To enable connection between an anti-virus program and Administration Server, you have to install Connector and Network Agent on the protected node: Connector serves to connect Kaspersky Lab programs to Administration Server via Network Agent.

Each anti-virus program installation package includes a Connector module specific for such program. Some programs do not notify the user when installing a Connector. For example, when you remotely install an anti-virus program via Kaspersky Administration Kit, the Connector will be installed by default.
Network Agent is universal for the majority of Kaspersky Lab programs for Windows OS (see the table below). Agent is included into Kaspersky Administration Kit installation package. When updating to a new version of Administration Server, you should also update the Agent version on client PCs.

Along with Connector, an anti-virus program installation package also includes a Control Plug-in for that program which serves to display settings, events and statistics of that program in the Administration Console. The plug-in is installed on the PC which has Administration Console installed on it. Plug-in is usually installed automatically when creating a program installation package, yet you can always install it manually by launching klcfginst.exe file from the anti-virus program installation package.

The table below contains information about the versions of Connector, Agent, and Plug-in which must be installed to enable remote control of corresponding anti-virus programs:
