Opening a bank website in Protected Browser

To open a bank's website in Protected Browser, do one of the following:

• In the taskbar notification area, in the context menu of the application icon, select a bank whose website you want to visit.
• Start your browser in normal mode. In the address bar, specify the URL of the bank's website.

  In this case, whether or not the bank's website opens in Protected Browser depends on the settings specified by the bank.

• Open the bank website by double-clicking the bank shortcut on the desktop.
• In the My bank section of the main application window, click the link with the bank's name.

The bank's website opens in Protected Browser specified in the application settings.

The Microsoft Edge browser does not support Protected Browser mode. Internet Explorer or the browser specified in application settings opens instead.

When you open a website in Protected Browser, Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints checks the security of the connection to the website, after which a frame appears around the browser window. The color of the frame indicates the result of checks and the protection status.

The application does not verify the connection to websites of unlicensed banks.

The frame of the browser window can display the following color indications:

• Green frame. Signifies that all checks have been performed successfully. You can continue using Protected Browser.
• Yellow frame. Signifies that checks have revealed security problems that need to be resolved.

  If you do not eliminate the threats detected, the security of the bank or payment system website connection session is not guaranteed. Events involving the launch and use of Protected Browser with reduced protection are recorded in the Windows event log.

  The yellow color of the frame may also signify that Protected Browser cannot be started due to technical limitations. For example, a third-party hypervisor is running or your computer does not support hardware virtualization technology.

The following errors may occur when checking a website:

• The certificate of a website has been mistakenly identified as invalid. If Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints has identified the certificate of a website as invalid but you are sure that the website certificate is valid, you can continue accessing the website. To do so, open the website by clicking the link I understand the risks and wish to continue. The link appears in a Protected Browser window.
• A website has been mistakenly identified as a phishing website. If Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints has identified a website as a phishing website but you are sure that the website is safe, you must contact Technical Support.

When an attempt is made in the Protected Browser window to visit the website of an online banking system that is not covered by a Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints license, the requested website opens in a new window of a browser started in regular mode. A message saying that the requested web page has been opened in a different browser window is displayed in the Protected Browser window.
