There is an excellent security feature called Safe Money in recent versions of Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Pure software. The Kaspersky Safe Money feature helps you make secure transactions when you visit a banking or any payment system website.
What’s Kaspersky Safe Money?
Basically, when you open the sign-in page of your bank’s or any other payment system website, the Kaspersky Safe Money feature in Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Pure checks its database to make sure that the webpage which is being opened is genuine and not a fake one, checks your PC for vulnerability critical for online banking, and then opens the webpage in Safe Money mode to protect your personal and financial data.
The other good thing about the Kaspersky Safe Money feature is that the security feature protects your clipboard data and unauthorized screenshot capturing when in Safe Money mode.
While Safe Money is a great feature, many users don’t want to see the webpage opening in a new window each time they visit the sign-in page of a banking or payment system webpage. If for any reason, you are not happy with Kaspersky Safe Money, you can turn off the feature under Settings.
Enable or disable Safe Money in Windows
The following steps and screenshots are based on Kaspersky Internet Security 2016. The procedure for other versions of Kaspersky Internet Security might be slightly different.
Step 1: Open Kaspersky Internet Security main window by double-clicking on its icon in the notification area of the taskbar.
Step 2: If you’re on KIS 2016, click on the Settings icon to open Settings dialog. If you’re on KIS 2015, you will need to click the Settings link instead.
Step 3: On the left-pane of Settings, click on the Protection tab to switch to the same.
Step 4: Look for the entry named Safe Money, and then change the toggle switch position next to the same to off position to disable the Kaspersky Safe Money feature.
From here on, whenever you visit a payment website, Kaspersky will not open the webpage in a protected mode.
Enable or disable Safe Money in Kaspersky Pure
Step 1: Open the Kaspersky Pure window by double-clicking on its icon in the system tray of the taskbar.
Step 2: Click Settings link to open Settings dialog.
Step 3: In the Settings dialog, click on the Protection tab to switch to the same.
Step 4: In the left pane, click the entry labeled Safe Money.
Step 5: On the right-side, uncheck the option labeled Enable Safe Money, and then click OK button to save the new setting.

Opening a new banking site, will my Karpesky safe money program automatically give protection to this new site? It works very well for my other banking site.
