Let's take closer look at the new features in Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations MP2:
New Protection Features:
- Now Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations 6.0 MP2 not only protects you from known malicious programs, but programs that have not yet been discovered as well. The Proactive Defense component is the number one advantage of the program. It is designed to analyze the behavior of applications installed on your computer, to monitor changes to the system registry, and to track macros executed. This process keeps a history of malicious activity. Depending on the type and severity of such activity the system can be restored to the state prior to the malicious activity.
- Intellectual working mode of the File Anti-Virus component allows taking a decision whether to scan the object or not based on the analysis of the operations set and sequence performed with the object
- Protection is provided from masking programs and auto-dialers. Pop-up windows are blocked.
- the components Mail Anti-Virus and Web Anti-Virus have now the possibility to check the data transferred by secure connection (SSL)
- The Advanced Disinfection technology allows installing the Anti-Virus on the already infected computer and disinfect the operating system from malicious programs started in the operating system
- Rescue Disk can be created to restore the operating system efficiency after the virus attack or if the OS fails to boot.
- The file protection technology for the user's computer has changed: now you can decrease the load and increase the speed of file scans. This is achieved by only scanning new or altered files. By operating this way, the program rules out repeat scans of files that have not been changed since the last scan.
- The scan process now runs in the background while you work. A scan can take up a fair amount of time and system resources, but the user can perform his work simultaneously. If any operation requires system resources, the virus scan will be paused until that operation is completed. The scan then resumes from the point where it left off.
- Scanning critical areas of the computer which could lead to serious consequences if infected are set aside for a separate task. You can configure this task to run every time the system is started.
- Mail protection from malicious programs and spam has been significantly improved. The program scans all mail, regardless of the mail client you use. HTTP, IMAP, MAPI, SMTP, NNTP, and POP3 traffic is monitored for viruses and spam.
- Special plug-ins are available for widely used mail clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and TheBat! that can configure mail protection directly in the mail system both from viruses and from spam.
- Anti-Spam is trained as you work with the mail in your inbox, taking into account all the details of how you deal with mail and providing maximum flexibility in configuring spam detection. The Bayes algorithm lies at the foundation of the training. You can create "black" and "white" lists of addressees and key phrases that would mark an e-mail as spam.
- Anti-Spam uses a phishing database. It can cut off e-mails that are designed to obtain confidential information of a financial nature.
- When working on a network, you can also define on your own what network to trust 100% and which to monitor with absolute strictness.
- The user notification function has been expanded for certain events that arise during program operation. You can select the method of notification yourselves for each of these events: e-mails, sound notifications, pop-up messages.
New Program Interface Features
- The new Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations MP2 interface makes the functions of the program simple and easy to use. You can also change the appearance of the program by creating and using your own graphics and color schemes.
