Configuring protection settings

Protection settings can be configured only in the premium version of Kaspersky Internet Security.

To configure protection settings:

  1. On the quick launch panel in the main window of Kaspersky Internet Security, tap Settings > Anti-Virus.
  2. Set the Real-time Protection mode setting to Recommended or Extended.

    Extended protection mode causes higher power consumption.

  3. Enable scanning for adware, dialers, and remote administration apps. To do so, select the Adware, auto-dialers, and other check box.

    This type of scan detects apps that can be exploited by intruders to harm users.

  4. If you have selected the extended protection mode, in the Advanced settings section tap Real-time Protection.

    If you have selected the recommended protection mode, settings in the Real-time Protection section cannot be edited.

  5. Select the types of files to scan in real time. Do so by selecting a value for the Type of files to scan setting.
  6. Select the action to be performed by the app when a threat is detected during real-time scanning. Do so by selecting a value for the Action on threat detection setting.
