CHAPTER 2. INSTALLING THE
APPLICATION
To install Kaspersky Security for PDA, you will need a handheld device (either a
PDA or a smartphone) and a desktop computer that meets the requirements
specified in section 1.1 on page 6.
Only the user with administrator rights for the desktop computer can
install the application.
The installation consists of the following two stages:
1. Installing the application components on the desktop computer.
2. Transferring the components to the handheld device.
2.1. Installing the application
components on the PC
Before installing the program on your computer it is advised that you
close all running programs.
To install the application, run the setup.exe file in the application distribution
package. To complete the installation, follow the setup wizard’s instructions.
Each wizard’s dialog box contains the following control buttons:
• OK – accept actions.
• Cancel – cancel actions.
• Next – move to the next step.
• Back – move one step back.

Palm OS 5.0; therefore, this component is not installed for this version.
By default all listed components will be installed. Select the components to install
using the appropriate checkboxes or clear the checkboxes corresponding to the
components that will not be installed.
At the bottom of the dialog box, you can see the amount of disk space required

Step 8. Completing the installation
The Setup Wizard Complete dialog box informs you that the program has been
successfully installed on your personal computer. Click Finish.
If you are installing Kaspersky Security for PDA on a handheld device running
the Pocket PC and MS Smartphone operating systems, the files will be
transferred by the Microsoft ActiveSync application that will be started
automatically (see section 2.2.1 on page 13).
If you are installing Kaspersky Security for PDA on a PDA running Palm OS, you
need to synchronize your PDA with the desktop computer to transfer application
files to the PDA (see section 2.2.2 on page 13).
2.2. Transferring the components to
your PDA
2.2.1. …running Pocket PC or MS
Smartphone
The Microsoft ActiveSync software will start automatically after the installation of
Kaspersky Security for PDA on the personal desktop. If your PDA is placed in the
cradle, the synchronization application will offer you to transfer the components
right away. If the PDA is not placed in the cradle, the components will be
transferred during the next synchronization of your PDA with the computer.
To transfer the files from the personal desktop to the PDA, specify the installation
folder for Kaspersky Security for PDA and select the storage place for the
application components – in PDA’s memory or on a memory extension card.
After copying is complete, disconnect your PDA from the cradle.
2.2.2. …based on Palm OS

application is already running. Place your PDA on the cradle and press the
synchronization button.
After the connection is established, synchronization will start. During
synchronization, the following application files will be copied from the desktop
computer to the PDA:
• Application, anti-virus database, virus encyclopedia, and the license key
file – if you are installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS.
14 Kaspersky Security 5.5 for PDA
• Application, cryptographic library and the license key file– if you are installing Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS.
After copying is complete, you can disconnect the PDA from the cradle.
2.3. Upgrading from version 5.0 to
5.5
To upgrade the version of the Kaspersky Security for PDA application, uninstall
the previous version and install the new one following the instructions of Chapter
2 on page 9.
CHAPTER 3. KASPERSKY ANTI-
