About protection against screenshots

To protect your data when you browse protected websites, Kaspersky Total Security prevents spyware from taking unauthorized screenshots. Protection against screenshots is enabled by default. If protection has been disabled manually, you can enable it in the application settings window.

Kaspersky Total Security installed on a computer running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8.1 or Microsoft Windows 10, uses hypervisor technology to provide protection against screenshots.

On computers running on 64-bit Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8.1 or Microsoft Windows 10, the protection against screenshots that is provided by the Kaspersky Total Security hypervisor has the following limitations:

• This feature is not available when a third-party hypervisor, such as the VMware™ virtualization hypervisor, is running. After you close the third-party hypervisor, protection against screenshots becomes available again.
• The feature is not available if the CPU of your computer does not support hardware virtualization technology. For more details on whether your CPU supports hardware virtualization, please refer to the documentation shipped with your computer or to the website of the CPU manufacturer.
• The feature is not available if a third-party hypervisor (such as the VMware hypervisor) is running when you start Protected Browser.
