This section describes the application's new features, and gives brief information about its individual components and
basic functions. It reveals the function of each part of the package supplied and a range of services available to
registered users of the application. This section contains hardware and software requirements which the computer must
meet for the installation of Kaspersky Internet Security.
WHAT'S NEW
The following are new in Kaspersky Internet Security:
New protection component of the System Monitor (see page 112) provides monitoring of applications activity in
the system and provides detailed information to other protection components. Due to the recoverable history of
the applications' activity, the component can roll back the results of a malicious application's actions when such
malicious activity is detected by various protection components.
Advanced functionality of the Safe Run, Safe Run for Applications (see page 154), is an isolated desktop where
you can launch suspicious applications without any harm to the main operating system.
New modules have been added to improve Internet protection:
Safe Surf (see page 106) – includes the link scanning module known from the previous version of the
application, and also may block access to insecure websites, which allows you staying in the safe Internet
zone.
Geo Security (see page 106) – allows you to grant or deny access to websites based on their belonging to
certain domains. This helps you, for example, to block access to websites which belong to regional
domains with a high risk of infection.
Application Control allows a more effective definition of applications statuses, as well as configuration of
application rules using Kaspersky Security Network data based on the statistics of Application Control operation
on many users' computers.
With the help of the Idle Scan (see page 172) module the computer may be scanned for viruses while you are
not working on it, then scanning will stop when you return to work. This allows you to perform a scan regularly
and at the same time prevents a reduction in the computer running speed when you need it.
K A S P E R S K Y IN T E R N E T S E C U R I T Y 2 0 1 1
21
The Parental Control (see page 159) functionality has been expanded: now you can control the user's access to
the computer and Internet, the launch of computer applications, restrict access to websites with undesirable
content and downloading files from the Internet, control user's communication in social networks and through
Instant Messengers, as well as view reports on the controlled user's actions. To optimize the Parental Control
configuration the module also includes an export and import option for the account with these settings.
When using Kaspersky Internet Security on a computer running under Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft
Windows 7, you can also use the Kaspersky Gadget (hereinafter gadget). Kaspersky Gadget is designed for
quick access to the main features of the application: protection status indication, virus scan of objects,
application operation reports, etc.
ENSURING YOUR COMPUTER PROTECTION
Kaspersky Internet Security provides comprehensive protection for your computer against known and emerging threats,
network attacks and phishing, spam and other unwanted 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 Internet Security up to date, you need to update the databases and software modules used by the
application. The application is updated automatically by default. However, you can always update the databases and
software modules manually, if necessary.
You can control the individual applications that are launched on your computer by using the application activity control.
The way applications access personal data is subject to special control. These data include files, folders and registry
keys, which contain the settings and important data of the most frequently used applications, as well as the user's files
(My Documents folder, cookies, information about the user's activity). When the safety of any application raises doubts,
they can be run in a safe environment.
Certain specific tasks that need to be performed occasionally can be performed with the help of advanced tools and
wizards (see section "Additional tools for better protection of your computer" on page 177), such as configuring Microsoft
Internet Explorer or erasing the traces of user activity in the system.
Protection components
The following protection components provide protection 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 Internet 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
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
Web Anti-Virus intercepts and blocks scripts on websites if they pose a threat. All web traffic is also subject to a
thorough monitoring. Additionally, the component blocks access to malicious websites.
U S E R G U I DE
22
IM Anti-Virus
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.
Proactive Defense
Proactive Defense allows detection of a new malicious program before it can perform 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 Internet 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.
Anti-Phishing
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.
Application Control
Application Control 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 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
Internet Security blocks any network activity of the attacking computer towards your computer.
Anti-Spam
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. An option to configure Anti-Spam for spam
processing (automatic removal, moving to a special folder, etc.) is also provided. The component also analyzes
email messages to detect phishing.
Network Monitor
The component is designed for viewing information about network activity in real-time.
Anti-Banner
Anti-Banner blocks advertising information located on banners built into interfaces of various programs installed on
your computer, or displayed online.
Parental Control
Parental Control functionality is designed to protect children and teenagers from threats associated with using the
computer and Internet browsing.
Parental Control allows you set flexible restrictions on access to web resources and applications for different users
depending on their age. It also lets you view statistical reports on controlled user activity.
K A S P E R S K Y IN T E R N E T S E C U R I T Y 2 0 1 1
23
There are three groups of objects protected by the application components:
Files, identity data, user names and passwords, information about bank cards, etc. These files are protected by
File Anti-Virus, Application Control and Proactive Defense.
Applications installed on your computer and operating system objects. These files are protected by Mail Anti-
Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus, Application Control, Network Attack Blocker, Anti-Spam and Proactive
Defense.
Online activity: using e-payment systems, email protection against spam, viruses etc. These files are protected
by Mail Anti-Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus, Firewall, Network Attack Blocker, Anti-Spam, Network Monitor,
Anti-Banner, Parental Control and Anti-Phishing.
