CHAPTER 4. KASPERSKY
DATASAFE FOR POCKET PC
Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC is designed to secure information, stored on PDAs running the Pocket PC operating system, against unsanctioned access and viewing. The protection is implemented through data encryption.
Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC will:
Create special encrypted files in the PDA’s memory for storing confi-
dential information. A special “mounting” procedure is used to write more information to an encrypted file or access encrypted data.
Open encrypted files created on other PDAs. If you know the password
for an encrypted file that was created on another PDA, you can copy this file to your PDA, open it, and then handle it as a file created on your PDA.
Mount encrypted files as volumes to view information stored in them.
Mounting requires password-based authentication. In the file structure of your PDA, mounted volumes are handled in the same way as memory cards and network drives. Mounted volumes can be treated as normal folders: their contents can be saved and modified.
Disconnect (Unmount) mounted volumes. After you finish working with
data on a mounted volume, you are advised to unmount it from the PDA file structure. Your data will be encrypted and access to it will be impossi­ble without knowing the file's password.
4.1. Starting the application
To launch Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC:
On the taskbar of your PDA, click Start, point to Programs, and then se­lect Kaspersky Security. The application main window will open (see Figure 11).

Figure 14. Create Volume screen.
Encryption tab
Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC 27
4.4. Opening an encrypted file
You can open encrypted files and mount them as volumes, even if these files were created on other PDAs using Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC.
To open an encrypted file created on another handheld device:
1. Launch Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC. Select Open either in the file shortcut menu or the File menu of the main window (FileOpen).
2. In the next screen, select the file you want to open. By default, the list contains all encrypted files located in the My Documents folder.
3. The encrypted file will be added to the list of encrypted files in the application main window.
After this, you will be able to perform the following operations on this file: change file settings, edit the password, mount the file as a volume, and unmount it.
4.5. Mounting encrypted files as volumes
To mount a file means to map an encrypted volume from this file so that you can handle this volume as a PDA memory card. Mounted volumes are located in the My Device folder, regardless of the original location of the encrypted file. The contents of the encrypted file can be accessed only after this file has been mounted as a volume.
In the list of encrypted files, all mounted files are marked with the
encrypted files that are currently unavailable are marked with the access an unavailable file, you should mount it as a volume.
To mount an encrypted file:

You can also use File Explorer to select an encrypted file.
3. In the Mount Volume screen (see Figure 15) enter the name of the encrypted file and its password. Click ОК.
Figure 15. Mount Volume screen
4. If the file is mounted as a volume for the first time, you will be prompted to format the volume after creation. You are advised to select Yes. If you proceed without formatting, Kaspersky DataSafe will be unable to write information to the mounted volume.
5. The mounted volume will be listed among other folders in the My Device directory.
You can store any files on the mounted volume and work with them transparently using other applications installed on your handheld device. All these files will be encrypted “on-the-fly”: Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC will decrypt the files when you access them and re-encrypt them when you save changes. The operation of Kaspersky DataSafe has virtually no impact upon system performance; however, the speed of encryption does depend upon the encryption algorithm selected by the user.
The only operation applicable to mounted volumes is unmounting (see section 4.6 on page 29). Using Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC, other actions on a mounted volume (for example, edit the password, view volume settings, or delete it from the list) cannot be performed.
Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC 29
4.6. Unmounting a volume
To secure the information contained in an encrypted file, you should unmount the corresponding volume after you finish working with the volume contents. The unmounted volume disappears from the PDA’s file structure, and the information stored in the encrypted file becomes inaccessible.
To unmount a volume:
1. Launch Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC. In the list of encrypted files, select a volume you want to unmount.
2. Select the Unmount option either in the shortcut menu of the selected file or in the main menu (VolumeUnmount).
When the time-out for automatic unmounting is set, the volume will be unmounted if it has not been accessed during the specified period (see section 4.3 on page 26).
An unmounted volume will disappear from the list of folders of the PDA file structure. The data contained in the corresponding encrypted file can be accessed only when this file is mounted as a volume again.
4.7. Editing encrypted file settings
You can change the settings of encrypted files that are not yet mounted as volumes.
For files mounted as volumes, you can only view current settings. To modify the settings, you should unmount the volume first.
To edit the settings of an encrypted file:
1. Launch Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC. In the list of encrypted files, select a file that is not mounted as a volume yet.
2. Select the Properties option from either the file shortcut menu or the main menu (VolumeProperties).
3. In the new screen, edit the required settings (for example, change the time-out period for unmounting the file). Click ОК to save changes.
30 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
4.8. Changing a password
During the creation of an encrypted file, you always set a password used to access this file (see section 4.3 on page 26). The password can be changed if the encrypted file is not currently mounted as a volume.

