How to change encrypted connections settings

Encrypted connections are established over the SSL and TLS protocols. By default, Kaspersky Total Security scans such connections upon request from protection components, such as Mail Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Safe Money, URL Advisor, Private Browsing, Web Anti-Virus, and Anti-Banner.

To change encrypted connections settings:

1. Open the main application window.
2. Click the button in the lower part of the window.

   The Settings window opens.

3. Go to the Network settings section.
4. Select an action to perform when connecting to websites over an encrypted connection:
   • Do not scan encrypted connections. The application does not scan encrypted connections.
   • Scan encrypted connections upon request from protection components. The application only scans encrypted connections upon request from URL Advisor. This action is selected by default.
   • Always scan encrypted connections. The application always scans encrypted connections.
5. Select an action to perform if there are errors when scanning encrypted connections:
   • Ignore. If this action is selected, the application terminates the connection with the website on which the scan error occurred.
