In order for Kaspersky Internet Security to fully support browsers, the Kaspersky Protection extension has to be installed and enabled in browsers. Kaspersky Internet Security uses the Kaspersky Protection extension to embed 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. Kaspersky Internet Security can embed the script without using the Kaspersky Protection extension.
Kaspersky Internet Security 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.
Installing the Kaspersky Protection extension in Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome
The Kaspersky Protection extension is not automatically installed in Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. If the Kaspersky Protection extension is not installed in the browser, the application prompts you to go to the extensions download page and manually install Kaspersky Protection when the browser is started.
Yandex Browser support
When using Yandex Browser, the following application components are operating:
- Protected Browser
- URL Advisor
- Web Anti-Virus
- Anti-Phishing
The Private Browsing and Anti-Banner components operate but cannot be configured in Yandex Browser.
Internet Explorer support
Starting with Kaspersky Internet Security 2021, the Kaspersky Protection extension will no longer support the browser Internet Explorer. If you want to continue using the Kaspersky Protection extension in Internet Explorer, you can go back to the previous version of the application.
