Use Protection Status

Protection Status is a Kaspersky application feature that helps you analyze and fix problems and computer security threats.

Open Protection Status

For each problem or threat on the Protection Status window, the Kaspersky application suggests actions that you can perform to resolve the problem or threat. For example, if the application detects infected files on the computer, you can click Disinfect All. If the anti-virus databases are out of date, you can click Update. You can fix a problem or neutralize a threat immediately or later.

Fix a problem or neutralize a threat immediately

If you close Protection Status without neutralizing dangerous threats, the protection status indicator in the main application window remains red to remind you of these threats.
