Purpose, main features and components of
Kaspersky Security for the PDA software
package
Kaspersky Security for the PDA software package is developed to protect PDA of
various types from viruses and unauthorized access .
Kaspersky Security for PDA allows the user to:
• secure from computer viruses on various types of PDA: with the Palm OS
and the Pocket PC operating systems (i.e. PDA running Palm OS and
PDA running Windows CE).
• protect pocket devices from viruses entering the device system during
synchronization with a desktop, during data communication with another
PDA via the IRD port, or with mail messages. The program checks for viruses in network folders and on memory expansion cards.
• upload the latest anti-virus databases via the Internet.
• encrypt and password your PDA data.
Kaspersky Security for the PDA software package includes the following
components :
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE is developed to protect from vi-
ruses on PDA running Windows CE. The anti-virus scanner checks for viruses in data storage locations and also on expansion cards and in network folders mounted under. The anti-virus database updating utility allows you to keep your protection system at peak functionality.
• Kaspersky Security for Windows CE is developed to protect confiden-
tial data on PDA running Windows CE from unauthorized access. The
program allows you to create confidential folders containing encrypted
and passworded data. The data can be saved using the PDA applications within the confidential folders in the same way as they are usually
saved onto memory expansion cards.
8 Kaspersky Security for PDA
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS is developed to protect from viruses
on PDA running Palm OS. The program monitors all the data traffic that
can be used by viruses to enter your PDA. The anti-virus scanner checks
for viruses in data storage locations: main memory and expansion cards.
The anti-virus monitor intercepts viruses in data transferred to PDA using
the HotSync or the Beam technology. The anti-virus database updating
utility allows you to keep your protection system at peak functionality.
• Kaspersky Security for Palm OS is developed to protect confidential
data on PDA running Palm OS from unauthorized access. The program
allows you to lock the PDA at a certain timestamp manually or at the time
the computer is turned off. To unlock the PDA, the user is required to enter a password. Encryption of data stored on the PDA and the locking are
performed simultaneously. Therefore, even if a violator accesses the
memory contents of the locked PDA, he/she cannot extract information
without the password.
Installation of the program and updating of the anti-virus databases are
performed using a desktop connected to the PDA via a cord and the
PDA-to-desktop connecting programs supplied with your PDA.

r What is Kaspersky Anti-Virus fo Windows CE?
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE provides anti-virus protection for PDA
running Windows CE. Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE includes the
following components :
• an anti-virus scanner providing on-demand checking for viruses in data
storage locations and on expansion cards;
• an updating utility allowing automatic updating of the anti-virus databases.
The program utilizes a menu system and flexible configuration, generates an
operation log describing all the actions taken, and supports a color userinterface.
If the program detects a virus attack, it can delete the infected object (the
program does not disinfect infected objects!).
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE is able to detect only those viruses developed specially for the PDA running Windows CE. Files infected with Windows viruses and viruses developed for other operating
systems cannot affect your PDA. If you copy a file infected with a Windows virus to your PDA, or if you move a message infected by a Windows virus into your pocket device email program, Kaspersky Anti-Virus
for Windows CE will not detect it .
To provide full-scale protection for home computers Kaspersky Lab
recommends to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal/Personal Pro (for
details see Appendix B on page 139).
The program and its internal architecture are divided into two main parts: an antivirus kernel and an anti-virus (or virus definition) database. This makes the
program more efficient, flexible and user-friendly, since you do not have to load
the entire program to acquire protection from a new virus; it is enough to update
(load) the anti-virus database.

In order to install the key file for the Kaspersky Security for PDA running
Windows CE program components, do the following:
Using your mouse, click on the Key Selection button in the dialog window Registration. In the standard Windows CE dialog that will be displayed, specify the key file copied during the program components’
transfer (it must be located in you My Documents directory). This will

If an earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE was installed on your PDA and its key file has not expired, you can also use it
as the key file for the Kaspersky Security for PDA running Windows CE
program package components.
To do so, you will have to move the file KAVScanner.key from the directory in which the earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed it
(\ProgramFiles\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus) to your My
Documents directory. After that, install the key file as described above.

