License Website

Kaspersky Internet Security- software package for comprehensive protection personal computers. The program provides: antivirus protection, protection against network attacks, spam, unknown threats, Internet fraud and allows you to control computer users’ access to the Internet.

Real-time computer protection is provided by the following protection components:

Each request to a file is intercepted by Kaspersky Internet Security, and the file is scanned for the presence of known viruses. Further work with the file is possible only if the file is not infected or has been successfully disinfected by the program. If for some reason the file cannot be disinfected, it will be deleted (and a copy of it will be saved in backup storage) or quarantined.

Based on the actions performed, Kaspersky Internet Security decides whether the program is potentially dangerous or not. Thus, your computer is protected not only from already known viruses, but also from new ones that have not yet been studied. Starting from version 2010, Kaspersky Internet Security includes the System Watcher component, which is essentially the same Proactive Defense, but differs in the ability to update program behavior patterns when regular update program signatures. Starting from version 2013, System Monitor and Proactive Defense have been combined into one component, under the general name "System Monitor".

None today Windows user can't do without an antivirus. After all, every day all sorts of attackers try to gain access to personal data or simply mischief ordinary users. And the creators of antiviruses also have to improve their products every day so that they can defeat absolutely all possible threats.


One of the best antiviruses today is Kaspersky Internet Security. This is a truly powerful weapon against viruses! For many years, Kaspersky Internet Security has held the title of a real heavyweight in the war against them. No other antivirus can match it in the way it fights all kinds of threats. Yes, today there is Avast Free Antivirus, Nod32, AVG, and many other antiviruses. But after using Kaspersky Internet Security once, users usually do not want to switch to something else. And all thanks to truly reliable protection provided by advanced technologies in the fight against virus threats.

Kaspersky Internet Security instantly scans all files, programs and sites on the Internet that the user visits. If any threat occurs, a message immediately appears indicating the presence of the threat, as well as ways to solve it. This way, the infected file can be deleted, disinfected, or quarantined.

If a user visits a site that poses a threat and contains virus programs, Kaspersky Internet Security notifies him about this directly in the browser window. In this case, the person simply will not be able to access the site, because the program will block him. It is worth saying that erroneous identification of sites as malicious is extremely rare.

The results of continuous monitoring of programs and the network can be seen if you click on the “Additional tools” button in the main program window. Here in the diagrams you can see the memory and processor load, as well as the amount of information received and sent to the network. It also displays a general report on the work of Kaspersky Internet Security - how many threats were neutralized, how many network attacks and programs were blocked for the selected period of time.

Anti-phishing protection

Internet scammers who create fake websites to trick people into entering personal information, including payment information, are not a problem for Kaspersky Internet Security. This antivirus has long been famous for its anti-phishing system, which will not allow a person to go to a fake site and leave their data somewhere. Kaspersky Internet Security has its own unique criteria by which the program can recognize a phishing site or phishing attack, as well as the databases of such sites.

Parental control

Kaspersky Internet Security has very useful system protection for parents whose children also use their computer. You can access this system from the main program window. It is protected by a password that parents enter upon first launch parental controls.

This system allows you to block access to certain programs for a certain time or allow the computer to be turned on only for a certain period of time, for example, one hour. Parents can also make the computer take breaks at certain intervals, for example, every hour. These options are available separately for weekdays and separately for weekends.

All of the above functions are available in the “Computer” tab of the parental control system. In the “Programs” tab, you can restrict the launch of games and programs for users under 18 years of age. There you can also configure different categories of programs, each of which will be launched only for certain users.

In the “Internet” tab, you can limit Internet access to a certain certain value. For example, the Internet will be available only for one hour a day. You can also limit visiting sites for adults, sites that contain scenes of violence and other content that is not necessary for children and, in general, for all people without mental disabilities. There is a safe search function here that will prevent the user from finding information with this very content.

The “Communication” tab allows you to prohibit communication with specific contacts from social networks. For now, you can add contacts from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace here.

Finally, in the “Content Control” tab, parents can set up real surveillance of their child. This way they can know which words he uses most often when communicating with other people and in search queries. They may also prohibit the transfer of anything related to personal information to third parties. Here we are talking about bank accounts, addresses and similar data. It works very simply - if a child writes a message to someone, for example, the number of the parent bank card, it is automatically erased.

