Kaspersky Anti-Virus comprises the special Anti-Hacker component to ensure your security on local networks and on the
Internet. It protects your computer on the network and application level and masks your computer on the network to
prevent attacks.
Internet. It protects your computer on the network and application level and masks your computer on the network to
prevent attacks.
Based on the two Anti-Hacker protection levels, there are two rule types:
Rules for packet filtering. Used to impose general restrictions on network activity, regardless of the applications
installed. For example: if you create a packet rule that blocks inbound connections to Port 21, no applications
that use that port (an FTP server, for example) will be accessible from the outside.

that use that port (an FTP server, for example) will be accessible from the outside.
Rules for applications. Used to impose restrictions on network activity for specific applications. For example: if
connections to Port 80 are blocked for each application, you can create a rule that allows connections to that
port for Firefox browser only.

There are two types of rules which allow or block some applications and network packets. Kaspersky Anti-Virus
installation package includes a set of rules that regulate network activity for the most common applications and using the
most common protocols and ports. Kaspersky Anti-Virus installation package also includes a set of allow rules for trusted
applications whose network activity is not cause for suspicion.

To make settings and rules user-friendlier, Kaspersky Anti-Virus breaks down the entire network space into security
zones, which largely correspond to the subnetworks that your computer belongs to. You can assign a status to each zone
(Internet, Local Network, Trusted), which will determine the policy for applying rules and network activity monitoring in
that zone.

A special feature of Anti-Hacker, called Stealth Mode, prevents the computer from being detected from the outside. Thus,
the hackers lose the object of attack. This mode does not affect your computer's performance on the Internet (under
condition that your computer is not used as a server).
