Changing the web traffic security level

Web Anti-Virus applies various groups of settings to secure web traffic. Such settings groups are called web traffic security levels. There are three web traffic security levels: High, Recommended, and Low. The Recommended web traffic security level is considered the optimal setting, and is recommended by Kaspersky.

To change the web traffic security level in Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
  5. In the policy properties window, select the Web Anti-Virus section in the list on the left.
  6. In the right part of the window, in the Security level section, do one of the following:
    • If you want to install one of the pre-installed web traffic security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), use the slider to select one.
    • If you want to configure a custom web traffic security level, click the Settings button and specify settings in the Web Anti-Virus window.

      When you have configured a custom web traffic security level, the name of the security level in the Security level section changes to Custom.

    • If you want to change the web traffic security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
  7. Click the Apply button.

To change the web traffic security level in the local interface:

  1. On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Anti-Virus protection section, select Web Anti-Virus.

    In the right part of the window, the Web Anti-Virus component’s settings are displayed.

  3. In the Security level section, do one of the following:
    • If you want to install one of the pre-installed web traffic security levels (High, Recommended, or Low), use the slider to select one.
    • If you want to configure a custom web traffic security level, click the Settings button and specify settings in the Web Anti-Virus window.

      When you have configured a custom web traffic security level, the name of the security level in the Security level section changes to Custom.

    • If you want to change the web traffic security level to Recommended, click the Default button.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
