How to pause and resume computer protection
Pausing protection means temporarily disabling all protection components for some time.
When protection is paused or the Kaspersky application is not running, the activity of the applications running on your computer is monitored. Information about the results of monitoring of application activity is saved in the operating system. When the Kaspersky application is started again or protection is resumed, the application uses this information to protect your computer from malicious actions that may have been performed when protection was paused or when the Kaspersky application was not running. Information about the results of monitoring of application activity is stored indefinitely. This information is deleted if the Kaspersky application is removed from your computer.
To pause computer protection:
- In the context menu of Kaspersky icon located in the taskbar notification area, select the Pause protection item.
The Pause protection window opens.
- In the Pause protection window, select the time interval after which protection will be resumed:
- Pause for – protection is enabled after expiration of the time interval selected from the drop-down list.
- Pause until application restart – protection is enabled after the application is started again or the operating system is restarted (if the application automatically starts on startup).
- Pause – protection will be resumed when you decide to resume it.
- Click the Pause protection button and confirm your choice in the window that opens.
How to resume computer protection
To resume computer protection:
In the taskbar notification area, in the context menu of Kaspersky icon, select Resume protection.
