The Kaspersky Network Agent is a function of the program that regulates the interface between its Administration Server and the actual customer functions of the Antivirus function. Applications interact with customers on the local area network by means of the Administration Server.

The Network Agent module is installed on client machines to enable interaction with the Administration Server and the local antivirus Installations. When the server component is installed, a special version of the Network Agent module is also installed on that system. This version cannot be uninstalled; it can only be removed along with the Administration Server component.

The installation package for the remote installation of the Network Agent cannot be created manually. The installation requires specific parameters of the Administration Server that it will be connecting to. This will be generated when you prepare the Network Agent Deployment package to install it on other machines.

What is a Rootkit? They are programs that can provide privileged access to a system while avoiding detection by intercepting and subverting system functionality.

It can be quite adept at hiding from a security program. Clearly these programs need to be able to see which components are potential threats in order to deal with them. It can be written to throw smokescreens in the face of such programs to make identification difficult. Specialized security programs employ successful methods to locate and clear them out that are well known and also assist in neutralizing suspected ones.
