ID 3644

To monitor the anti-virus protection status on a client device using information logged by Network Agent, depending on the operating system of the device:

  • On the devices running Windows:
    1. Open the system registry of the client device (for example, locally, using the regedit command in the Start → Run menu).
    2. Go to the following hive:
      • For 32-bit systems:

        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\Components\34\1103\1.0.0.0\Statistics\AVState

      • For 64-bit systems:

        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyLab\Components\34\1103\1.0.0.0\Statistics\AVState

      The system registry displays information about the anti-virus protection status of the client device.

  • On the devices running Linux:
    • Information is enclosed in separate text files, one for each type of data, located at /var/opt/kaspersky/klnagent/1103/1.0.0.0/Statistics/AVState/.
  • On the devices running macOS:
    • Information is enclosed in separate text files, one for each type of data, located at /Library/Application Support/Kaspersky Lab/klnagent/Data/1103/1.0.0.0/Statistics/AVState/.

The anti-virus protection status corresponds to the values of the keys described in the table below.
