Participate in Kaspersky Security Network
To increase the reliability of protection on your computer, Kaspersky Internet Security uses data provided by users from all over the world. A network named Kaspersky Security Network is designed to analyze such data.
Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of cloud services that provides access to the online Kaspersky Lab Knowledge Base, which contains information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. Use of data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures a faster response time for Kaspersky Internet Security when encountering new types of threats, improves performance of some protection components, and reduces the risk of false positives.
Users participating in Kaspersky Security Network provide Kaspersky Lab with information about the types and sources of new threats, which helps Kaspersky Lab to find new ways of neutralizing them, and minimize the number of false positives.
In addition, participation in Kaspersky Security Network provides you with access to information about the reputation of various applications and websites.
When you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, statistics regarding protection of your computer by Kaspersky Internet Security are sent to Kaspersky Lab automatically.
Note: No personal data is collected, processed, or stored.
Participation in Kaspersky Security Network is voluntary. The decision on whether or not to participate is made when you install Kaspersky Internet Security. However, you can change your decision later at any time.