o Get update and install it later – retrieve updates from the
Internet and upload them to your PDA as often as defined in the Updates rate field: daily, weekly, once every two weeks, monthly, or once every two months.
6.5. Real-time protection of your handheld device
In real-time protection mode, the application resides in your PDA’s memory, scanning objects for viruses in the background.
Real-time protection is not available if the license key is either not in­stalled or invalid.
Real-time protection remains active from the moment the operating system boots to the moment the device shuts down.
Depending on the settings (see section 6.3 on page 36), real-time scans for viruses are performed at the following times:
During data transfer using HotSync and Beam (for Palm OS 3.x and 4.x) technologies;
During data transfer using available technologies (HotSync, Beam, or Bluetooth) (for Palm OS 5.x);
When a memory card is inserted;
When any application is called (for Palm OS 5.x).
When Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects an infected object, it will take the action specified in the Anti-Virus configuration screen (see section 6.3 on page 36). If you have configured the application to Display disinfect dialog, a warning
42 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
about detecting an infected object will open and you will be asked about future actions.
If an infected object has been detected during the launch of a program (only for Palm OS 5.x), the user will always be prompted to specify future actions (see section 6.5.2 on page 42).
6.5.1. Scanning data transferred via HotSync and Beam
By default, in real-time mode Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all objects transferred via HotSync and Beam technologies.
You can enable / disable these real-time scans in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus configuration screen (see section 6.3 on page 36).
While scanning the objects transferred by means of HotSync, Kaspersky Anti­Virus analyzes only new or modified data.
If the latest anti-virus database is copied from a PC to your PDA along with other objects, the new database will be installed after synchroniza­tion and used for later scans. If, during synchronization of your PDA by means of HotSync, the execu­table module KAVP.PRC is transferred along with other objects, the application will not scan the module or the data. If the module is in­fected with a virus, the application will detect it during the next scan but will be unable to disinfect or delete it, because the module is a part of Kaspersky Anti-Virus. In this case, use standard tools to remove the module from your PDA.
When files are beamed from other Palm-based PDA by means of Beam technology, the application will scan them immediately after they are copied.
6.5.2. Intercepting malicious software during program launch
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is capable of detecting viruses when any applica­tion is called only on PDAs running Palm OS 5.x.
If Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects an infected object while a program is launching, the Infected object screen will open (see Figure 1), regardless of the action specified in the Configuration screen (see section 6.3 on page 36). The
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS 43
Infected object screen contains the name of the infected file, the virus name, and the following possible actions:
Report only - no action will be performed on the infected object; the ap-
plication will only log its detection.
Delete on Reset – your PDA will be rebooted and the infected program
will be replaced with a “stub” program. The program name and location will not change. When you run the “stubbed” program, a message ap­pears indicating that the original program has been removed, and prompt­ing you to remove the program be means of a standard procedure.
Figure 1. Detecting a virus upon application startup
KAVStub, a “stub” program, is included in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS (version 5.x) and is located in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus group. Running the “stub” program will display a message that it is a part of Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
6.6. Starting an on-demand scan
In on-demand scanning mode, the application scans for the presence of viruses only at the user’s request.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus can perform a full scan of your PDA, including objects stored both in PDA built-in memory and on memory cards.
To launch an on-demand scan of your PDA:
1. Run Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS.
2. Define objects for scanning in the drop-down list of the application main window (see Figure 19):
o Main memory only – scan only the PDA’s built-it memory;
44 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
o Memory card only – scan only memory cards currently con-
nected to your PDA;
o Main memory & card – scan both the main memory and all
memory cards.
3. Click Scan to start scanning the selected objects.
Scanning progress is displayed by a special screen. When Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects an infected object, it will take the action specified in the Configuration screen (see section 6.3 on page 36). If the specified action is Display disinfect dialog, a warning about detecting an infected object will open and you will need to select future actions.
After the scan completes, a scan summary will be displayed in a separate screen (see Figure 23).

CHAPTER 7. KASPERSKY
DATASAFE FOR PALM OS
Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS does not support Palm OS 5.х; there­fore, this application cannot be installed on PDAs running this operating system.
Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS is designed to secure information stored on a PDA running Palm OS against unsanctioned access and viewing.
Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS has the following main features:
Blocks access to your PDA either manually (at specified time) or after
the device is turned off. To unlock a handheld device, a password is re­quired.
Data encryption: all data stored on the handheld device is stored in en-
crypted form. An encryption key is generated when the PDA is unlocked and the password is entered. Thus, even if an intruder somehow obtains data from the built-in memory of a locked PDA, the information cannot be extracted without knowing the password.
If Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS is configured not to auto­matically lock the PDA, this functionality (locking your PDA) is delegated to the Security standard utility. This utility does not provide data encryption, which impairs the overall security of your PDA. Moreover, Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm utilizes a more ad­vanced cryptographic algorithm.
7.1. Starting the application
To start Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS
On the PDA screen, click the sult, the application main window will open (see Figure 25).

Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS 51
7.5. Locking your PDA
When the validity period of the current license key has expired or no password has been set, the PDA cannot be locked!
Access to your PDA can be blocked either manually or automatically, upon a user-defined event. Automatic locking is possible only when your PDA is turned off.
To manually lock your PDA:
Launch Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS. In the main window (see Figure 25), click the Lock now button. This will lock and shut down your PDA.
To specify a condition for automatically locking your handheld device:
1. In the application configuration screen (see Figure 26), select the Auto locking field.
2. This will open the Lock Handheld screen (see Figure 28) where you should specify the condition for locking your PDA:
o Never – disable automatic locking
o On power off – lock the PDA when the power is turned off.
o At a preset time – lock the PDA every day at a specified time.
If this option is selected, the Set time screen will open (see Figure 28).
o After a preset delay. If this option is selected, the application
will check whether the PDA is off or on not every Nth minute. If the device is turned off, it will be locked. In the lower part of the screen, specify the time interval for this setting (see Figure 29).
52 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
Figure 28. Setting the lock time
Figure 29. Setting delayed locking
7.6. Data encryption
When the validity period of the license has expired and if the password has not been set, data encryption will be automatically disabled and all data will be decrypted!
Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS can encrypt data stored on your PDA. Encryption is performed “on-the-fly”: the application will decrypt files when you access them and encrypt these files back when you save changes. The operation of Kaspersky DataSafe has virtually no impact on system performance; however, this also depends on the encryption algorithm selected by the user (see section 7.6.2 on page 53).
Encryption involves the use of an encryption key, which is generated every time your PDA is unlocked with a password. This method prevents intruders from accessing your data without the password even if they captured your device.
The user can customize a list of applications whose data shall be encrypted (see section 7.6.2 on page 53).
7.6.1. Enabling / disabling data encryption
To enable / disable data encryption on your PDA:
Launch Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS. In the main window (see Figure 25), select the Encryption field.
Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS 53
If this field is set to Enable, data encryption is activated. In the Using cipher field, you can select the encryption algorithm. To disable encryption, click the
Encryption field and enter the password. The value in this field will change to Disable.
7.6.2. Selecting applications to encrypt
To select applications whose databases will be encrypted:
1. In the application configuration window (see Figure 26), click Application List.
2. In the next screen (see Figure 30), select the applications whose data shall be encrypted. After you have specified all required applications, click OK.
If password protection is enabled (see section 7.4 on page 49) and encryption is activated (see section 7.6.1 on page 52), Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS will immediately encrypt the databases of the selected applications.
Figure 30. Selecting the applications to encrypt
7.6.3. Selecting an encryption algorithm
To select / change the data encryption algorithm:
In the application configuration window (see Figure 26), select an algorithm from the Encryption algorithm list:
o XOR – a faster alogirthm.
54 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
o RC4 – a more reliable algorithm. Use it to protect your data
more efficiently.
7.7. Extra protection mode
The use of this mode might cause a complete loss of your data!
When operating in this mode, the application simply “forgets” the password after three unsuccessful attempts to use it. The password and the encryption key generated using this password cannot be restored. Unlocking your PDA will inevitably cause a complete loss of all encrypted data because the information about the key used to encrypt this data will be unrecoverable.

To enable / disable Extra protection mode:

In the application configuration window (see Figure 26) select / clear the Extra protection mode check box.
7.8. Known problems
Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS is not compatible with the following software:
After a Soft Reset, the BugMe! application displays a message that its
databases are corrupted if data encryption with Kaspersky DataSafe is enabled. While working with BugMe! version 3.3, a Fatal Exception mes- sage might appear. To avoid these issues, do not encrypt the databases of this application.
After a Soft Reset, the DateBook application (only on Palm OS 3.х) dis-
plays a message that its databases are corrupted if data encryption with Kaspersky DataSafe is enabled. To avoid this issue, do not encrypt the databases of this application.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus® Personal
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal protects home computers running Windows 98/ME/2000/NT/XP from all types of known viruses, including Riskware. The application constantly monitors all possible sources of virus penetration, including email, Internet, floppy disks, and CDs. Unknown viruses are efficiently detected and processed by a unique heuristic data analysis system. The two distinct modes of the application's operation (that can be used either separately or jointly) are:
Real-Time Protection – anti-virus scan of all files being run, opened or
saved on the protected computer.
On-Demand Scan – scanning and disinfection of the entire computer or
individual disks, files or folders. You can launch such a scan manually us­ing the graphical interface, or schedule a regular automated scan.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal does not scan objects which have not been modified since their previous scan. This rule now applies both to real-time protection and to the on-demand scan. This feature greatly improves the speed and performance of the program.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal provides reliable protection against viruses that attempt to penetrate computers via email messages. The application automatically scans and disinfects all incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) email messages and efficiently detects viruses in email databases.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal supports over 700 formats of archived and compressed files and ensures automatic anti-virus scanning of their content, and removal of malicious code from files within ZIP, CAB, RAR and ARJ archives.
The application's settings can easily be adjusted by selecting one of three pre­defined levels: Maximum Protection, Recommended Protection and Maximum Speed.

