How to send a Kaspersky Security Cloud performance report to technical support
The article refers to Kaspersky Security Cloud — Family and Kaspersky Security Cloud — Personal.
To fix some of the problems with Kaspersky Security Cloud that you can encounter, Kaspersky Lab support engineers may ask you to send the report on the application's components.
How to create a report
- In the main window of Kaspersky Security Cloud, click the support icon.
- For a guide on opening the application window, see this guide.
- In the Support window, click Support Tools.
- In the Traces section, select the trace level:
- Errors
- Important
- Recommended
- All
Your Technical Support engineer will tell you which trace level to select. If you received no instructions on which level to choose, use Recommended.
In the Support Tools window, click Enable traces.
- Reproduce the problem.
If you know which component caused an error in Kaspersky Security Cloud, we recommend that you disable all other protection components while traces are being collected. For example, if Web Anti-Virus seems to malfunction, disable all protection components except for Web Anti-Virus.
- Click the stop button.
- Close the product window.
- Restart your computer.
