About participation in Kaspersky Security Network

To protect your computer more effectively, Kaspersky Security uses data that is collected from users around the globe. Kaspersky Security Network is designed for gathering this data.

Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of online services that provides access to the online Kaspersky Lab Knowledge Base, which contains information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. Data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures faster response by Kaspersky Security to new threats, improves the performance of some protection components, and reduces the risk of false positives.

Thanks to users who participate in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky Lab is able to promptly gather information about types and sources of new threats, develop solutions for neutralizing them, and minimize the number of false positives.

When you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, certain statistics collected while Kaspersky Security is running are sent to Kaspersky Lab automatically. Files or their parts which may be exploited by intruders to harm the computer or data can be also sent to Kaspersky Lab to be examined additionally.

No personal data is collected, processed, or stored. The types of data that Kaspersky Security sends to Kaspersky Security Network are described in the KSN Statement.

Participation in Kaspersky Security Network is voluntary. The decision to participate in Kaspersky Security Network is taken during installation of Kaspersky Security, and can be changed at any time.
