Kaspersky Lab Anti-Virus f/ Mac, 3u, 1Y User's Guide download pdf (Page 18)

QUICK START

One of the main goals of Kaspersky Lab specialists when they designed the application was to ensure optimum

configuration of Kaspersky Anti-Virus to provide your computer with protection immediately after the installation.

You are advised to perform the following actions after completing the installation and starting the application on your

computer:

 Activate your copy of Kaspersky Anti-Virus (see section "License management" on page 72). Using a licensed

version will let you update the application's databases on a regular basis, and access the Technical Support

Service.

 Evaluate the current protection status (see section "What is the protection status of your computer?" on

page 18), to make sure that Kaspersky Anti-Virus ensures the appropriate level of protection.

 Update Kaspersky Anti-Virus (see section "How to update the application" on page 21). Kaspersky Anti-Virus

databases should be kept up to date so that they are always ready to help detect and eliminate viruses or other

malware.

 Scan your entire computer (see section "How to Scan Your Computer for Viruses" on page 20) for viruses.

If problems or errors occur in the application's operation, please view the report (see section "Reports" on page 81),

which may indicate the cause of failure. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, please contact Kaspersky Lab's

Technical Support Service (see section "Contacting Technical Support" on page 9).

WHAT IS THE PROTECTION STATUS OF YOUR COMPUTER?

Your computer's protection status gives you a summary of your computer's overall security level. These threats include

malicious programs detected and outdated application databases, disabled File Anti-Virus, using minimum settings for

the Kaspersky Anti-Virus operation, etc.

Protection status is displayed in the main application window (see section "Main application window" on page 13) and is

depicted by the corresponding stop light color. Depending on the situation, the color scheme of the window will change,

and if any security threats are detected the color will be supplemented by informative messages.

The Traffic Light Colour can be:

 Green. This status indicates that your computer is properly protected.

This means that the databases are updated, File Anti-Virus is enabled, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is running with the

settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab, and either no malicious objects have been discovered by a virus

scan, or all detected malicious objects have been disinfected.
