Kaspersky Anti-Virus Software

Kaspersky Lab is a computer security company that was founded in Russia in 1997. This international company has offices in Europe, Asia, and the United States. It produces many products including antivirus software that they sell themselves and license for use to dozens of other software companies. At present Kaspersky software is widely used in Asia and Eastern Europe but has not yet made it big in North America and Western Europe. Kaspersky claims a total of 250 million users for their full range of products. As always, prior to any purchase make sure that the software meets your needs, evaluating it against the competition.

According to the company and to PC World Magazine, Kaspersky antivirus software provides the fastest updates for new virus and security threats in the industry. Let’s see what else this software claims to do. Remember to check out competitors’ claims as well. This program protects your computer from a series of on-line nuisances and threats including adware, spyware, Trojan horses, viruses, and worms. It disconnects you from malware and phishing sites. It blocks keyloggers, programs that grab your keystrokes often as a way of stealing your passwords. Its updates install themselves automatically. While this software is not free, technical support is.

In addition, the program claims the fastest file scanning. When file scanning is slow users are often tempted to save time by skipping this essential operation. They initially save time but leave themselves open to a virus attack. An interesting and unusual feature lets your computer report when it discovers a unfamiliar threat. Just think of the thrill of having the first computer in the world to be infected with a spanking new virus. You may get Andy Warhol’s fifteen minutes of fame. Seriously, anti-virus software must constantly be on the lookout for new threats. Computer virus makers never give up.

Even Linux systems may be virus infected.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans email traffic in real-time and provides disinfection routines for email databases associated with popular email programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express. It also scans all HTTP Internet traffic in real-time no matter which browser you use. You can scan any and all files on demand. The system steps you through the process of creating a rescue disk. One of its special functions is the ability to roll back the computer, resetting the system to exactly how it was just before the virus was detected.
