspersky Security Cloud (KSC) Scan report & attach to your reply? 

 

Thank you🙏

@FLOOD I’ll test it on another system later today and report back. Thank you for your help. :)
