CHAPTER 19. ADVANCED
OPTIONS
Kaspersky Internet Security has other features that expand its functionality.
The program places some objects in special storage areas, in order to ensure
maximum protection of data with minimum losses.
• Backup contains copies of objects that Kaspersky Internet Security has
changed or deleted (see 19.2 on pg. 238). If any object contained
information that was important to you and could not be fully recovered
during anti-virus processing, you can always restore the object from its
backup copy.
• Quarantine contains potentially infected objects that could not be
processed using the current application databases (see 19.1 on
pg. 235).
It is recommended that you periodically examine the list of stored objects. Some
of them may already be outdated, and some may have been restored.
The advanced options include a number of diverse useful features. For example:
• Technical Support provides comprehensive assistance with Kaspersky
Internet Security (cf. Section 19.10, p. 278). Kaspersky provides you
with several channels for support, including on-line support, user forum,
and Knowledge Base.
• The Notifications feature sets up user notifications about key events for
Kaspersky Internet Security (see 19.9.1 on pg. 271). These could be
either events of an informative nature, or critical errors that must be
eliminated immediately.
• Self-Defense protects the program's own files from being modified or
damaged by hackers, blocks remote administration from using the
program's features, and restricts other users on your computer from
performing certain actions in Kaspersky Internet Security (see 19.9.1.3
on pg. 274). For example, changing the level of protection can
significantly influence information security on your computer.
• Application Configuration Management stores application runtime
parameters and facilitates replication of such parameters to other
computers (cf. Section 19.9.3, p. 276), as well as recovery of default
settings (cf. Section 19.9.4, p. 277).
