Chapter 1. Kaspersky®Security
for PDA
1.1. Purpose and main functions
Kaspersky®Security for the PDA software package is developed to protect PDA
of various types from viruses and unauthorized access .
Kaspersky®Security for PDA allows the user to:
• secure from computer viruses on various types of PDA: with the Palm OS
and the Pocket PC operating systems (i.e. PDA running Palm OS and
PDA running Pocket PC).
• protect pocket devices from viruses entering the device system during
synchronization with a desktop, during data communication with another
PDA via the IRD port, or with mail messages. The program checks for vi-
ruses in network folders and on memory expansion cards.
• upload the latest anti-virus databases via the Internet.
• encrypt and password your PDA data.
Kaspersky®Security for the PDA software package includes the following
components :
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Pocket PC is developed to protect from vi-
ruses on PDA running Pocket PC. The anti-virus scanner checks for vi-
ruses in data storage locations and also on expansion cards and in net-
work folders mounted under. The product allows downloading updates
from the Internet directly to a PDA if the latter has an Internet connection.
The anti-virus database updating utility allows you to keep your protection
system at peak functionality.
• Kaspersky DataSafe for Pocket PC is developed to protect confidential
data on PDA running Pocket PC from unauthorized access. The program

Kaspersky®Security for PDA 9
allows you to create confidential folders containing encrypted and pass-
worded data. The data can be saved using the PDA applications within
the confidential folders in the same way as they are usually saved onto
memory expansion cards.
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Palm OS is developed to protect from viruses
on PDA running Palm OS. The program monitors all the data traffic that
can be used by viruses to enter your PDA. The anti-virus scanner checks
for viruses in data storage locations: main memory and expansion cards.
The anti-virus monitor intercepts viruses in data transferred to PDA using
the HotSync or the Beam technology. The anti-virus database updating
utility allows you to keep your protection system at peak functionality.
• Kaspersky DataSafe for Palm OS is developed to protect confidential
data on PDA running Palm OS from unauthorized access. The program
allows you to lock the PDA at a certain timestamp manually or at the time
the computer is turned off. To unlock the PDA, the user is required to en-
ter a password. Encryption of data stored on the PDA and the locking are
performed simultaneously. Therefore, even if a violator accesses the
memory contents of the locked PDA, he/she cannot extract information
without the password.
Kaspersky®DataSafe for Palm OS does not function on PDA
running Palm OS 5.0; therefore Kaspersky®DataSafe compo-
nent for Palm OS is not installed for that version of the operating
system.
Installation of the program and updating of the anti-virus databases are
performed using a desktop connected to the PDA via a cord and the
PDA-to-desktop connecting programs supplied with your PDA.
1.2. Distribution kit
Kaspersky®Security for the PDA software product is supplied via the Internet
(the program installation files and the documentation). The key-file is supplied by
email to the address defined by the customer at the online-shop or at the
Kaspersky Labs partner.
