Network
Monitored ports
Here you can specify which ports KIS should monitor when analysing the network traffic.
Monitor all network ports: all the ports will be monitored.
Monitor selected ports only: KIS will monitor only the most common ports. To edit the list of the monitored ports, click on the Select… button.
Encrypted connections scan
Scan encrypted connections: enables/disables the scanning of traffic through SSL encrypted connections. The SSL protocol supports the mutual authentication of both server and client, based on public-key certificates. In order to scan the encrypted connections, KIS will use its own security certificate.
Check the Scan encrypted connections box if you want the encrypted connections to be scanned, then click on the Install certificate… button and follow the installation wizard.
The automatic installation of the Kaspersky certificate will only work with Microsoft Internet Explorer. In other browsers, like Mozilla Firefox or Opera, you will have to install the certificate manually. The certificate file (Cert(fake)Kaspersky Anti-Virus personal root certificate.cer) is located in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP8\Data\Cert(fake)Kaspersky Anti-Virus personal root certificate.cer
Proxy server
If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, click on the Proxy server settings… button to open the Proxy server settings window. Once there, you will be able to edit your proxy configuration.
Network package analysis
Show “Network package analysis” monitor: enables/disables the Network Package Analysis tool. The tool shows all the details about intercepted packets (date and time, source, destination, protocol etc.) and is intended for experienced users. When this box is checked, the Network Package Analysis item will be displayed in the Content Filtering section of the main program window.
