How to apply the application settings on another computer

After you have configured the application, you can apply its settings to a copy of Kaspersky Anti-Virus that is installed on another computer. As a result, the application will be configured identically on both computers.

The application settings are saved in a configuration file that you can move from one computer to another.

The settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus are moved from one computer to another in three steps:

  1. Save the application settings to configuration file.
  2. Move the configuration file to the other computer (for example, by email or on a removable drive).
  3. Import the settings from the configuration file to the application copy that is installed on the other computer.

To export the application settings:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. Click the Settings button button in the lower part of the window.

    The Settings window opens.

  3. In the Settings window, select the General section.
  4. In the Manage Settings drop-down list, select Export settings.
  5. The Save as window opens.
  6. Specify a name for the configuration file and click the Save button.

The application settings are now saved in the configuration file.

You can also export the application settings at the command prompt, by using the following command: avp.com EXPORT <file_name>.

To import settings into a copy of the application installed on another computer:

  1. On the other computer, open the main application window of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
  2. Click the Settings button button in the lower part of the window.

    The Settings window opens.

  3. In the Settings window, select the General section.
  4. In the Manage Settings drop-down list, select Import settings.

    The Open window opens.

The settings are imported to the application that is installed on the other computer.
