Getting started

One of the main goals of the Kaspersky Lab specialists in creating Kaspersky Internet Security was to provide the optimum configuration of all the application's settings. This makes it possible for the user with any level of computer literacy to ensure protection of his or her computer immediately after installation without spending hours on the settings.

For the user's convenience, we have brought the preliminary configuration stages together in the unified interface of the Application Setup Wizard which starts upon the completion of the application installation procedure. By following the wizard's instructions, you can activate the application, configure settings for updates, restrict access access to the program using a password and perform other settings.

Your computer can be infected with malware before the application is installed. In order to detect existing malicious programs run a computer scan.

As the result of the malware operation and system failures the settings of your computer can be corrupted. Run Security Analyzer Wizard in order to find the vulnerabilities of the installed software and anomalies of the system settings.

By the moment of the application installation databases included into the database package can become outdated. Start the updating the application feature (if it was done using the setup wizard or automatically immediately after the application is installed).

The Anti-Spam component included into the application structure uses a self-training algorithm to detect unwanted messages. Run Anti-Spam Training Wizard to configure the component to work with your correspondence.

After the completion of the actions described above the application will be ready for the operation. In order to evaluate the level of your computer protection use Security Management Wizard.
