Changing the mail security level

Mail Anti-Virus applies various groups of settings to protect mail. The settings groups are called email security levels. There are three email security levels: High, Recommended, and Low. The Recommended file security level is considered the optimal setting, and is recommended by Kaspersky.

To change the email security level:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Anti-Virus protection section, select the Mail Anti-Virus subsection.

    In the right part of the window, the settings of the Mail Anti-Virus component are displayed.

  3. In the Security level section, do one of the following:
    • If you want to install one of the pre-installed email security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), use the slider to select one.
    • If you want to configure a custom email security level, click the Settings button and specify settings in the Mail Anti-Virus window.

      After you configure a custom email security level, the name of the security level in the Security level section changes to Custom.

    • If you want to change the email security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
