Kaspersky Antivirus 2011 Description:

Kaspersky Antivirus uses a unique virus detection technology based on heuristic analysis, which allows it to detect viruses that aren’t even known. It does this by monitoring the behavior of files and locking down those that seem to be engaging in suspicious activities. Kaspersky protects against viruses and malware of all kinds, even new ones that have not yet been identified.

Features of Kaspersky Antivirus:

Some of the features included in Kaspersky Antivirus are the ability to check files that are new or that have been changed since your system was last scanned, damage clean-up capabilities, and the Proactive Defense module that protects against unidentified threats. Kaspersky has plugins available that allow it to work with the Outlook Express e-mail client and TheBat! There is also a built-in registry monitor, which will alert you if a program attempts to change the information in the registry.

Kaspersky scans e-mail traffic that uses POP3, IMAP, NNTP, and SMTP protocols in addition to offering plugins for specific e-mail programs. While you are surfing online, Kaspersky actively scans your Internet activity to keep you safe from viruses and other malicious programs. You can also choose to scan any of the files on your computer at any time to check existing files for viruses.

Kaspersky also keeps programs from accessing and harvesting your personal data without your consent. There are many malicious programs that will attempt to steal your passwords and other confidential information in order to access your accounts or even steal your identity. Kespersky Antivirus detects these programs and stops them from accessing your sensitive data.

You can use Kaspersky to create a rescue disk that will allow you to restore your computer quickly in case of a virus attack. The program also has self-defense mechanisms built in to protect itself from viruses that attempt to disable your computer’s virus protection program before launching an attack.
