Kaspersky Protection browser extension

Expand all | Collapse all

In order for Kaspersky to fully support browsers, the Kaspersky Protection extension must be installed and enabled in the browsers. The Kaspersky Protection extension injects a script into the web page opened in Protected Browser and into traffic. The application uses this script to interact with the web page and to transmit data to banks whose websites are protected by the Safe Money component. The application protects data transmitted by the script using a digital signature. The application can embed the script without using the Kaspersky Protection extension.

The application signs data transmitted by the script using the installed anti-virus databases and requests to Kaspersky Security Network. The application sends requests to Kaspersky Security Network regardless of whether or not you accepted the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

When working with your browser, the Kaspersky Protection extension allows you to:

• Manage Private Browsing
• Manage Anti-Banner
• Safe Money

If the extension is installed together with Kaspersky Free, you will only have access to the following functions:

• Inform about suspected phishing

  To report a suspected phishing website:

  1. Make sure you are on the page that you suspect is a phishing page.
  2. In the toolbar of the browser, click Kaspersky Protection.
  3. In the extension menu, select Inform about suspected phishing.
  4. This opens a window; make sure the window displays the web address of the website you suspect of phishing.
  5. Click Inform.

  Your report will be delivered to Kaspersky Security Network.

• Inform about website problem

  To inform about a website problem:

  1. Make sure you are on the page that you want to report as problematic.
  2. In the toolbar of the browser, click Kaspersky Protection.
  3. In the extension menu, select Inform about website problem.
  4. This opens a window; make sure the window displays the web address of the website.
