PROTECTION AGAINST PHISHING
This section describes the functions of Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer. These functions are missing in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for File Server.
Phishing is a type of online fraud that involves tricking users into disclosing their credit card numbers, PIN codes and other privacy data with the objective of stealing funds.
Phishing often targets online banking users. Criminals create an exact copy of the website of a chosen bank and send emails to customers on behalf of this bank. They claim that a malfunction or replacement of online banking system software has resulted in the loss of user details, necessitating the user to confirm or modify such details on the bank's website. Users click the link that takes them to the fake website and enter their details, which then end up in the hands of criminals.
Protection against phishing is ensured by Anti-Phishing implemented in the Web Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and IM Anti-Virus components. Enable these components to ensure comprehensive protection against phishing.
To enable components providing protection against phishing:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the top part of the window, click the Settings link.
3. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Web Anti-Virus component. 4. In the right part of the window, check the Enable Web Anti-Virus box.

VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
When working on your computer, there are occasions when entering of your personal data, or username and password are required. For instance, when registering on Internet sites, using online stores etc.
There is a risk that this personal information is intercepted using hardware keyboard interceptors or keyloggers, which are programs that register keystrokes.
The Virtual Keyboard tool prevents the interception of data entered via the keyboard.
Virtual Keyboard cannot protect your personal data if the website, that required entering such data, has been hacked, since in this case the information will be obtained directly by the intruders.
Many of the applications classified as spyware have the function of making screenshots which are then transferred to an intruder for further analysis and for stealing the user's personal data. Virtual Keyboard prevents the personal data being entered, from being intercepted with the use of screenshots.
The Virtual Keyboard only prevents the interception of privacy data when working with Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers.
To start using Virtual Keyboard:
1. Open the main application window.
2. In the left part of the window, select the Tools section.
3. Click the Virtual Keyboard button in the right part of the window.
4. Enter the required data by pressing the buttons on the virtual keyboard. Make sure that data is entered in the correct field. When you press function keys (SHIFT, ALT, CTRL) on the virtual keyboard, that particular mode will be fixed: for example, when you press SHIFT all symbols will be entered in the upper case. To exit the special mode, press the same functional key again.
You can switch the language for the virtual keyboard using the key combination CTRL + right-clicking SHIFT, or CTRL
+right-clicking ALT, depending on the settings selected.
PASSWORD MANAGER
This section describes the functions of Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for Personal Computer. These functions are missing in Kaspersky Small Office Security 2 for File Server.
Password Manager makes it possible to store different personal data (for example, user names, passwords, addresses, phone and credit card numbers).
All information is stored in encrypted form in the Password Database, access to which is protected by a Master Password. Password Manager sticks passwords and accounts to Microsoft Windows applications and web pages for which they are used. After launching a web page or application, Password Manager automatically enters the password, user name and other personal data. Thus, you need not remember all the passwords, you only need to remember one password.
To use Password Manager to automatically fill out the authorization form, do the following:
