To protect your computer more effectively, Kaspersky Security uses data that is collected from users around the globe. Kaspersky Security Network is designed to collect such data.
Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of cloud services providing access to the Kaspersky Lab online knowledge base that contains information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. The use of data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures faster responses by Kaspersky Lab applications to threats, improves the effectiveness of some protection components, and reduces the risk of false positives.
Thanks to your participation in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky Lab is able to promptly gather information about types and sources of threats, develop solutions for neutralizing them, and process spam messages with a high level of accuracy.
If you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, certain statistics are collected while Kaspersky Security is running and are automatically sent to Kaspersky Lab. Also, additional checking at Kaspersky Lab may require sending files (or parts of files) that are imposed to an increased risk of being exploited by intruders to do harm to the user's computer or data.
You can enable or disable Kaspersky Security Network for Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam.
Participation in Kaspersky Security Network is voluntary. You can opt out of participating in Kaspersky Security Network at any time. No personal data of the user is collected, processed, or stored. Any information about data that the application sends to Kaspersky Lab can be obtained through the KSN Statement.
