service packs to make sure they meet the software requirements for product installation. 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.
STEP 3. SELECT INSTALLATION TYPE
At this stage, you can choose the type of Kaspersky Small Office Security installation:
Express installation. When this option is selected (the Custom installation box is unchecked), the application
will be installed on your computer with protection settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab experts. The Setup
Wizard will offer you to view the End User License Agreement and the Kaspersky Security Network Data
Collection Statement. After it the program will be installed on your computer.
Custom installation. When this option is selected (the Custom installation box is checked) you can modify
installation settings: you can choose the program components to install and select the installation folder. The
protection settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab will be specified for each component you have selected.
The custom installation mode is recommended for experienced users only.
Regardless of the installation mode, after installation you can activate Kaspersky Small Office Security and configure the
protection settings to prevent unauthorized access.
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.
To cancel the application installation, click 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, and downloaded signed
applications to Kaspersky Lab, along with the unique ID assigned to your copy of Kaspersky Small Office Security and
your system information. We guarantee that none of your personal data will be sent.

22
STEP 6. SELECTING THE DESTINATION FOLDER
This step in the Installation Wizard is available if the custom installation of Kaspersky Small Office Security is selected
(see page 21). When carrying out the standard installation, this step is skipped and the application is installed to the
default folder.
At this stage you can select the folder in which to install Kaspersky Small Office Security. The following path is set by
default:
<disk>\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Small Office Security – for 32-bit systems;
<disk>\Program Files (х86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Small Office Security – for 64-bit systems.
To install Kaspersky Small Office 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 200 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.
STEP 7. SEARCHING FOR OTHER ANTI-VIRUS
APPLICATIONS
At this step, the wizard searches for other anti-virus programs, including other Kaspersky Lab’s programs, which may
conflict with Kaspersky Small Office Security.
If any anti-virus applications were detected on your computer, they will be listed on the screen. You will be asked to
uninstall them before you proceed with the installation.
To remove the anti-virus programs that you have detected, use the Remove button.
To proceed with the installation, click the Next button.
STEP 8. DISABLING MICROSOFT WINDOWS FIREWALL
This step in the Installation Wizard is available only for the installation of Kaspersky Small Office Security on a personal
computer and only if Microsoft Windows firewall is enabled on the computer. The step is skipped if Kaspersky Small
Office Security is being installed on a file server or on a personal computer without Microsoft Windows firewall enabled.
In Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for File Server, the Firewall is disabled by default.
Page 23
I N S T A L L I N G T H E A P P L I C A T I O N
23
At this step of the application installation, you are offered to disable the firewall integrated into Microsoft Windows.
Kaspersky Small Office Security includes the Firewall component, which ensures comprehensive protection of your
network activities. So, there is no need to use additional protection provided by the operating system.
The option Disable Microsoft Windows firewall is selected by default for the installation. If you want to use Firewall as
the main protection tool for network activity, keep this option selected.
If you want to protect your computer with Microsoft Windows firewall, select the Use Microsoft Windows Firewall
enabled option. In this case, the Firewall component will be installed but disabled to avoid conflicts in the applications'
operation.
To proceed with the Wizard, click the Next button.
STEP 9. PREPARING INSTALLATION
This step in the Installation Wizard is available if the custom installation of Kaspersky Small Office Security is selected
(see page 21). In standard installation, this step is skipped.
Since your computer may be infected with malicious programs that may impact the installation of Kaspersky Small Office
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 Custom installation box at the "Select installation
type" step (see section "Step 3. Select installation type" on page 21) 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 10. INSTALLING
Installation of the application can take some time. Wait for it to complete.
The Activation Wizard starts automatically on completion of the installation.
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 Small Office Security.
Page 24
I N S T A L L A T I O N G U I D E

STEP 11. 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 Small Office Security activation:
Activate commercial version. Select this option and enter the activation code if you have purchased a
commercial version of the application.
During the activation of a commercial version of the application, the Activation Wizard may prompt you to
register so that you can use Kaspersky Lab's Technical Support Service.
