Problems have been encountered during use of Kaspersky Internet Security: 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.
