Proactive Defense allows to detect a new malicious program before it performs its malicious activity. The
component's operation is based on monitoring and analyzing the behavior of all applications installed on your
computer. Depending on the actions being performed, Kaspersky Small Office Security makes a decision whether
the application is potentially dangerous or not. So your computer is protected not only from known viruses, but also
from new ones that have not yet been discovered.
Security Zone (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
Security Zone logs the actions performed by applications in the system, and manages the applications' activities,
based on which group the component assigns them to. A set of rules is defined for each group of applications.
These rules manage the applications' access to various operating system resources.
Firewall
The Firewall ensures security for your work in local networks and on the Internet. The component filters all network
activities using two types of rule: rules for applications and packet rules.
Network Monitor
The component is designed for viewing information about network activity in real-time.
Network Attack Blocker
The Network Attack Blocker loads during the operating system launch, and scans incoming network traffic for
activities characteristic of network attacks. As soon as an attempt to attack the computer is detected, Kaspersky
Small Office Security blocks any network activity of the attacking computer towards your computer.
Anti-Spam (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
Anti-Spam integrates into the mail client installed on your computer, and monitors all incoming email messages for
spam. All messages containing spam are marked with a special header. The option of configuring Anti-Spam for
spam processing (deleting automatically, moving to a special folder, etc.) is also provided.
Anti-Phishing (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
A component integrated in Web Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and IM Anti-Virus, which checks web addresses to see if they
are included in the list of phishing and suspicious web addresses.
Anti-Banner (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
Anti-Banner blocks advertising information located on banners built into interfaces of various programs installed on
your computer, or displayed online.
Data protection
The Backup, Data Encryption and Password Manager functions are designed to protect data against loss, unauthorized
access and theft.
Backup
Data stored on a computer can be lost due to various issues, such as impact of a virus, information modification or
deletion by another user, etc. To avoid losing important information, you should regularly back up data.
The Backup function creates backup copies of objects in a special storage on the selected device. To do so, you
should configure backup tasks. After running the task manually or automatically, according to a schedule, backup
copies of selected files are created in the storage. If necessary, the required version of the saved file can be
restored from the backup copy. Thus, regular backup ensures additional security of data.
