About data provision

To improve operational protection, the following Kaspersky Internet Security components use the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service:

• Scan. The app additionally scans the installed apps before their first launch. This scan allows the detection of threats that have not been described in the Anti-Virus databases but in the KSN.
• Internet Protection. The app additionally scans websites before they are opened considering data received from the KSN.
• Text Anti-Phishing. The app blocks links in text messages to malicious and phishing websites considering data received from the KSN.
