Latest Kaspersky Suite Overloads on Security
Kaspersky Lab has pre-announced its latest all-in-one security suite with the lure that it has packed even more protection layers of into one software product.
A look at the features list and the claim stands up well, assuming they work correctly against real-world threats. Internet Security 2010, available from July, covers the standard bases of file-based malware with more complex intermediate threats types that try to attack PCs through web, email and instant messaging ports.
Under a slick-looking interface, the product also includes a two-way soft firewall, an anti-spam filter and a list of interesting features to 'tweak' security beyond simply turning it on and hoping it stops malware. There is a feature to create a rescue disk should the PC become so infected that a clean restart is necessary, and a tool to analyse a PC's behaviour in more detail if malware activity is suspected.
