1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the General Settings subsection.
3. To disable automatic launch of the application, uncheck the Launch Kaspersky Internet Security at computer
startup box in the Autorun section in the right part of the window. Check this box to enable automatic launch of
the application.
LAUNCHING AND CLOSING THE APPLICATION MANUALLY
Kaspersky Lab specialists do not recommend that you stop Kaspersky Internet Security, because the protection of your
computer and personal data will then be at risk. It is recommended that you temporarily pause the computer's protection,
without closing the application.
Kaspersky Internet Security should be started manually if you have disabled automatic launch of the application (see
section "Enabling and disabling automatic launch" on page 38).
To launch the application manually,
in the Start menu, select Programs Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Kaspersky Internet Security 2012.

access the application more easily (see the operating system documentation).
