Compatibility issues

Kaspersky Safe Kids is incompatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and Windows 8 style applications.

Kaspersky Safe Kids prevents data exchange over the QUIC protocol (Quick UDP Internet Connections). Browsers use a standard transport protocol (TLS or SSL) regardless of whether support for the QUIC protocol is enabled in the browser.

The firewalls can block the network traffic for Kaspersky Safe Kids. If you have a personal firewall on the computer (for example, as a component of anti-virus software), protect it with a password. The child will not be able to change firewall settings to bypass Kaspersky Safe Kids internet restrictions.