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 Small Office Security activation stage is skipped. The
application will be installed on your computer, but you will not be able to use certain application functions, for
example update (you will be able to update the application only once after its installation), creation of an
encrypted container, additional tools, etc. The Activate later option is only available at the first start of the
Activation Wizard, immediately after installing the application.
STEP 12. DATA VERIFICATION
During this step, the Activation Wizard sends data to the activation server for verification.
In order to verify data, you should be connected to the Internet.
STEP 13. COMPLETING THE ACTIVATION
The Activation Wizard informs you that Kaspersky Small Office Security has been successfully activated. Additionally,
information about the license is provided: license type (commercial or trial), date of expiry, and number of personal
computers or file servers under the license.
If you have activated the subscription, information about the subscription status is displayed instead of the license expiry
date.
Click the Next button to continue the installation by starting the Configuration Wizard.
STEP 14. RESTRICTING ACCESS TO THE APPLICATION
The purpose of access restriction consists in preventing unauthorized attempts of disabling the protection or modifying
the settings of the components integrated into Kaspersky Small Office Security.
Restricting access to Kaspersky Small Office Security with a password may be useful in the following cases:
if a personal computer is used by several persons, probably with varying levels of computer literacy;
Page 25
I N S T A L L I N G T H E A P P L I C A T I O N
25
if Kaspersky Small Office Security ensures security of several computers joined into an office network;
if protection is at the risk of being disabled by malware.
To enable password protection, check the Enable protection by administrator password box and fill in the Password
and Confirm password fields.
Specify the area that you want to protect with a password as follows:
Application settings configuration – the password is requested when the user attempts to save changes
made to Kaspersky Small Office Security settings.
Backup management – the password is requested before the backup tasks are run.
Web Policy Management – the password is requested before Web Policy Management is run (only in
Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer).
Management Console – the password will be requested before modifying the Kaspersky Small Office Security
settings via network.
Exiting the application – the password will be requested when the user attempts to exit the application.
STEP 15. SELECTING PROTECTION MODE
This step in the Configuration Wizard is available if the custom installation of Kaspersky Small Office Security is selected
(see page 21). In standard installation, this step is skipped, and by default, the application runs in automatic protection
mode. You have the option later to select a protection mode manually.
Select the protection mode provided by Kaspersky Small Office Security.
Two modes are available:
Automatic. If any important events occur, Kaspersky Small Office Security automatically performs the action
recommended by Kaspersky Lab. Once a threat is detected, the application attempts to disinfect the object; if it
fails, the application deletes it. Suspicious objects will be skipped without processing. Pop-up messages inform
the user about new events. To install this mode, select the I trust Kaspersky Small Office Security and prefer
it to make decisions on computer security itself and not to ask me any questions (recommended) option.
Interactive. In this mode the application reacts to events in the manner you have specified. Once an event
requiring your attention occurs, the application displays notifications which offer you to select an action. To
install this mode, select the I prefer making decisions on computer security myself. Kaspersky Small
Office Security should ask me every time it is necessary to make a decision option.
Notifications warning about the detection of an active infection are displayed irrespective of the protection mode you
have selected.
STEP 16. CONFIGURING APPLICATION UPDATE
This step in the Configuration Wizard is available if the custom installation of Kaspersky Small Office Security is selected
(see page 21). The step is skipped in standard installation, and by default, an automatic updated is performed. You have
the option later to select an update mode manually.
The quality of your computer's protection depends directly on regular updates of the databases and application modules.
In this window, the Setup Wizard asks you to select the update mode and to specify the schedule settings.
Page 26
I N S T A L L A T I O N G U I D E
26
Automatic update. The application checks the update source for update packages at specified intervals. The
scanning frequency can be increased during anti-virus outbreaks and decreased when there are none. Having
discovered new updates, the program downloads and installs them on the computer. This is the default mode.
Scheduled updates (time interval may change depending on the schedule settings). Updates will run
automatically according to the schedule created. You can alter the schedule settings in the window that opens
by clicking the Settings button.
Manual updates. If you select this option, you will run application updates on your own.
