Use Protection Center

Protection Center is a Kaspersky Internet Security feature that helps you analyze and fix problems and computer security threats, provides recommendations on how to improve the protection of your computer, and delivers the latest news and special offers from Kaspersky.

Open Protection Center

Protection Center is divided into three tabs:

• Protection. On this tab, you can find information about active threats, view the state of application databases, and find out whether any component protection is disabled.
• Recommendations. On this tab, you can find recommendations that will help you maximize your computer security.
• News. On this tab, you can find the latest news and special offers from Kaspersky.

For each problem or threat on the Protection tab, Kaspersky Internet Security suggests actions that you can perform to resolve the problem or threat. For example, if Kaspersky Internet Security detects infected files on the computer, you can click Disinfect. If the anti-virus databases are out of date, you can click Update. You can fix a problem or neutralize a threat immediately or later.

Fix a problem or neutralize a threat immediately

If you close Protection Center without neutralizing dangerous threats, the protection status indicator in the main application window remains red to remind you of these threats.