When less than 15 days remain before the licensing agreement’s expiration date,
Kaspersky Anti-Virus will begin informing you about this every day.
The licensing agreement renewal means you must purchase and install a new
key file.
After the licensing agreement expires, the program will display the Registration
window each time it starts. This window (see Figure Figure 28) contains a
notification and a suggestion to install a new key file. The program will no longer
function if the user does not install the new key file.
Since Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Security for Windows CE
share the same key file, the user can renew the license in any of these
software products.
Figure 28. License renewal
In order to renew the license, the user has to purchase and install the
new license key for the Kaspersky Security for PDA running Windows
CE program components. To do so, please take the following steps:
1. In order to purchase the new key, please contact the company from
which you originally purchased this software product and request
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE 35
the license key for Kaspersky Security for PDA 4.5.1 running
Windows CE.
or:
purchase the license key directly from Kaspersky Lab. To do so,
please email our sales department (sales@kaspersky.com) or fill in
the respective form on our website (www.kaspersky.ru) in the
section Purchase online ! For home users. After your payment is
received, the new key file will be emailed to the address you
specified in the order form.
Kaspersky Lab carries out periodic actions that will allow you to receive
a considerable discount on the license renewal. Watch for information
about forthcoming actions in the section Information ! Actions of
Kaspersky Lab’s website.
2. Copy the key file you have received to the My Documents
directory of your PDA (see Step 2 on page Error! Bookmark not
defined.).
3. Start Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE. If the license key has
expired, the license renewal window will be displayed automatically
(see Figure Figure 28). Otherwise, select Registration from the ?
menu in the program’s main window to open the Registration dialog
window (see Figure 37).
4. Using your mouse, click on the Key Selection button. In the
standard Windows CE dialog that will now be displayed, specify the
key file copied during the program components’ transfer (it must be
located in your My Documents directory). This will copy the file to
the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE installation directory (the
default directory is \Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky
Anti-Virus). If the installation is successful, the system message
will be displayed (see Figure Figure 27). Click OK and restart the
program.
As a result of this procedure, the license key will be renewed for the duration of
the newly installed key’s period of validity.
If the new key is installed prior to the expiration date of the current key,
you will be given the option to set the current key’s expiration date as
the beginning of the new key’s period of validity.

To update anti-virus databases on your Pocket PC device,
insert your Pocket PC device into the cradle. After you have done this,
the connection between your pocket device and the desktop will be
established automatically.
The updating utility retrieves new anti-virus databases via the Internet and copies
them onto your PDA on-demand (when you tap on the Get Update button),
every time the PDA is connected to your desktop (the On Every Connect mode)
or as scheduled. In the last case the time before the next updating procedure is
calculated and if the day, week, month (the Daily, the Weekly, the Monthly
modes respectively) is passed, the program automatically starts updating antivirus databases.
The updating procedure does not depend on whether you have selected to set
up a partnership between ActiveSync and your PDA or not. The updating utility
starts once the connection between ActiveSync and your PDA is established and
does not screen any messages during the operation.
50 Kaspersky Security for PDA
The anti-virus databases are located within a single file (KAVBase.kvb);
when these are updated a new file is substituted for the old one.
The updates are downloaded from one of the anti-virus database-updating
servers. The list of URLs is saved by the installation program in the system
registry and cannot be edited from the updating utility . The list of servers may
include up to 10 URLs. The program attempts to update anti-virus databases
from the first server in the list. If it fails, the program attempts to connect to the
second URL and so on, until the updating procedure is successfully performed.
The current URL of the updating server is indicated by the status bar in the
program main window, and the updating progress is indicated by the progress
bar.
If the updating utility fails to update the anti-virus databases from all the
servers in the list, or if the updating operation was not completed, the
program will continue to use the current anti-virus databases. If this
happens, the date of the last updating operation performed will remain
unchanged, and the corresponding information will be displayed in the
status bar: "Failed to retrieve the updates".
If the updating procedure is successful and the updates are downloaded to the
desktop, the updating utility compares the anti-virus database date with those
located on the PDA. If the database release date on the PDA is earlier than that
on the desktop, the new anti-virus database is copied from the desktop onto the
PDA.
If the time has come to download a new database, the program automatically attempts to retrieve it via the Internet and install it on the
pocket device. However, this is not the case with the updating program
for Palm OS; with the program for Palm OS, the retrieved database is
copied to the pocket device only during the next synchronization procedure. This happens because a PDA running Palm OS breaks the connection with the desktop immediately after the synchronization is implemented, while а PDA running Windows CE always remains connected to ActiveSync.

