Kaspersky Internet Security 2012

U S E R G U I D E
You can create a group of trusted applications (see page 98) for Proactive Defense. You will not be notified of the
activities of these applications.
If your computer runs under Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft
Windows Vista x64, Microsoft Windows 7, or Microsoft Windows 7 x64, control will not apply to all events. This is due to
specific features of these operating systems. For example, control will not apply fully to the sending of data through
trusted applications and suspicious system activities.

ENABLING AND DISABLING PROACTIVE DEFENSE
By default, Proactive Defense is enabled, running in a mode recommended by Kaspersky Lab specialists. You can
disable Proactive Defense if necessary.
To disable Proactive Defense:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Proactive Defense component.
3. In the right part of the window, uncheck the Enable Proactive Defense box.
CREATING A GROUP OF TRUSTED APPLICATIONS
Programs recognized by the Application Control protection component as Trusted pose no threat for the system.
However, their activities will also be monitored by Proactive Defense.
You can create a group of trusted applications exerting activity that should not be controlled by Proactive Defense. By
default, the list of trusted applications includes applications with verified digital signatures and applications that are
trusted in the Kaspersky Security Network database.
To change the settings of the trusted applications group:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Proactive Defense component.
3. In the right part of the window, in the Trusted applications section, perform the following actions:
If you want applications with verified digital signatures to be included in the group of trusted applications,
check the Applications with digital signature box.
If you want applications trusted by the Kaspersky Security Network database to be included in the group of
trusted applications, check the Trusted in Kaspersky Security Network database box.
