The protection status indicator, which is shaped like a computer and located in the main application window, informs you about computer protection problems. Depending on the status of computer protection, the color of the indicator can change. If Kaspersky Internet Security detects any security threats, a message about threats appears in the main application window and the indicator changes color.
The indicator color can change in the following ways:
A green indicator signifies that anti-virus databases are up to date and all application components have been configured as recommended by Kaspersky. No malicious objects have been detected, or any detected malicious objects have been neutralized.
A yellow indicator signifies that Kaspersky Internet Security is aware of a problem. Such problems include, for example, minor deviations from the recommended protection preferences or slightly outdated application databases.
A red indicator signifies that there are dangerous problems that may lead to the infection of your computer and loss of data. For example, the anti-virus application databases are extremely out of date, the application is not activated, or malicious objects have been detected.
It is recommended to fix problems and deal with security threats as soon as possible.
