The protection status indicator is located in the upper part of the main window. The color of the indicator reflects the protection status of the computer:

• Green. Protection of the computer is at the proper level. All protection components are functioning according to the settings recommended by Kaspersky Lab specialists. Kaspersky Anti-Virus databases are up-to-date. No malicious objects have been detected during scanning or all detected objects have been neutralized.
• Yellow. Protection of the computer is reduced. Problems have been encountered during use of Kaspersky Anti-Virus: for example, the application settings have been modified and do not match the recommended values, or the databases and application software modules have not been updated for several days.
• Red. There are problems that may lead to infection of the computer and loss of data. For example, some protection components have been paused or a failure has occurred in the operation of one or more protection components. The databases and application software modules may have not been updated for a long time, the application is not yet activated, or malicious objects that need to be neutralized have been detected.

• Clicking the protection status indicator opens the Notification Center window. This window displays a list of security problems that have been detected on the computer, recommendations on how to resolve problems and configure the application, and notifications about news from Kaspersky Lab.
