Kaspersky Protection browser extension

In order for Kaspersky Small Office Security to fully support browsers, the Kaspersky Protection extension must be installed and enabled in the browsers. The Kaspersky Protection extension injects a script into the web page opened in Protected Browser and into traffic. The application uses this script to interact with the web page and to transmit data to banks whose websites are protected by the Safe Money component. The application protects data transmitted by the script using a digital signature. The application can embed the script without using the Kaspersky Protection extension.

The application signs data transmitted by the script using the installed anti-virus databases and requests to Kaspersky Security Network. The application sends requests to Kaspersky Security Network regardless of whether or not you accepted the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

When working with your browser, the Kaspersky Protection extension allows you to:

Manage Private Browsing.

Manage Anti-Banner.

Inform about suspected phishing.

Inform about website problem

Open On-Screen Keyboard

Installing the Kaspersky Protection extension in Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome

In Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, the Kaspersky Protection extension is installed automatically. Kaspersky Small Office Security prompts you to activate the extension. In the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser, the Kaspersky Protection extension is also installed automatically, but the application does not prompt you to activate the extension. You must take steps to activate the extension on your own.

Yandex Browser support

When using Yandex Browser, the following application components are operating:

• Protected Browser;
• URL Advisor
• Safe Browsing;
• Anti-Phishing.

The Private Browsing and Anti-Banner components operate but cannot be configured in Yandex Browser.

Internet Explorer support

Starting with Kaspersky Small Office Security 8, the Kaspersky Protection extension will no longer support the browser Internet Explorer. If you want to continue using the Kaspersky Protection extension in Internet Explorer, you can go back to the previous version of the application.
