[. . . ] Check Enable Protection of Confidential Data and click Settings under Protection of Confidential Data (see Figure 45). In the Settings: Protection of Confidential Data window, select the checkboxes across from the events that the module should monitor. To stop monitoring an event, deselect the checkbox next to its name in the list. To edit a rule for monitoring access to confidential data, select it from the list and assign the settings for the rule in the lower part of the window: Define Privacy Control module response. You can assign any of the following actions as a response: block, allow, prompt for action, and terminate process. Left-click on the link with the action until it reaches the value that you need. In addition to stopping the process, you can quarantine the application attempting to access the data. PROTECTION AGAINST NETWORK ATTACKS Today computers have become quite vulnerable when connected to the Internet. They are subjected both to virus infections and to other types of attacks that take advantage of vulnerabilities in operating systems and software. The Kaspersky Internet Security Firewall component ensures your security on local networks and the Internet, by protecting your computer at the network and application levels, and masking your computer on the net to prevent attacks. Lets take a closer look at how Firewall works. You are protected at the network level through global packet filtration rules, in which network activity is allowed or blocked, based on an analysis of settings such as: packet direction, the data transfer protocol for the packet, and the outbound packet port. Rules for data packets establish access to the network, regardless of the applications installed on your computer that use the network. 144 Kaspersky Internet Security 7. 0 In addition to the packet filtration rules, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) provides additional security at the network level. In addition, Firewall includes two modules: Anti-Publicity (see 12. 1. 3 on pg. Recently, a multitude of programs emerged to display various advertisements in browser windows, popup windows, and various banners. These programs are not a direct threat; however, they increase network traffic, cause users to waste time, and to suffer damages. 12. 1. Configuring Firewall While on a network, your computer is protected by the following Firewall modules: Filtering System (see 12. 1. 1 on pg. 146) which filters incoming and outgoing traffic at the network (packet) and application (program) levels. Traffic is filtered based on the configured security level and a continuously updating database of allow and deny rules. To simplify rule configuration and application, the entire global network is partitioned into security areas depending on the associated risk. 163) which protects your computer from all currently known network exploits. The exploit database is continuously updated by Kaspersky Lab specialists, and updates are downloaded together with the application databases. To accomplish this: open the application settings window and select Firewall under Protection. Individual modules may be enabled / disabled and fine-tuned in the appropriate areas of the settings window (see Figure 46). 146 Kaspersky Internet Security 7. 0 Figure 46.
