SELECTING NETWORK TYPE
After installation is complete, the Firewall component analyzes your computer’s
active network connections. Each network connection will be assigned a status,
determining the allowed network activities.
If you selected Kaspersky Internet Security’s interactive mode, a notification will
be displayed each time a network connection is established. You can select the
status for new networks in the notification window:
 Public network – external access to your computer is blocked, and
access to public folders and printers is also blocked. This status is
recommended for connections to the Internet.
 Local network – access to public folders and network printers is
allowed. You are advised to assign this status to protected local
networks, for example, a corporate network.
 Trusted network – any activities are allowed. You are advised to
assign this status only to absolutely secure areas.
