Safe Run for Websites Safe Run for Websites is a KIS 2012 module which opens web pages without a risk of infection with malicious software. When you use Safe Run for Websites all web sites open in a virtual environment without affecting the operating system. The Safe Run for Websites is mainly designed for accessing online banking systems and other websites processing confidential data. You can start Safe Run for Websites on your own or configure the application settings so that the application would offer to switch to Safe Run for Websites automatically when definite conditions are met. For example, you can:

► Enable controlled access to online banking services. Upon an attempt to open a service that provides access to your finances, the application will offer you to switch to safe run for websites.

► Create your own list of websites that process confidential data. Upon an attempt to open such sites, the application will offer you to switch to safe run for websites.

► Enable control when transferring to potentially dangerous web sites. Upon an attempt to open such sites, the application will offer you to switch to safe run for websites to secure the system from a risk of infection.

When you use Safe Run for Websites, all changes (saved cookies, log of visited websites, etc.) remain in the safe environment and do not affect the operating system, which means that they cannot be exploited by intruders.
