Here is some good news for you. We\u2019ve just launched new the versions of Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Total Security for Windows! The new product line has become more powerful and enhanced to ensure your privacy and security. <\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s new?<\/h3>\n

First of all, we have enriched the design and usability of the main screens for all the new line products. It\u2019s not a major change but we had to mention. Now, that we have that out of the way, let\u2019s switch to more serious matters.<\/p>\n

You probably know that all of your software should be as \u201cfresh\u201d<\/a> as the meat and vegetables you serve for dinner. Outdated software contains bugs and vulnerabilities, which hackers often use to infect devices with malware. However, many users don\u2019t pay enough attention to managing their software updates or simply have no time for that. Users who install Kaspersky Internet Security 2017<\/a> and Kaspersky Total Security 2017<\/a> can now have this managed by our software.<\/p>\n

The new Software Update<\/b> module monitors your system for updates that need to be installed. When the module determines that your software requires security patches, it downloads all necessary files from the vendors\u2019 websites<\/b> and installs them with no interaction with the user needed. The exception to this is if additional confirmations are required. The Software Update module was designed to maximize your convenience: it works in silent mode and provides minimum impact on device performance. If you want, you can disable this feature or use it in manual mode.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also possible to create a customized list of software that you don\u2019t want to update \u2014 for example, if you prefer an older version for some reason.

Let\u2019s talk about another new feature. There\u2019s no need to remind you that public Wi-Fi can be dangerous: sometimes criminals set up fake free Wi-Fi to steal users\u2019 personal data and money. However it\u2019s hardly possible to stop using public networks completely \u2014 many people need Internet while travelling.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve developed the Secure Connection<\/b> feature. It provides secure and encrypted communication channels for users connected to untrusted networks (like public Wi-Fi). In other words, the Secure Connection module guarantees that all data which is sent and received is encrypted and secured from prying eyes.<\/p>\n

Depending on active settings, this module can be automatically enabled when the user:<\/p>\n
