Step 7. Configuring Kaspersky Security Network usage

Expand all | Collapse all

You can obtain access to the reputation databases of Kaspersky Security Network to ensure faster responses by Kaspersky applications to threats, improve the effectiveness of some protection components, and reduce the risk of false positives.

Read the KSN Statement, which is displayed in the window. Specify the settings for relaying information about Kaspersky Security Center operations to the Kaspersky Security Network knowledge base. Select one of the following options:

• I agree to use Kaspersky Security Network

  Kaspersky Security Center and managed applications installed on client devices will automatically transfer their operation details to Kaspersky Security Network. Participation in Kaspersky Security Network ensures faster updates of databases containing information about viruses and other threats, which ensures a faster response to emergent security threats.

• I do not agree to use Kaspersky Security Network

  Kaspersky Security Center and managed applications will provide no information to Kaspersky Security Network.

  If you select this option, the use of Kaspersky Security Network will be disabled.

If you downloaded the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows plug-in, both KSN statements—the KSN Statement for Kaspersky Security Center and the KSN Statement for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows—are displayed. KSN statements for other managed Kaspersky applications whose plug-ins were downloaded are displayed in separate windows and you must accept (or not accept) each of the statements separately.

You can also set up Administration Server access to Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) later in the Administration Server properties window of Administration Console.
