Assign

Assign an Antivirus configuration profile to selected machines.

Scan

Schedules an Antivirus scan on selected machines.

  • Start Date - The start date of the scan.
  • Time - The start time of the scan.
  • Distribution Window - Reschedules the task to a randomly selected time no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.

There are two types of scan:

  • Full Scan - A thorough scan of the entire system. The following objects are scanned by default: system memory, programs loaded on startup, system backup, email databases, hard drives, removable storage media and network drives.
  • Quick Scan - Virus scan of operating system startup objects.

Update

Schedules an update on selected machines with the latest Antivirus definitions.

  • Start Date - The start date of the update.
  • Time - The start time of the update.
  • Distribution Window - Reschedules the task to a randomly selected time no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.

Install

  • Install - Installs the Antivirus client on selected machines.
  • Uninstall - Uninstalls the Antivirus client on selected machines.

    Note: If you uninstall the Antivirus client manually from the managed machine, you are prompted for a password. The password is KaseyaUninstall.

  • Verify - Installs a Antivirus client when the Kaseya Antivirus version of Kaspersky is already present on a managed machine.

    Verify can also be used to associate the Antivirus client to a new VSA server. This eliminates the need to uninstall and redeploy Antivirus on the workstation. For example, use Verify when migrating from one VSA server to another or when deploying Antivirus manually due to low bandwidth constraints.

    Note: Antivirus uses a custom build of Kaspersky Antivirus. Verify cannot be used to convert a retail version of Kaspersky Antivirus to the Kaseya custom build of Kaspersky Antivirus. Additionally, every manual installation must use the Kaspersky installer and setup file located in \VSAHiddenFiles\kav\, and must set the API and uninstall passwords. Failure to do so renders Antivirus updates and configuration changes inoperable. Contact support for more information on how to perform a manual installation.

Auto Extend

Enables and disables Auto-Extend for machines installed with Antivirus. Displays the total number of licenses purchased and expired, and the number of full and partial licenses available.

When Auto-Extend is enabled and a Antivirus license expires, a new, full license is pulled from your license pool automatically. This ensures the endpoint does not go without antimalware protection at any point, as long as you have available licenses. Auto-Extend always uses a full license.

In the event you uninstall Antivirus from an endpoint, that license goes into a partial license pool. When Antivirus is deployed to a new endpoint, Kaseya License Manager always checks the partial license pool first. If a partial license is available, the partial license is used on the endpoint with the new install. If no partial licenses are available, Kaseya uses a full Antivirus license.

Licenses begin their clock ticking on the first day they are installed. If uninstalled, the clock continues to tick on that license. By deploying these partial licenses for new installations of Antivirus, you can get the most out of each 1-year license.

Protection

  • Get Status - Returns the enable/disabled status of Antivirus components on a machine and, if necessary, corrects the display of the component status icons in the Explorer Grid.
  • Temporarily Enable - Re-enables Antivirus protection on selected machines.
  • Temporarily Disable - Disables Antivirus protection on selected machines. Some software installations require Antivirus software be disabled to complete the install.
