Kaspersky Total Security 2018

About System Changes Control

Kaspersky Total Security uses Application Manager to control the following operating system changes:

• Change of the home page address in the browser
• Change of the search engine in the browser
• Installation of plug-ins, extensions, and toolbars in the browser
• Change of the default browser
• Changes of proxy server settings

The specified list of monitored changes is minimal and guaranteed by Kaspersky Lab. The scope of monitored changes may be expanded following an update of databases and application modules.

If any application attempts to change the default browser for one of the protocols (http, ftp, https) and you allow this change to be made in the notification window, Kaspersky Total Security subsequently automatically allows this application to change the default browser for the two other protocols without showing any notifications.

Kaspersky Total Security does not monitor operating system changes and does not show the notification when the operating system changes are made by the following applications:

• Browser
• Standard tool for editing browser settings
• A standard operating system tool for changing the controlled settings, such as explorer.exe
• An application incompatible with Kaspersky Total Security if controlling or reverting changes made by this application can cause it to malfunction
• Installation wizard of the new version of Kaspersky Total Security
• An application performing the same functions as Application Manager (for example, Yandex Browser Manager)
• Applications in the style of the new Windows user interface
