Changing the mail security level

The Mail Threat Protection component 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. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Essential Threat Protection section, select Mail Threat Protection.

    The settings of the Mail Threat Protection component are displayed in the right part of the window.

  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 security level, click the Settings button and enter your custom settings in the Mail Threat Protection window that opens.

      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 By default button.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
