19.9.1. Kaspersky Internet Security event
notifications
Different kinds of events occur in Kaspersky Internet Security. They can be of an
informative nature or contain important information. For example, an event can
inform you that the program has updated successfully, or can record an error in a
component that must be immediately eliminated.
To receive updates on Kaspersky Internet Security operation, you can use the
notification feature.
Notices can be delivered in several ways:
• Popup messages above the program icon in the system tray
• Sound messages
• Emails
• Logging events
To use this feature, you must:
1. Check Enable notifications under Interaction with user in the

pg. 271).
3. Configure email notification delivery settings, if that is the notification
method that is being used (see 19.9.1.2 on pg. 273).