If you want to switch to editing the update settings (select the resource from which the updates will be downloaded, or
the user account used to run the update process, etc.), click the Settings button.
STEP 17. SELECTING THREATS TO BE DETECTED
This step in the Configuration Wizard is available if the custom installation of Kaspersky Small Office Security is selected
(see page 21). The step is skipped in standard installation and the settings are installed by default. You have the option
later to select detected threats manually.
At this step, you can select the threat categories to be detected by Kaspersky Small Office Security. Kaspersky Small
Office Security always searches for programs that are capable of damaging your computer, including viruses, worms and
Trojans.
STEP 18. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
At this stage, the Configuration Wizard collects information about applications contained in Microsoft Windows. 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.
Other applications are analyzed at the first startup after Kaspersky Small Office Security installation.
STEP 19. FINISHING THE CONFIGURATION WIZARD.
The last window of the Configuration Wizard will inform you of a successful completion of application installation. To run
Kaspersky Small Office Security, make sure that the Run Kaspersky Small Office Security box is checked, and click
the Finish button.
In some cases, you may need to reboot your operating system. If you have checked the Run Kaspersky Small Office
Security box before closing the Configuration Wizard, the application will run automatically after you reboot your
computer. If you have unchecked this box, you will need to start the application manually.

Kaspersky Lab is an internationally renowned company that creates software products to protect computers against
viruses, malware, spam, network and hacker attacks, and other threats.
In 2008, Kaspersky Lab was rated among the world’s top four leading vendors of information security software solutions
for end users (IDC Worldwide Endpoint Security Revenue by Vendor). According to a COMCON survey entitled TGIRussia 2009, Kaspersky Lab is the preferred developer of computer protection systems among home users in Russia.
Kaspersky Lab was founded in Russia in 1997. Today, Kaspersky Lab is an international group of companies
headquartered in Moscow with five regional divisions that manage the company's activity in Russia, Western and Eastern
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North and South America, Japan, China, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
The company employs more than 2000 qualified specialists.
Products. Kaspersky Lab’s products provide protection for all systems—from home computers to large corporate
networks.
The personal product range includes anti-virus applications for desktop, laptop and pocket computers, and for
smartphones and other mobile devices.
The company delivers applications and services to protect workstations, file and web servers, mail gateways, and
firewalls. Used in conjunction with Kaspersky Lab’s centralized management system, these solutions ensure effective
automated protection for companies and organizations against computer threats. Kaspersky Lab's products are certified
by the major test laboratories, are compatible with the software of many suppliers of computer applications, and are
optimized to run on many hardware platforms.
Kaspersky Lab’s virus analysts work around the clock. Every day they uncover hundreds of new computer threats, create
tools to detect and disinfect them, and include them in the databases used by Kaspersky Lab applications. Kaspersky
Lab's Anti-Virus database is updated hourly; and the Anti-Spam database every five minutes.
Technologies. Many technologies that are now part and parcel of modern anti-virus tools were originally developed by
Kaspersky Lab. It is no coincidence that many other developers user the Kaspersky Anti-Virus kernel in their products,
including: Safenet (USA), Alt-N (USA), Blue Coat (USA), Check Point (Israel), Clearswift (UK), Communigate Systems
(USA), Critical Path (Ireland), D-Link (Taiwan), Finjan (USA), GFI (Malta), IBM (USA), Juniper (USA), LANDesk (USA),
Microsoft (USA), Netasq (France), Netgear (USA), Parallels (Russia), Sonicwall (USA), WatchGuard (USA), ZyXEL
(Taiwan). Many of the company’s innovative technologies are patented.
Achievements. Over the years, Kaspersky Lab has won hundreds of awards for its services in combating computer
threats. For example, in 2010 Kaspersky Anti-Virus received the top Advanced+ award in a test carried out by AVComparatives, a respected Austrian anti-virus laboratory. But Kaspersky Lab's main achievement is the loyalty of its
users worldwide. The company’s products and technologies protect more than 300 million users, and its corporate clients
number more than 200,000.
