Kaspersky Internet Security databases are up-to-date. No malicious objects have been detected during scanning or all detected objects have been neutralized.
• Yellow. Protection of the computer is reduced. Problems have been encountered during use of Kaspersky Internet Security: for example, the application settings have been modified and do not match the recommended values, or the databases and application software modules have not been updated for several days.
• Red. There are problems that may lead to infection of the computer and loss of data. For example, some protection components have been paused or a failure has occurred in the operation of one or more protection components. The databases and application software modules may have not been updated for a long time, the application is not yet activated, or malicious objects that need to be neutralized have been detected.
