A code that you receive when purchasing a license for Kaspersky Endpoint Security. This code is required for activation of the application.
The activation code is a unique sequence of twenty letters and numbers in the format xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.
A key that is currently used by the application.
A key that certifies the right to use the application but is not currently being used.
A set of computers that share common functions and a set of Kaspersky Lab applications installed on them. Computers are grouped so that they can be managed conveniently as a single unit. A group may include other groups. It is possible to create group policies and group tasks for each installed application in the group.
A component of Kaspersky Security Center that centrally stores information about all Kaspersky Lab applications that are installed within the corporate network. It can also be used to manage these applications.
Databases that contain information about computer security threats known to Kaspersky Lab as of when the anti-virus databases are released. Entries in anti-virus databases allow malicious code to be detected in scanned objects. Anti-virus databases are created by Kaspersky Lab specialists and updated hourly.
A specialized component that provides the interface for application management through Administration Console. Each application has its own plug-in. It is included in all Kaspersky Lab applications that can be managed by using Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
A special storage for backup copies of files, which are created before disinfection or deletion is attempted.
A method of processing infected objects that results in full or partial recovery of data. Not all infected objects can be disinfected.
An Exclusion is an object excluded from the scan by a Kaspersky Lab application. You can exclude from the scan files of certain formats, file masks, a certain area (for example, a folder or a program), application processes, or objects by threat type, according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification. Each task can be assigned a set of exclusions.
A situation when a Kaspersky Lab application considers a non-infected object to be infected because the object's code is similar to that of a virus.
Representation of a file name using wildcards. The standard wildcards used in file masks are * and ?, where * represents any number of any characters and ? stands for any single character.
A task defined for an administration group and executed on all the client computers included in that administration group.
An object which, due to its structure or format, can be used by intruders as a "container" to store and spread malicious code. As a rule, these are executable files, with such file extensions as .com, .exe, and .dll. The risk of penetration of malicious code into such files is quite high.
An object of which a portion of code completely matches part of the code of known malware. Kaspersky Lab does not recommend accessing such objects.
A list of Kaspersky Lab's HTTP and FTP servers from which the application downloads database updates to mobile devices.
A time-limited right to use the app, granted under the End User License Agreement.
A document provided to you by Kaspersky Lab together with a key file or an activation code. This document contains information about the license provided.
A policy determines the settings of an application and manages the access to configuration of an application installed on computers within an administration group. An individual policy must be created for each application. You can create an unlimited number of various policies for applications installed on computers in each administration group, but only one policy can be applied to each application at a time within an administration group.
Application settings that are common to all types of tasks and govern the overall operation of the application, such as application performance settings, report settings, and backup settings.
A computer network service which allows users to make indirect requests to other network services. First, a user connects to a proxy server and requests a resource (e.g., a file) located on another server. Then the proxy server either connects to the specified server and obtains the resource from it or returns the resource from its own cache (if the proxy has its own cache). In some cases, a user's request or a server's response can be modified by the proxy server for certain purposes.
The application's operating mode under which objects are scanned for the presence of malicious code in real time.
The application intercepts all attempts to open any object (read, write, or execute) and scans the object for threats. Uninfected objects are passed on to the user; objects containing threats or probably infected objects are processed according to the task settings (disinfected, deleted or quarantined).
Enables use of the application within the selected parameters (expiration date and number of devices). You can pause or resume your subscription, renew it automatically, or cancel it.
Functions performed by the Kaspersky Lab application are implemented as tasks, such as: Real-time file protection, Full computer scan, and Database update.
A task assigned for a set of client computers from arbitrary administration groups and performed on those hosts.
Application settings that are specific for each task type.
A function performed by a Kaspersky Lab application that enables it to keep computer protection up-to-date. During the update, an application downloads updates for its databases and modules from Kaspersky Lab update servers and automatically installs and applies them.
