Untitled Document Antivirus protection
Kaspersky’s award-winning antivirus software defends your PC against all types of malware, including: - Computer viruses
- Trojan viruses
- Worms
- Rootkits
- Bots... and more
Cloud-assisted technology enables real-time protection
Safe Money feature will: - Compare the website’s URL with a database of secure sites
- Check the certificate used to set up the secure connection—to avoid any behind-the-scenes transition from your intended site to a ‘fake’ site
- Check your system for online banking
Preventing the exploitation of software vulnerabilities
If your PC’s operating system – or the applications running on your PC – contain any vulnerabilities because they’ve not had the latest software patches or fixes applied, Kaspersky’s Automatic Exploit Prevention technology will: - Control the launch of executable files from applications that contain vulnerabilities
- Assess how executable files behave – identifying similarities with malware programs
- Restrict how vulnerable applications are allowed to operate
Protection against screen lockers
Blocker Trojan viruses can prevent you from using your PC until you pay ‘ransom’ money for the blocker’s restrictions to be removed. If a cybercriminal ever uses a Blocker Trojan to try and take control of your PC, just activate Kaspersky’s protection against screen lockers and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 will: - Halt any dangerous processes
- Launch the relevant virus treatment procedures
Efficient updates for antivirus databases
Because Kaspersky ensures that your computer only needs to store relatively small antivirus databases, your PC benefits from: - Minimal impact on performance
- Quicker installation and updates for your Kaspersky antivirus software
URL Advisor
By using cloud-based data about the reputation of websites, the Kaspersky URL Advisor alerts you about links to suspicious and dangerous sites. It provides colour-coded icons that show you whether a link is ‘trusted’, ‘suspicious’ or ‘dangerous’.
Anti-phising protection
With its regularly updated database, Kaspersky’s anti-phishing engine helps to defend you against Internet fraudsters’ attempts to access your personal information.
System Watcher
In the unlikely event of your PC becoming infected with malware, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 includes Kaspersky’s unique System Watcher technology that: - Detects dangerous behaviour on your computer
- Enables you to roll back or undo most types of malicious action
Minimal Consumption of PC resources
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 has minimal impact on general network activity and the installation of applications: - Launch of applications
- Launch of web browsers
Rapid start-up, shutdown and reaction times
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 has been optimised to deliver: - Faster start-up
- Quicker shutdown
- Rapid response when you select security settings and commands
Longer battery life
If you’re running a laptop on battery power, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 automatically limits its use of resources. This helps to ensure your laptop can operate for a longer period before its battery needs to be recharged.
Optimised for Windows
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 has been optimised for Windows 8.
Streamlined settings
The main interface now only includes frequently used settings – so they’re easier to use and navigate.
Automatic upgrades
New versions of Kaspersky Anti-Virus can be automatically installed on your PC – without you having to perform any update action or respond to any prompts – to make it even easier for you to ensure you always have the latest protection.
Improved virus scan features
The redesigned Task Manager makes it easier to view the status of scanning processes – and see how Kaspersky’s security processes are making use of your PC’s resources.