Kaspersky Anti-Hacker is a personal firewall that is designed to safeguard a computer running any Windows operating system. It protects your computer against unauthorized access and external hacker attacks from either the Internet or the local network.
Kaspersky Anti-Hacker monitors the TCP/IP network activity of all applications running on your machine. When it detects a suspicious action, it prevents the suspicious application from accessing the network. This enhances your privacy and provides 100% security for confidential data stored on your computer.
The product’s SmartStealth™ technology prevents hackers from detecting your computer from the outside. In this stealthy mode, the application works seamlessly to keep your computer protected while you are on the Web. The application provides conventional transparency and accessibility of information.
Kaspersky Anti-Hacker also blocks most common network hacker attacks and monitors for attempts to scan computer ports.
Configuration of the application is simply a matter of choosing one of five security levels. By default, the application starts in self-learning mode, which will automatically configure your security system depending on your responses to various events. This makes the firewall adjustable to your specific preferences and your particular needs.

1. License Grant. Subject to the payment of the applicable license fees, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Kaspersky Lab hereby grants you the non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use one copy of the specified version of the Software and the accompanying documentation (the "Documentation") for the term of this Agreement solely for your own internal business purposes. You may install one copy of the Software on one computer,
62 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
workstation, personal digital assistant, or other electronic device for which the Software was designed (each a "Client Device"). If the Software is licensed as a suite or bundle with more than one specified Software product, this license applies to all such specified Software products, subject to any restrictions or usage terms specified on the applicable price list or product packaging that apply to any such Software products individually.
1.1 Use. The Software is licensed as a single product; it may not be used on more than one Client Device or by more than one user at a time, except as set forth in this Section.
1.1.1 The Software is "in use" on a Client Device when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e., random-access memory or RAM) or installed into the permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of that Client Device. This license authorizes you to make only as many back-up copies of the Software as are necessary for its lawful use and solely for back-up purposes, provided that all such copies contain all of the Software's proprietary notices. You shall maintain records of the number and location of all copies of the Software and Documentation and will take all reasonable precautions to protect the Software from unauthorised copying or use.
1.1.2 If you sell the Client Device on which the Software is installed, you will ensure that all copies of the Software have been previously deleted.
1.1.3 You shall not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce any part of this Software to a humanly readable form nor permit any third party to do so. The interface information necessary to achieve interoperability of the Software with independently created computer programs will be provided by Kaspersky Lab by request on payment of its reasonable costs and expenses for procuring and supplying such information. In the event that Kaspersky Lab notifies you that it does not intend to make such information available for any reason, including (without limitation) costs, you shall be permitted to take such steps to achieve interoperability, provided that you only reverse engineer or decompile the Software to the extent permitted by law.
1.1.4 You shall not make error corrections to, or otherwise modify, adapt, or translate the Software, nor create derivative works of the Software, nor permit any third party to copy the Software (other than as expressly permitted herein).

1.2 Server-Mode Use. You may use the Software on a Client Device or on a server ("Server") within a multi-user or networked environment ("Server-Mode") only if such use is permitted in the applicable price list or product packaging for the Software. A separate license is required for each Client Device or "seat" that
Appendix B 63
may connect to the Server at any time, regardless of whether such licensed Client Devices or seats are concurrently connected to or actually accessing or using the Software. Use of software or hardware that reduces the number of Client Devices or seats directly accessing or utilizing the Software (e.g., "multiplexing" or "pooling" software or hardware) does not reduce the number of licenses required (i.e., the required number of licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware "front end"). If the number of Client Devices or seats that can connect to the Software exceeds the number of licenses you have obtained, then you must have a reasonable mechanism in place to ensure that your use of the Software does not exceed the use limits specified for the license you have obtained. This license authorises you to make or download such copies of the Documentation for each Client Device or seat that is licensed as are necessary for its lawful use, provided that each such copy contains all of the Documentation’s proprietary notices.
1.3 Volume Licenses. If the Software is licensed with volume license terms specified in the applicable product invoicing or packaging for the Software, you may make, use or install as many additional copies of the Software on the number of Client Devices as the volume license terms specify. You must have reasonable mechanisms in place to ensure that the number of Client Devices on which the Software has been installed does not exceed the number of licenses you have obtained. This license authorizes you to make or download one copy of the Documentation for each additional copy authorized by the volume license, provided that each such copy contains all of the Document's proprietary notices.
