- Configuring application settings
- Quitting the application
- Removing the application
To password-protect access to control over Kaspersky Free:
- Open the main application window.
- Click the
button in the lower part of the window.
The Settings window opens.
- In the left part of the window, select the General section and click the Set up password protection link to open the Password protection window.
- In the window that opens, fill in the New password and Confirm password fields.
Password requirements:
- The password must contain at least eight characters
- The password must contain at least one digit
- The password must contain both uppercase and lowercase letters
