NOTIFICATIONS
Various types of events occur when Kaspersky Anti-Virus runs. They may be of an informative nature or contain
important information. For example, an event can inform you on the successful completion of an update or can detect an
error in the operation of File Anti-Virus that should be eliminated immediately.
During Kaspersky Anti-Virus operation, the following types of events occur:
 Critical events are events of a critical importance, about which it is highly recommended to receive
notifications, since they indicate problems with Kaspersky Anti-Virus or vulnerabilities in protection of your
computer: for example, application databases corrupted or the license has expired.
 Failure – events that make Kaspersky Anti-Virus non-operable: for example, no license key and no application
databases.
 Important events are events that should be attented to, since they reflect important situations in Kaspersky
Anti-Virus operation: for example, protection disabled or computer has not been scanned for viruses for a long
time.
 Informational events are reference-type messages, which as a rule do not contain important information: for
example, all dangerous objects disinfected.
In order to keep up with the events in Kaspersky Anti-Virus operation, you can use the notification service.
Notices can be delivered in one of the following ways:
 pop-up messages on screen;
 audio message.
