PC antivirus protection tools

Antivirus software goes a long way to keep you safe, but other security features such as encryption technology and password manager can help protect you from online threats even more.

Encryption tools

Before the days of the internet, encryption was used by the military but wasn’t in public use. Today, however, encryption technology is an important feature in many people’s day-to-day lives.

An encryption program encodes plain text into non-readable form to keep it private. This technology is used whenever you connect to a secure website, whereby your web browser will automatically encrypt information sent to and from that site.

You can also encrypt an entire drive on your computer. You can still access the files as normal, but when you are not using them they return to an encrypted state and makes them unreadable to others.

The best encryption software is a program that employs the latest encryption technology to keep you safe. For example, Kaspersky’s KryptoStorage is a personal digital vault using secure encryption to protect your personal files against unauthorized access and data theft.

Password protection

Another way to keep your data safe and secure is to use a password keeper, also known as a password manager. This software helps users organise passwords and PINs for online use.

It protects your digital identity by making the process of entering passwords and other data onto websites automatic. It uses encryption to keep your passwords safe and keeps them in a dedicated database on your computer.

Kaspersky has a dedicated Password Manager that provides ultimate protection against your login information being stolen.