Kaspersky Security for Windows CE is developed to protect the confidential data
on a PDA running Windows CE from unauthorized access by encrypting this
data.
Kaspersky Security for Windows CE allows you to:
• Create special confidential files on your PDA that allow you to store
confidential data. The placement of data to a confidential file and access
to this data is implemented by using a special mounting procedure, which
results in the creation of a special confidential folder.
• Open confidential files that were created on other PDAs using the
Kaspersky Security for Windows CE program. If you have copied a confidential file from another PDA and you know the password for the data located within the file, you can open it and use it the same way as you do
with confidential files created on your PDA.
• Mount confidential folders. Confidential folders can be mounted only if
you use the appropriate password. The mounted confidential folders are
listed by the PDA file system as expansion cards or network folders. You
can use these folders the same way as you use any conventional folder;
i.e. you can save data within them and edit it.
• Unmount confidential folders. After you have completed working with
confidential data, you can unmount the confidential folder. All the data is
stored in a confidential file in encrypted form and cannot be accessed
without entering the appropriate password.
All the data within your confidential folders is encrypted. Encryption and
decryption of the data is performed by the program "on-the-fly", i.e. the
user (and the applications on his/her PDA) sees the contents of the
folder and the open text of the files located within it, but the data is
stored within the PDA memory only in encrypted form.
52 Kaspersky Security for PDA
For details on how to work with your expansion cards refer to your PDA
documentation.

To start Kaspersky Security for Windows CE,
press the Start button in your PDA taskbar. Point your cursor to Pro-
grams and select Kaspersky Security from the program list. Af-
ter that, if a valid key file is installed on your PDA, the program’s main
window will be displayed (see Figure 42).
If the program is the first one to be started after the installation of the Kaspersky
Security for PDA program components or if it is launched after the license key’s
expiration, the user will be requested to install the key file (see subchapter Error!
Reference source not found.on page Error! Bookmark not defined.).

Following installation, whenever you launch any component of Kaspersky
Security for PDA running Windows CE for the first time, you will be requested to
install the key file. The respective dialog window will also be displayed (see
Figure 39). During installation, the key file will be copied from your My
Documents directory to the component installation directory.
Kaspersky Security for Windows CE 53
If the first application you launch after installation is Kaspersky AntiVirus for Windows CE, you will be requested to install its key (see subchapter Error! Reference source not found.on page Error!
Bookmark not defined.).
Figure 39. License key installation
In order to install the key file for the Kaspersky Security for PDA running
Windows CE program components, do the following:
Using your mouse, click on the Key Selection button in the dialog window Registration. In the standard Windows CE dialog that will be displayed, specify the key file copied during the program components’
transfer (it must be located in your My Documents directory). This will
copy the file to the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE installation directory (the default directory is \ProgramFiles\Kaspersky
Lab\Kaspersky Security). If the installation is successful, the system
message will be displayed (see Figure 40). Click OK and restart the
program).
54 Kaspersky Security for PDA
Figure 40. The key is successfully installed on the PDA
If an earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows CE was installed on your PDA and its key file has not expired, you can also use it
as the key file for the Kaspersky Security for PDA running Windows CE
program package components.
To do so, you will have to move the file KAVScanner.key from the directory in which the earlier version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus installed it
(\ProgramFiles\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus) to your My
Documents directory. After that, install the key file as described above.
44..33..22.. LLiicceennssee rreenneewwaall
When less than 15 days remain before the license agreement’s expiration date,
Kaspersky Anti-Virus will begin informing you about this every day.
After the license agreement expires, the information stored in secret
files becomes unavailable. If you do not intend to renew the license, you
should save the necessary information to an unencrypted location prior
to the license’s expiration date.
The licensing agreement renewal means you must purchase and install a new
key file.
Kaspersky Security for Windows CE 55
After the licensing agreement expires, the program will display the Registration
window each time it starts. This window (see Figure 41) contains a notification
and a suggestion to install a new key file. The program will no longer function if
the user does not install the new key file.
Since Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Security for Windows CE
share the same key file, the user can renew the license in any of these
software products.
Figure 41. License renewal
In order to renew the license, the user must purchase and install the
new license key for the Kaspersky Security for PDA running Windows
CE program components. To do so, please take the following steps:
1. In order to purchase the new key, please contact the company from
which you originally purchased this software product and request
the license key for Kaspersky Security for PDA 4.5.1 running
Windows CE.
or:

