Web Protection

Web Protection blocks malicious websites, which aim to distribute malicious code, and fake (phishing) websites, which aim to steal your confidential data, such as passwords for online banks, online auctions and payment systems, and gain access to your financial accounts.

With Web Protection, you can visit websites that have been checked and use personal data on the Internet safely.

Web Protection checks the website address before it is opened. Depending on the results of the check, Web Protection loads websites that are recognized as genuine, and blocks websites that are considered to be malicious.

To check websites, Web Protection connects to the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service. Kaspersky Security Network is an infrastructure of online services providing access to Kaspersky Lab operational knowledge base about the reliability of files, websites, and applications. The data in the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service comes from users of all Kaspersky Lab products, all over the world. Using the data of Kaspersky Security Network makes it possible to increase application speed, provides up-to-date protection, and also reduces the likelihood of false positives.

Web Protection only checks websites in the standard Android browser and does not check them in other browsers.

When it is enabled, Web Protection automatically checks which is the default browser. If Web Protection does not support the current default browser, Web Protection prompts you to change it to the standard Android browser.

To ensure websites are continuously checked, it is recommended to set the standard Android browser as the default browser.

If you do not want to change the current default browser, in order to use personal data on the Internet safely, launch the standard Android browser.

You can launch the standard Android browser from Kaspersky Tablet Security or from application menu of your device. If Web Protection is enabled, it will block fake websites before they are opened.