The grouping of components depending on the objects they protect is graphically illustrated in the Protection Center
section in the main application window (see section "Kaspersky Internet Security main window" on page 42).

Before setup, the Setup Wizard checks the update servers of Kaspersky Lab for a newer version of Kaspersky Internet
Security.
If it does not find a newer product version on the Kaspersky Lab update servers, the Setup Wizard for the current version
will be started.
If the update servers offer a newer version of Kaspersky Internet Security, you will see a prompt to download and install it
on the computer. It is recommended that you install the new version of the application, because newer versions include
more enhancements that allow you to ensure a more reliable protection of your computer. If you cancel the new version
download, the Setup Wizard for the current version will be started. If you decide to install the newer version, product
distribution files will be downloaded to your computer and the Setup Wizard for that new version will be started
automatically. For a further description of the installation procedure for the newer version, please refer to its
corresponding documentation.
STEP 2.MAKING SURE THE SYSTEM MEETS THE INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
Before installing Kaspersky Internet Security on your computer, the installer checks your operating system and service
packs to make sure they meet the software requirements for installation (see section "Hardware and software
requirements" on page 23). In addition, the installer checks the presence of required software and the credentials
necessary to install applications. If any of the above-listed requirements is not met, the corresponding notification will be
displayed on the screen.
I N S T A L L I N G A N D R E M O V I N G T H E A P P L I C A T I O N
27
If the computer meets all the requirements, the Wizard searches for Kaspersky Lab applications, which, when run
together with Kaspersky Internet Security, may result in conflicts. If such applications are found, you are asked to remove
them manually.
If an earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus or Kaspersky Internet Security is found, all data that can be used by
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 (activation information, application settings, etc.) will be saved and used when
installing the new application while the one installed earlier will be automatically removed.
STEP 3.SELECT INSTALLATION TYPE
At this stage, you can choose the most suitable type of Kaspersky Internet Security installation:
Standard installation. If you choose this option (the Change installation settings box is unchecked), the
application will be fully installed on your computer with protection settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab
experts.
Custom installation. In this case (the Change installation settings box is checked) you will be asked to specify
the destination folder to which the application will be installed (see section "Step 7. Selecting the destination
folder" on page 28), and disable the installation process protection, if required (see section "Step 8. Preparing
installation" on page 28).
To proceed with the installation, click the Next button.
STEP 4.REVIEWING THE LICENSE AGREEMENT
At this stage, you should review the license agreement made between you and Kaspersky Lab.
Read the agreement carefully and give your consent by clicking the I agree button. The installation will continue.
If you cannot accept the license agreement, cancel the application installation by clicking the Cancel button.
STEP 5.KASPERSKY SECURITY NETWORK DATA COLLECTION
STATEMENT
At this stage, you will be invited to participate in the Kaspersky Security Network. Participation in the program involves
sending information about new threats detected on your computer, running applications, downloaded signed applications
to Kaspersky Lab and your system information. We guarantee that none of your personal data will be sent.
Review the Kaspersky Security Network Data Collection Statement. To read the complete version of the Statement, click
the Full KSN agreement button. If you agree with all terms of the Statement, check the I accept the terms of participation in Kaspersky Security Network box in the Wizard window.
Click the Next button when carrying out the custom installation (see section "Step 3. Select installation type" on
page 27). When performing the standard installation, click the Install button. The installation will continue.
STEP 6.SEARCHING FOR INCOMPATIBLE APPLICATIONS
At this step, the application checks whether any applications incompatible with Kaspersky Internet Security are installed
on your computer.
If no such applications are found, the Wizard automatically proceeds to the next step.
If any incompatible applications are detected, they are displayed in a list on the screen, and you are offered to remove
them. Applications that Kaspersky Internet Security cannot remove automatically should be removed manually. While
removing incompatible applications, you will need to reboot your operating system, after which installation of Kaspersky

STEP 7.SELECTING THE DESTINATION FOLDER
This step of the Setup Wizard is only available if the custom installation is selected (see section "Step 3. Select
installation type" on page 27). When carrying out the standard installation, this step is skipped and the application is
installed to the default folder.
At this stage you are asked to choose the folder to which Kaspersky Internet Security will be installed. The following path
is set by default:
<disk>\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 – for 32-bit systems;
<disk>\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 – for 64-bit systems.
To install Kaspersky Internet Security to a different folder, specify the path to the required folder in the input field or click
the Browse button and choose a folder in the window that opens.
Keep in mind the following restrictions:
The application cannot be installed on network or removable drives, or on virtual drives (drives created using the
SUBST command).
We recommend that you avoid installing the application in a folder that already contain files or other folders,
because access to that folder for editing will soon be blocked.
The path to the installation folder cannot be longer than 160 characters or contain special characters
/, ?, :, *, ", >, < and |.
To find out if there is enough disk space on your computer to install the application, click the Volume button. In the
window that opens you can view the disk space information. To close the window, click OK.
To proceed with the installation, click the Next button in the Wizard window.