Kaspersky Lab carries out periodic actions that will allow you to receive
considerable discount on your license renewal. Watch for information
about forthcoming actions in the section Information ! Actions of
Kaspersky Lab’s website.
5. Copy the key file you have received to the My Documents
directory of your PDA (see Step 2 on page Error! Bookmark not
defined.).
6. Start Kaspersky Security for Windows CE. If the license key has
expired, the license renewal window will be displayed automatically
(see Figure 41). Otherwise, select Registration from the ? menu in
the program’s main window to open the Registration dialog window
(see Figure 46).
7. Using your mouse, click on the Key Selection button. In the
standard Windows CE dialog that will be displayed, specify the key

Kaspersky Security for Windows CE allows you to create confidential files and
store data within them. Confidential files have the .kst extension .ksf, and data
within them is automatically encrypted. The data encryption algorithm and other
settings are defined when you create the file.
To create a confidential file, follow these steps,
1. Select the New command from the main screen File menu.
72 Kaspersky Security for PDA
To perform this action you can also use the New com-
mand from the list management contextual menu.
2. In the confidential file creation screen displayed, switch to the
Folder tab (see Figure 58) and follow these steps:
Figure 58. The Folder page
• Define the required confidential file name in the Name text field.
• Select the location of the confidential file to be created from the
Location drop-down list . By default, the program suggests the
main memory of your PDA (Main Memory). The drop-down list
also includes the available expansion cards (Storage Card)
and mounted confidential folders.
You can place the confidential file in a confidential
folder. However you should remember that the confidential folder will be created on the basis of this file in
the My Device directory of the main memory of your
PDA.
While working with the embedded confidential files you
will observe a slow down of your PDA's performance;
therefore it is not advisable to create these.
• Select the folder to which the new confidential file must be

folder of the selected expansion card.
The contents of the Folder drop-down list depends on
the value selected for the Location option!
The list includes subdirectories of all the My docu-
ments folders in the main memory of your PDA or on
the selected expansion card.
• Use the Size option to define the confidential file size – the
maximum amount of data that can be saved to this confidential
file. The default value is

• In the Password text field enter the folder-access password for
the file on which basis the folder is created (the file value is de-
fined in the confidential file creation screen Password text
field).
4. To complete the file mounting operation press the button in the
Kaspersky Security for Pocket PC taskbar.
5. If the program mounts this file the first time, you will be prompted to
format the folder to be created (see Figure 61). Press the Yes
button. If you refuse to format the folder, the program will be disabled
from saving data to the confidential folder.
6. When the folder-created notification (see Figure 62), will appear on
your screen, press the

confidential file creation screen Location text field (see Figure 58). The file on
Kaspersky Security for Windows CE 77
which basis this folder was created will be marked with the icon in the list of
confidential files of the Kaspersky Security program.
You can save any file within the confidential folder and work with them using
other applications on your pocket PC. All the files within the folder will be
encrypted. The data encryption is performed "on-the-fly" meaning that Kaspersky
Security for Pocket PC decodes data every time it is addressed and encrypts this
data again when saving it. At that, you will not observe any slow-down in your

