When suspicious or unrecognizable data is encountered on those systems, it’s automatically analyzed by our lab, and real-time, protective updates are issued to all of our users, giving you the ultimate protection as new threats emerge.

Two-Way Firewall
Kaspersky’s best-in-class, two-way firewall provides a secure perimeter around your PC to keep hackers out. But it also provides protection in the opposite direction by controlling what’s transmitted from your PC to the outside world, stopping malware from sending out your personal information. It’s one more layer of defense keeping your personal information from falling into the wrong hands.

Anti-Spam
Spam can be more than an annoyance—it can be a vehicle for delivering malware to your PC. Kaspersky utilizes the latest cloud technologies and advanced behavioral analysis to quickly and efficiently recognize and block new spam.

Advanced Protection

Proactive Detection of Unknown Malware
The latest Kaspersky technologies proactively seek out suspicious activity on your system—without draining performance. Potential threats are monitored and analyzed with real-time, cloud technologies, and dangerous actions are completely blocked before they can cause any harm.

Rollback of Malware Changes
Kaspersky’s multiple layers of protection are your best defense against cybercrime, delivering premium protection from new and emerging threats. And if an unknown piece of malware does manage to find its way onto your system, Kaspersky’s unique System Watcher will detect the dangerous behavior and allow you to undo most unwanted and harmful activity.

Safe Run*
Kaspersky’s innovative Safe Run mode provides an added layer of protection for running suspicious or unknown applications, files, emails, and websites. The “safe desktop” mimics your actual desktop, but is completely walled-off from your data and PC settings, so you can test-drive anything suspicious with total confidence that no harm will come to your system. *Works on 32-bit operating systems

One-Click Security Checks
The security status and reputation of any application, executable, or script is now at your fingertips. With a single mouse-click, File Advisor uses cloud technologies to instantly send you information such as filename, size, date created and last modified, threat rating, digital signature, geography, distribution, and other Kaspersky users’ level of trust. Now you can make more informed decisions about the files you’d like to access.

Application Control
Kaspersky’s unique Application Control uses real-time, cloud-based threat intelligence to determine security privileges for every application you launch—without impacting system performance. Unknown or suspicious applications are watched or restricted from potentially-harmful actions, and potentially dangerous applications are completely blocked from harming your system.

Vulnerability Detection
One of the easier ways for cybercriminals to find a hole in your protection is through application and system vulnerabilities that haven’t been updated with the latest fixes. Kaspersky Internet Security finds these vulnerabilities, and assists in patching the holes in your protection before they can be exploited by viruses, spyware, and identity thieves.

The latest Kaspersky technologies allow you to fully enjoy social networking, knowing your Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts won’t receive malicious links or software from your friends.

Now you don’t have to worry about a perfectly legitimate and trusted English-language website being compromised and sending you malware from an overseas server.

Identity Protection

Anti-Phishing Defense
Phishing attacks are becoming more common, and much more tricky. It’s increasingly difficult to know if an email is really from your bank, for example, or a cybercriminal trying to lure you into revealing confidential information. Kaspersky uses cloud technologies to update and reference an online database of phishing websites in real-time, and proactively analyzes URL’s, so new phishing attacks are caught as soon as they emerge. You can be confident that your digital identity is always safe.

Online Banking Mode*
Online banking is incredibly convenient, and Kaspersky makes it safer than ever. Simply enable Kaspersky’s unique Online Banking mode and your financial websites will automatically open in a special walled-off environment. This extra layer of security keeps hackers out and ensures your financial information is always safe.
*Works on 32-bit operating systems

Virtual Keyboard

It’s one more layer of defense ensuring the safety of your digital identity.

Family Protection

Performance
