Configuring protection settings
Protection settings can be configured only in the premium version of Kaspersky Internet Security.
To configure protection settings:
- On the quick launch panel in the main window of Kaspersky Internet Security, tap Settings > Anti-Virus.
- Set the Real-time Protection mode setting to Recommended or Extended.
Extended protection mode causes higher power consumption.
- 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.
- 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.
- Select the types of files to scan in real time. Do so by selecting a value for the Type of files to scan setting.
- 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.
