Interface and Features
KIS 2020 has a very simple interface. At the top
of the window KIS displays the current status of
your Mac. Usually you’ll see a green checkmark and
confirmation that your Mac is protected.
Under that are four tiles: Scan, Update, Privacy
and Safe Kids (formerly Parental Control). The
interface will also show notifications from time to
time when it wants you to do something such as
enable the Kaspersky Security browser extension
or download the VPN. From the dashboard you
can also launch the Kaspersky Protection Center
where the app houses its recommendations and
your Mac’s protection status.
For scans you can run the usual full and quick
scans, and KIS 20 now automatically offers to
scan any USB drives you connect to your Mac.
The Privacy section lets you block webcam
access unless you authorize it, and automatically
block website tracking. There are also links to
download the Kaspersky password manager
and VPN.Kaspersky Internet
