Threat Protection
Realtime protection for your PC, especially Windows powered machines is critical even if you own a firewall. Already protecting more than 250 million machines, Kaspersky continues to get better each year and their slick interface is easy to use.
The key to successfully countering threats is to have the most up-to-date virus definitions possible. Kaspersky excels in this by delivering hourly updates that are smaller in size. Kaspersky software knows when you’re playing a game or using resources and minimizes the performance impact by throttling back behind-the-scenes scanning. Another unique feature is the Kaspersky on-screen virtual keyboard which can be used on websites to enter sensitive data such as credit card numbers or banking passwords – they can’t be tracked by keyboard sniffers.
Paying for anti-virus supports provides you not only with current virus definitions, it also provides you with free telephone support. If it’s one piece of paid software to own, this is it.
Kaspersky offers 3 core products catering to the home/SOHO market:
- Realtime antivirus protection including those received via email, IM or website downloads.
- ISwift – minimizes the performance impact by determining the available PC resources.
- IChecker – minimizes the performance impact by scanning only files that have changed since the last scan.
- Efficient, hourly updates.