You can use this feature of Kaspersky Security for Windows CE to open and
mount confidential files created on the other PDAs.
You can open and work with an existing confidential file located in one of the My
documents folders within the main memory of your PDA or on the mounted
expansion cards:
• define the file settings (see subchapter 4.5.6 on page 80).
• change the file access-password (see subchapter 4.5.7 on page 82)
• mount this file as a confidential folder (see subchapter 4.5.2 on page 74).
• unmount the file-based confidential folder (see subchapter 4.5.4 on
page 79).
You can mount a confidential file located within any of the folders on
your PDA by starting it from File Explorer.
To open and mount a confidential file created on the other PDA, follow
these steps,

Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS provides anti-virus protection for PDAs
running Palm OS. The program monitors all the data streams that might be used
by a virus to penetrate your Palm device.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS includes:
• an anti-virus scanner providing on-demand checking for viruses in data
storage locations and on expansion cards;
• an anti-virus monitor that intercepts viruses in data that is transferred using the HotSync utility;
• an anti-virus monitor that intercepts viruses in data that is beamed from
another Palm device.
• an updating utility allowing automatic updating of the anti-virus databases.
The program utilizes a multilevel menu system and flexible configuration,
generates an operation log describing all the actions taken, and supports a color
user-interface. Kaspersky Anti-Virus also contains a built-in encyclopaedia that
describes all the known malware for Palm OS.
If the program detects a virus attack, it can delete the infected file on your Palm,
disinfect it or pass it – the choice depends on the user-defined settings.
The program and its internal architecture are divided into two main parts: an antivirus kernel and an anti-virus (or virus definition) database. This makes the
program more efficient, flexible and user-friendly, since you do not have to load
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS 85

After it is installed, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, just like any other program on your
Palm, permanently resides in the memory of your Palm device, regardless of
whether you open the program main screen or not.
The program starts searching for and deleting viruses in one of the following
three cases:
• The process is started automatically right after you load data into your
Palm device using the HotSync utility (see subchapter 5.4.2.2 on
page 90).
• The process is started automatically right after data is beamed data into
your Palm device (see subchapter 5.4.2.2 on page 90).
• The process is started automatically right after you insert an expansion
card into your Palm device (see subchapter 5.4.2.2 on page 90).
• You can start scanning for viruses on demand (see subchapter 5.4.2.3
on page 91)
90 Kaspersky Security for PDA
When Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects a virus, the program handles it as you have
defined in the Configuration screen (see subchapter 5.4.1 on page 88). If you
selected to display the disinfect dialog, the Infected Object dialog box will
appear on your screen (see subchapter 5.4.2.4 on page 92).
Right after your Kaspersky Anti-Virus completes checking for viruses,
performance statistics appears on your screen (see subchapter 5.4.2.5 on
page 93).

Kaspersky Anti-Virus can automatically scan for viruses in files that have been
beamed into your Palm device or loaded using the HotSync utility. The program
will monitor these files if you pre-define the corresponding settings in the
Configuration screen (see subchapter 88) .
By default, when you install Kaspersky
Anti-Virus the Scan after Sync mode is
enabled. When you start your anti-virus
the first time, the program asks whether
you want to enable the Scan beamed
files mode (see Figure 70).
Figure 70. A dialog box asking whether
you want to enable the Scan beamed files
The program monitors for viruses in data that is uploaded to the Palm using the
HotSync utility only if the Scan after Sync box in the Configuration screen is
checked. The program checks for viruses only in new and modified data.
mode
If during a HotSync operation a new virus definition database is loaded
into your Palm, this database will replace the old one and other loaded
data will be checked for viruses using this new virus definition database.
If during a HotSync operation the new executable module KAVP.PRC is
loaded into your Palm, the program will not check for viruses in the
module or in any other data that was loaded together with it. If the module is infected, the program will detect the virus when it starts to scan
for viruses the next time. However, it will not be able to disinfect or delete itself. In this case, to delete the module you must use the conventional tools on your Palm.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS 91
The program monitors for viruses in data that is beamed into the Palm only if the
Scan beamed files box in the Configuration screen is checked. These files are
checked right after you load them from another Palm device.
