The only issue now is that you share a computer with your child.

Like any parent, you prefer to err on the side of safety and want to ensure that your child cannot disable the product or change application settings, thus inadvertently decreasing the security level on your computer and causing the potential loss of all your data.

To avoid this type of disaster we recommend restricting access to the program by password protecting Kaspersky PURE. At the top of the settings window, select the ‘Password’ tab and check the ‘Enable password’ protection box. Next, specify your password.
