Kaspersky PURE Release 2

The Browser Configuration Wizard analyzes Microsoft Internet Explorer settings from the perspective of security, since some settings selected by the user or set by default may cause security problems.

The Wizard checks whether the latest software updates for the browser have been installed, and whether its settings contain any potential vulnerabilities which can be used by intruders to inflict damage on your computer.

Microsoft Internet Explorer cache contains confidential data, from which can be also obtained a history of websites visited by the user. Some malware objects also scan the cache while scanning the disk, and intruders can obtain the user's email addresses. You are advised to clear the cache every time you close your browser.

The Displaying extensions for files of known formats option for Windows Explorer is to hide file extensions. Many malware objects use double extension, in which case the user can only see a part of the filename without the real extension. This scheme is often used by intruders. We recommend that you enable displaying extensions for files of known formats.
