4. Fine tuning Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
That completes the installation, however there are a couple of settings in Kaspersky which we suggest you change in order to make it a little more user friendly:
- Mail dispatcher intercepts email and prompts you each time you do a send/receive - this can be a little tiresome.
- Self-Defense is enabled by default and stops us from accessing it to resolve any problems during a PCAnywhere session.
To change the settings:
right click on Kaspersky icon in system tray...
and select Settings from the menu.
Click on Content Filtering in left hand window pane then click on the first Settings button
Click on Open Mail Dispatcher when receiving email... to clear the tick.
Click [OK]
Click on Options in left hand window pane then click on Enable Self-Defense to clear the tick.
Click [OK]
