Main Program Window |
provides you with a simple and easy-to-use interface for interacting with the
program. It can be divided into three parts: - upper part of window indicates your computer‘s current protection status.
- the left part of the window, the navigation panel, can switch quickly and easily to any component, virus scan task performance, updates, or the program's help features;
- the right part of the window, the information panel, contains information in the protection component selected in the left part of the window and displays settings for each of them, giving you tools for carrying our virus scans, working with quarantined files and backup copies, managing license keys, etc.
There exist three possible protection statuses. Each of them is visually displayed by a certain color, by analogy with the traffic lights. Green color signifies that protection of your computer is performed on the right level, yellow and red colors warn about the presence of different problems in settings configuration or in Kaspersky Anti-Virus operation.
To obtain detailed troubleshooting information and speedy problem resolution, use Security Wizard which opens when the security threat notification link is clicked;

Main Window Section

Purpose |
|

The primary purpose of the Protection section is to provide access to your computer’s basic real-time protection components.
To view the status of a protection component or its modules, to configure its settings or open a relevant report, select this component from the list under Protection.
This section also contains links that provide access to the most common
tasks:
virus scan of objects and application database updates. You
can view information on the status of these tasks, configure them, or
run them.
|
| |
The Scan section provides access to virus scan tasks for objects . It shows tasks created by Kaspersky Lab experts, (virus scan of critical areas, startup objects, full host scan, rootkit scan), as well as user tasks .
When a task is selected from the right pane, relevant task information is provided, task settings may be configured, a list of objects to be scanned is generated, or the task is run. To scan a single object (file, folder, or drive), select Scan , use the right pane to add an object to the list to be scanned, and run the task . In addition, this section may be used to create a rescue disk. |
|
|
The Update section contains information on application updates : Database publication date and virus signature record count . Appropriate links may be used to start an update, view a detailed report, configure updates, roll an update back to a previous version . All user-created update tasks will be displayed in this section. |
|
|
Reports and Data Files may be used to view a detailed report on any application component, a virus scan or update task, and work with an object placed in quarantine or backup storage. |
|
|
The Activation section is used to handle keys required for the applications to be fully functional. If a key is not installed, it is recommended that it be purchased without delay and that the application be activated. If a key is installed, this section shows information on the type of key used and its expiration date. Once a current key expires, it may be renewed at the Kaspersky Lab website. |
