Checking the connection to Kaspersky Security Network in a local interface

To check the connection to Kaspersky Security Center:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the upper part of the window, click the Kaspersky Security Network button.

   The Kaspersky Security Network window opens.

   The round KSN button in the left part of the window indicates whether KSN services are being used by Kaspersky Security:

   • If KSN services are being used by Kaspersky Security, the KSN button is green. The following information is displayed under the KSN button:
     • Enabled status
     • Type of KSN used: Private KSN or Global KSN
     • KSN mode: standard or extended KSN
     • Date of last synchronization with KSN servers

     File and web resource reputation statistics are shown in the right part of the window.

     Kaspersky Security receives statistical data on the usage of KSN services when you open the Kaspersky Security Network window. The statistics are not updated in real time.

   • If KSN services are not being used by Kaspersky Security, the KSN button is gray. The status that is shown under the KSN button reads Disabled.

     A connection to KSN servers may be absent for the following reasons:

     • Use of KSN is disabled in the Protection Server policy.
     • The application has not been activated or the license has expired.
     • The virtual machine is not connected to the Internet.
     • The KSN Proxy service is disabled in Kaspersky Security Center (please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help).
