SECURITY NETWORK
A great number of new threats appear worldwide on an everyday basis. In order
to facilitate gathering the statistics about new threat types, their source and
developing the method to be used for their elimination, Kaspersky Lab allows you
to use the Kaspersky Security Network service.
The use of Kaspersky Security Network involves sending the following
information to Kaspersky Lab:
 A unique identifier assigned to your computer by the application. This
identifier characterizes the hardware settings of your computer and
does not contain any information.
 Information about threats detected by the application's components.
Information structure and contents depends on the type of the threat
detected.
 System information: operating system's version, installed service packs,
downloadable services and drivers, browser and mail client versions,
browser extensions, number of the Kaspersky Lab's application
installed.
Kaspersky Security Network also gathers extended statistics including
information about:
 executable files and signed applications downloaded on your computer,
 applications run on your computer.
The statistical information is sent once the application updated is complete.
Warning!
Kaspersky Lab guarantees that no gathering and distribution of users' personal
data is performed within Kaspersky Security Network.
 To configure the statistics sending settings:
1. Open the application setting window.
2. Select the Feedback section in the left part of the window.
