ENABLING AND DISABLING THE CHECKING OF URLS
To enable URL checks using the databases of suspicious web addresses and phishing addresses:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Web Anti-Virus component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
The Web Anti-Virus window opens.

database of suspicious URLs and Check web pages for phishing boxes.
USING KASPERSKY URL ADVISOR
Kaspersky URL Advisor is integrated into Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome as a plug-in.
Kaspersky URL Advisor checks all URLs on a web page to find out if they are included in the list of suspicious URLs. It
also checks them for phishing, highlighting each one in the browser window.
You can create a list of websites, on which all URLs should be checked, check URLs on all websites except those
included in the list of exclusions, check URLs in search results only, or specify categories of websites with URLs that
should be checked.
Not only can you configure Kaspersky URL Advisor in the application settings window, but also in the Kaspersky URL
Advisor settings window, which is available from your web browser.
To specify websites, on which all URLs should be checked:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Web Anti-Virus component.
3. Click the Settings button in the right part of the window.
4. The Web Anti-Virus window opens.
5. On the Safe Surf tab, in the Kaspersky URL Advisor section, check the Check URLs box.
6. Select the websites on which the links need to be scanned:
a. If you want to create a list of websites, on which all URLs should be checked, select Only websites from
the list and click the Specify button. In the Checked URLs window that opens, create a list of websites to
be checked.
b. If you want to check URLs on all websites except those specified, select All but the exclusions and click
the Exclusions button. In the Exclusions window that opens, create a list of websites that do not need any
check of URLs on them.
