MAIN APPLICATION COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
Kaspersky Small Office Security provides all-inclusive protection for your office network. All-inclusive protection means
computer protection, data protection and user protection, as well as remote management of Kaspersky Small Office
Security on all network computers.
Kaspersky Small Office Security incorporates various functional modules to perform all-inclusive protection tasks.
Computer Protection
Protection components are designed to protect the computer against known and new threats, network and hacker
attacks, and spam and other unsolicited information. Every type of threat is handled by an individual protection
component (see the description of components in this section). Components can be enabled or disabled independently
of one another and configured accordingly.
In addition to the constant protection provided by the security components, we recommend that you regularly scan your
computer for viruses. This is necessary in order to rule out the possibility of spreading malicious programs that have not
been discovered by protection components, for example, because of a low security level set, or for other reasons.
To keep Kaspersky Small Office Security up to date, you need to update the databases and software modules used by
the application.
When the safety of any application raises doubts, they can be run in a safe environment (only in Kaspersky Small Office
Security 2 for Personal Computer).
Certain specific tasks that need to be performed occasionally can be performed with the help of additional tools and
wizards, such as configuring Microsoft Internet Explorer or erasing the traces of user activity in the system.
The following protection components provide defense for your computer in real time:
File Anti-Virus
File Anti-Virus prevents infection of the computer's file system. The component starts upon startup of the operating
system, continuously remains in the computer's RAM, and scans all files being opened, saved, or launched on your
computer and all connected drives. Kaspersky Small Office Security intercepts each attempt to access a file and
scans the file for known viruses. The file can only be processed further if the file is not infected or is successfully
treated by the application. If a file cannot be disinfected for any reason, it will be deleted. A copy of the file will be
saved in Backup, or moved to Quarantine.
Mail Anti-Virus (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
Mail Anti-Virus scans incoming and outgoing email messages on your computer. The email is available to the
addressee only if it does not contain dangerous objects.
Web Anti-Virus (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
Web Anti-Virus intercepts and blocks scripts on websites if they pose a threat. All web traffic is also subject to
monitoring. Additionally, the component blocks access to malicious websites.
IM Anti-Virus (only in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer)
IM Anti-Virus ensures the safe use of instant messengers. The component protects information that comes to your
computer via IM protocols. IM Anti-Virus ensures safe operation of various applications for instant messaging.