Making secure payments

Kaspersky Internet Security has a very effective system for making secure payments. In theory, it works simply; for attackers, intercepting personal data becomes an impossible task. When a user makes a payment, their payment information is temporarily stored on the clipboard. This is where the Kaspersky Internet Security system begins its work - it additionally encrypts all information in the buffer.

In more detail, the secure payment system makes it almost impossible to take snapshots while data is being transferred. This is exactly the technique that attackers use to access personal data that is in the buffer - they simply photograph the screen using software. But the combination of the hypervisor, DirectX® and OpenGL makes this procedure almost impossible.

This system starts automatically. And when you open the site payment system the user will see a message asking him to open the site in a so-called secure browser, that is, using this very secure payment system. By clicking on the appropriate button, the user will start operating the system from Kaspersky Internet Security.

Privacy protection

Nowadays, small programs that end up on the computer are also common. regular user and begin to collect all information about him, including payment information. Attackers also try to gain access to the webcam to find out more information about their victim. So, the “Privacy Protection” function in Kaspersky Internet Security will not allow them to do this.

And so that they do not have a single chance to commit their evil deeds, the program can also delete log data, cookies, command history and all that information from which personal data can be taken.

To get to this menu, you need to click the “Additional functions” button in the main program window.

Safe Programs Mode

In the same menu additional functions Safe programs mode is available. If you enable it, then only those programs that are listed in the Kaspersky Lab database as those that can be trusted will be launched on the computer.

Protection on all devices

By logging into My Kaspersky, you can ensure protection on your smartphone, tablet and netbook. Moreover, all this can be managed via the Internet using remote access. This function is available after going to the “Online Management” tab in the list of additional functions.

Protection from the cloud

This technology allows users to record information about emerging threats in the cloud so that others can deal with it faster. All information about emerging threats and viruses immediately falls into cloud storage, is checked for information about it and entered into the database. This approach allows you to update the virus database online, that is, instantly. Without cloud-based protection, virus databases would be updated manually, allowing new viruses to infect the computer without the antivirus's knowledge.

There is also information about websites in the cloud. It works very simply - a person goes to a site and, if it is safe (no threats have arisen, a virus has not entered the computer, etc.), then the database is recorded as one that can be trusted. Otherwise, it is recorded in the database as not trusted, and when another Kaspersky Internet Security user visits it, he will see a message about the danger of this site.

Search for system vulnerabilities

Part of the Kaspersky Internet Security program allows you to check your system for vulnerabilities. During the scan, absolutely all files will be checked. The programs will look for code fragments that are unprotected and through which attackers can gain access to data or a virus can enter the computer. This code will be further protected or the file will be deleted if it is not needed.

Recovery after infection

After a computer has been attacked by a virus, Kaspersky Internet Security can scan for damage caused by the virus and repair it. Some files will have to be deleted, but in most cases a special system will be used that allows you to restore damaged files, referring to their past versions recorded in the system.

Support

Any user can get help from a Kaspersky Lab operator or read about their problem in the database. To do this, just click on the support icon in the main program window. There you can also read recommendations for setting up the program and chat with other users on the forum.

Customizable

In the Kaspersky Internet Security settings window, you can not only change the password and disable some program functions, but also start a power saving mode or otherwise achieve less consumption of computer resources. For example, you can make sure that when you start your computer, only the most important parts of Kaspersky Internet Security are launched, and not all at once. This approach will allow you to gradually use your computer's resources, rather than immediately putting too much stress on the system.

Another interesting approach is to perform the main tasks of the program while the computer is idle. This means that when the user works with big amount other programs, only real-time protection will work in Kaspersky Internet Security. Everything else will be disabled and the update will not run. All this can be configured by clicking on the settings icon.

Advantages

  1. Very powerful protection against all kinds of viruses and spyware.
  2. A large number of additional functions, such as making secure payments and parental controls.
  3. Wide range of customization options.
  4. Russian language.
  5. Customer support is good.

Flaws

  1. Despite the use of different approaches to reduce the load on the computer, on weak machines Kaspersky Internet Security still greatly slows down the operation of the entire system.

Today, Kaspersky Internet Security can rightfully be called a very serious threat to attackers. This is a real warrior in the fight against viruses, who will truly fight with all possible means against all kinds of threats to the security of a particular computer. Kaspersky Internet Security has a paid license, but you can pay for such wide functionality and truly high-quality virus protection. Therefore, if reliability is important to you, choose Kaspersky Internet Security.
