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. You can select one of the pre-installed email security levels or configure a custom email security level. If you have changed the email security level settings, you can always revert to the recommended email security level settings.

To change the email security level:

1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
2. In the application settings window, select Essential Threat Protection → Mail Threat Protection.
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. Save your changes.