STEP 8.PREPARING INSTALLATION
This step of the Setup Wizard is only available if the custom installation is selected (see section "Step 3. Select
installation type" on page 27). In the case of the standard installation, this step is skipped.
Since your computer may be infected with malicious programs that may impact the installation of Kaspersky Internet
Security, the installation process should be protected.
By default, installation process protection is enabled – the Protect the installation process box is checked in the
Wizard window.
You are advised to uncheck this box if the application cannot be installed (for example, when performing remote
installation using Windows Remote Desktop). Enabled protection may be the reason.
In this case, you should interrupt the installation, restart it, check the Change installation settings box at the Select
installation type step (see section "Step 3. Select installation type" on page 27), and, when reaching the Preparing
installation step, uncheck the Protect the installation process box.
To proceed with the installation, click the Install button.
When installing the application on a computer running under Microsoft Windows XP, active network connections are
terminated. The majority of terminated connections are restored after a pause.

STEP 9.INSTALLING
Installation of the application can take some time. Wait for it to complete.
Once the installation is complete, the Wizard will automatically proceed to the next step.
If an installation error occurs, due to malicious programs that prevent anti-virus applications from being installed on your
computer, the Setup Wizard will prompt you to download Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool utility, a special tool for
neutralizing an infection.
If you agree to install the utility tool, the Setup Wizard downloads it from Kaspersky Lab servers, after which installation
of the utility starts automatically. If the Wizard cannot download the utility, you will be asked to download it on your own
by clicking the link provided.
After you finish working with the utility, you should delete it and restart the installation of Kaspersky Internet Security.
STEP 10.ACTIVATING THE APPLICATION
Activation is the procedure of activating a license that allows you to use a fully functional version of the application until
the license expires.
You will need an Internet connection to activate the application.
You will be offered the following options of Kaspersky Internet Security activation:
Activate commercial version. Select this option and enter the activation code (see section "About activation
code" on page 38) if you have purchased a commercial version of the application.
If you specify an activation code for Kaspersky Anti-Virus in the entry field, the procedure of switching to
Kaspersky Anti-Virus starts after the completion of activation.
Activate trial version. Use this activation option if you want to install the trial version of the application before
making the decision to purchase a commercial version. You will be able to use the fully-functional version of the
application for the duration of a term limited by the license for the trial version of the application. When the
license expires, it cannot be activated for a second time.
Activate later. If you choose this option, the Kaspersky Internet Security activation stage is skipped. The
application will be installed on your computer with the availability of all its functions, except updates. You will
only be able to update anti-virus databases and modules of Kaspersky Internet Security once after installation.
The Activate later option is only available at the first start of the Activation Wizard, immediately after installing
the application.
STEP 11.REGISTERING A USER
This step is only available when activating the commercial version of the application. When activating the trial version,
this step is skipped.
You need to register in order to be able to contact Kaspersky Lab Technical Support Service in the future.
If you agree to register, specify your registration data in the corresponding fields and click the Next button.

STEP 12.COMPLETING THE ACTIVATION
The Wizard informs you that Kaspersky Internet Security has been successfully activated. Additionally, information about
the license is provided: license type (commercial or trial), date of expiry, and number of hosts for the license.
If you have activated the subscription, information about the subscription status (see section "Subscription statuses" on
page 199) is displayed instead of the license expiration date.
Click the Next button to proceed with the Wizard.
STEP 13.SYSTEM ANALYSIS
At this stage, information about Microsoft Windows applications is collected. These applications are added to the list of
trusted applications which have no restrictions imposed on the actions they perform in respect of the system.
Once the analysis is complete, the Wizard will automatically proceed to the next step.
STEP 14.WIZARD COMPLETION
The last window of the Wizard informs you of the successful completion of the application installation. To run Kaspersky
Internet Security, make sure that the Start Kaspersky Internet Security box is checked, and click the Finish button.
In some cases, you may need to reboot your operating system. If the Start Kaspersky Internet Security box is
checked, the application will be automatically run after you reboot your operating system.
If you have unchecked the box before closing the Wizard, you should run the application manually (see section "Starting
and stopping the application manually" on page 48).
UPDATING THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF KASPERSKY
INTERNET SECURITY
If Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 is already installed on your computer, you should update the application to
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. If you have an active license for Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, you will not have to
activate the application: the Installation Wizard will automatically receive the information about your license for Kaspersky
Internet Security 2010 to use it during the installation process.
Kaspersky Internet Security will be installed on your computer in an interactive mode using the Setup Wizard.
The Wizard consists of a series of screens (steps) navigated using the Back and Next buttons. To close the Wizard once
it has completed its task, click the Finish button. To stop the Wizard at any stage, click the Cancel button.
If the application will be used to protect more than one computer, it should be installed on all computers in the same way.
Note that in this case, according to the license agreement, the license term begins from the date of the first activation.
To install Kaspersky Internet Security on your computer,
run the setup file (a file with the *.exe extension) from the CD with the product.
Installation of Kaspersky Internet Security from a setup file downloaded online is identical to that from the installation
CD.
