Checking the reputation of a file in Kaspersky Security Network

The KSN service lets you retrieve information about applications that are included in Kaspersky reputation databases. This enables flexible management of application startup policies at the company level, thereby preventing the startup of adware and other programs that can be used by criminals to damage your computer or personal data.

To check the reputation of a file in Kaspersky Security Network:

1. Right-click to bring up the context menu of the file whose reputation you want to check.
2. Select the Check reputation in KSN option.

   This option is available if you have accepted the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

   This opens the <File name> - Reputation in KSN window. The <File name> - Reputation in KSN window displays the following information about the file being checked:

   • Path. Path in which the file is saved to disk.
   • Product version. Application version (information is displayed only for executable files).
   • Digital signature. Presence of a digital signature with the file.
   • Signed. Date on which the certificate was signed with a digital signature.
   • Created. File creation date.
   • Modified. Date of last modification of the file.
   • Size. Disk space occupied by the file.
   • Information about how many users trust the file or block the file.
