Kaspersky Secure Connection

Configuring a secure connection for website categories

By default, Kaspersky Secure Connection does not establish a secure connection when you open websites in a browser. You can configure activation of a secure connection for different website categories if Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Total Security or Kaspersky Security Cloud is installed and activated on your computer. For example, you can specify that a secure connection must be enabled when you visit websites of payment systems or social networks.

To configure a secure connection for website categories:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the main application window, click the button .
3. Select the Settings item in the drop-down menu.

   The Settings window opens.

4. Click the Configure rules for websites button.

   The Rules for connection to websites window opens.

5. Select website category:
   • Banking websites. This category includes websites of banks.

   • Ask. When visiting any website in this category, the application will ask you whether a secure connection should be established for this website. In the browser window, choose the appropriate action and select the Remember my choice for this website check box. The application will perform the chosen action every time you visit this website. If the check box is not selected, the application remembers your choice for one hour.
