Participating in the Kaspersky Security Network

A great number of new threats appear worldwide on a daily basis. You can join Kaspersky Security Network to speed up the collection of statistical data on types and sources of new threats and help develop methods to neutralize them.

Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of online services that provides access to the online Knowledge Base of Kaspersky Lab which contains information about reputation of files, web resources, and software. Using data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures an increased response time of Kaspersky Anti-Virus when encountering new types of threats, improves performance of some protection components, and reduces risk of false positives.

If you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, certain statistics collected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus on your computer are automatically sent to Kaspersky Lab.

No personal user data is collected, processed or stored.
