U S E R G U I D E VULNERABILITY SCAN Vulnerabilities may appear in the operating system, for example, due to programming errors, insecure passwords, or actions of malicious programs. When performing the vulnerability scan, the application refers to various security procedures, for example, examining the system, analyzing the settings of the operating system and the browser, and searching for vulnerable services. The diagnostics may take some time. When it is complete, detected problems are analyzed from the standpoint of the danger they pose to the system. After the vulnerability scan task is started (see page 48), its run progress is displayed in the Scan window (in the Vulnerability Scan section) and in the Task Manager (see section "Managing scan tasks. Task Manager" on page 72). Information about results of the vulnerability scan task run is recorded in a report of Kaspersky Internet Security (see page 167). As with virus scan tasks, you can set a startup schedule for a vulnerability scan task, create a list of objects to scan (see page 67), specify an account (see section "Running a scan under a different user account" on page 69) and create a shortcut for quick start of the task. By default, the applications already installed on the computer are selected as scan objects. MANAGING SCAN TASKS. TASK MANAGER Task Manager displays information about last scan tasks that have been run or that are currently running (for example, virus scan, vulnerability scan, rootkit scan, or advanced disinfection). You can use Task Manager to view the progress and the result of a task run, or stop a task. For some tasks, additional actions are also available (for example, on completion of vulnerability scan, you can open the list of detected vulnerabilities and fix them). To open Task Manager: 1. Open the main application window. 2. In the bottom part of the window, select the Scan section. 3. In the Scan window that opens, click the Manage Tasks button in the top right corner of the window. UPDATE Updating the databases and program modules of Kaspersky Internet Security ensures up-to-date protection for your computer. New viruses, Trojans, and other types of malware appear worldwide on a daily basis. Information about threats and ways of neutralizing them is provided by Kaspersky Internet Security databases. For timely detection of new threats, you should update databases and application modules on a regular basis. Regular updates require an active license for application usage. If no license is installed, you can perform an update only once. When performing an update, the application downloads and installs the following objects on your computer: Kaspersky Internet Security databases. Protection of information is ensured by databases containing threat signatures, descriptions of network attacks, and information about how to resist them. Protection components use this information to search for and disinfect dangerous objects on your computer. The databases are supplemented every hour with records of new threats and ways to fight them. Therefore, you are strongly advised to update databases on a regular basis. 72
A D V A N C E D A P P L I C A T I O N S E T T I N G S In addition to the Kaspersky Internet Security databases, the network drivers that enable the application's components to intercept network traffic are updated. Application modules. In addition to the Kaspersky Internet Security databases, you can also update the program modules. The updates for the application modules fix Kaspersky Internet Security's vulnerabilities and supplement or improve the existing functionality. During an update, the application modules and databases on your computer are compared with the up-to-date version at the update source. If your current databases and application modules differ from those in the current version of the application, the missing portion of the updates will be installed on your computer. If the databases are outdated, the update package may be large, which may cause additional Internet traffic (up to several dozen MB). Prior to updating the databases, Kaspersky Internet Security creates backup copies of them in case you want to return to the previous version of the databases (see section "Rolling back the last update" on page 76). Information about the current condition of Kaspersky Internet Security databases is displayed in the Update section of the main application window. Information on the update results and events which occurred during the execution of the update task is logged in a Kaspersky Internet Security report (see page 167). You can select an update source (see section "Selecting an update source" on page 73) and configure the automatic update startup.

The main update sources are the Kaspersky Lab update servers, where database updates and application module updates for all Kaspersky Lab products are stored. Your computer should be connected to the Internet for successful downloading of updates from our servers. By default, the Internet connection settings are determined automatically. If you use a proxy server, you may need to adjust the connection settings (see section "Configuring the proxy server" on page 118). When updating Kaspersky Internet Security, you can copy database and program module updates received from Kaspersky Lab servers into a local folder (see section "Updating the application from a shared folder" on page 74) and then provide access to other networked computers. This saves Internet traffic. 73
