Using the Kaspersky Antivirus Console The Kaspersky antivirus console enables you to view and manage the antivirus updates on all AHSS LTCcontrolled computers. The console is tied to the main server from I.T. Services.

To enter the antivirus console, launch the Kaspersky Security Center by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. This will bring up the Security Center homepage. The homepage gives you a general overview of the server status.

Agents and Clients Two main components in the console are agents and clients. The agent is the network that the computers are organized in. The agent houses and distributes updates, installation packages, tasks, and policies. The network agent (Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent 9.2.69) used is a public share folder from I.T. Services. This folder is located in \\computer_name\KLSHARE\Packages\NetAgent_9.2.69.

Inside the network agent you will find the clients, or “computers� within the network.
