You can run a vulnerability scan for instance, which checks for known software and operating system vulnerabilities and suggests fixes for those found in a detailed report. You find plenty of other applications there as well. High restricted programs are blocked from accessing the webcam video stream for instance. low or high restricted, which define what a program can do on the system and what it cannot do. You can move applications from one group, e.g. Kaspersky displays information about each program there, for instance whether it is digitally signed and its popularity. From there, you can go even deeper by displayingÂ the application activity window which highlights all, running, and startup applications. Application control for instance lists then the number of programs that are monitored, and how many of those are actively running. You can click on any of these for additional details.

The Tools menu links to the most recent version of the rescue disk on the Kaspersky website. It enables you to boot the PC using the Rescue Disc to remove malicious software from it which prevents the PC from booting or cannot be removed while Windows is running. You may want to create a rescue disc on first run before you start running scans or make modifications to the application. There is for instance no option to save them to run them again at a later point in time, and custom scans cannot be scheduled on top of that. The program is a bit limited when it comes to custom scans. You can run full or quick scans, scan external devices (there is a prompt whenever one gets connected), or run custom scans.

Several types of scans are supported by the application. The program displays whether your PC is protected or not on start, and options to run scans, check for updates, use parental controls, and safe money.
