Kaspersky AntiVirus Personal Professional Virus Protection For Personal Computers

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal was specifically developed to protect personal computers. It has a clean and simple interface, a central management system and operates automatically - constantly running in the background, standing guard against threats to your computer and valuable data. If a virus attempts to penetrate a system the program automatically determines the threat source and neutralizes it; all is quickly and easily done with minimal user involvement.

NEW FEATURES!

·	Intuitive user interface

Accelerated performance of your computer applications resulting from the optimized architecture of Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner and Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor. These programs are now each divided into two sub-programs: functional and interface. This division allows the programs to continue operating even with the interface sub-program unloaded.

·	Improved setup utility allowing you to keep user settings of KasperskyAnti-Virus® Control Center and/or Kaspersky Anti-Virus Updater running on your computer.

·	Improved Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner command line.

·	Ensures the retention of recoverable data when the program is preset to delete infected objects.

·	Quarantine. An easy-to-use tool allows isolation of infected files that can be later restored. In combination with the removal of infected objects, if the program fails to disinfect a file, this tool provides full-scale protection against viruses while ensuring the retention of recoverable data.

·	Reliable control over all sources of virus propagation

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal consistently controls all possible "doors" that can be used by viruses attempting to "worm" into your computer via e-mail, the Internet, diskettes, CDs etc. The program does not allow viruses to reside in any location on the computer, including in system memory, boot sectors, files, and mail databases. The combined use of these tools allows you to prevent a successful virus attack on your computer.

Efficient real-time anti-virus protection : The unique background running virus-interceptor, Monitor for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP, permanently resides in your computer's memory, checking for viruses in files while they are started, created or copied. Unlike other interceptors, Monitor integrates itself into the deepest level of your operating system. It allows the program to comprehensively control all the file operations and prevent attacks of even the most technologically advanced viruses. Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Monitor performs the check for viruses in the memory of running programs right after it is loaded, and also every time you update your anti-virus databases. If the infected memory of a program cannot be disinfected, this program is forced to abort the performance. When running under Windows NT/2000/XP the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Monitor program operates as a system service. The improved interception of system calls to the infected files increased stability of the operating system.

Permanent e-mail anti-virus filtration : Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal automatically checks for viruses in all incoming and outgoing messages in real time, and will prevent viruses from penetrating your computer. Supporting many e-mail database formats (MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, MS Exchange, Eudora, MS Mail, Pegasus Mail, Netscape Mail, JSMail, MIME), the program is effective against viruses in e-mail-message storage areas. In addition to this, the built in Mail Checkerefficiently removes viruses from e-mail messages in MS Outlook, MS Exchange Client, and completely restores the original contents of your messages.

Comprehensive control over e-mail messages : Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal does not allow a virus to hide in any of the message components. The program automatically checks for viruses in all areas of incoming and outgoing messages, i.e. attached files (including archived and compressed files), other messages of any nesting level, embedded OLE objects and the message body.

Protecting data storage locations : The anti-virus Scanner provides a comprehensive check of all local and network drive contents on-demand. You may start your scanner manually or schedule its start with the Control Center™. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner now allows not only detection but also removal of computer viruses from the MS Outlook Express mail databases. If you preset the program to delete infected objects and it detected a virus in an OS-started object, the program deletes the object and the object-starting code.

Unique system intercepting script viruses : Conventional anti-virus monitors are unable to protect your system from the destructive activity of script-viruses operating in your computer's RAM. Script Checker is the universal script-virus interceptor that completely solves this problem by integrating itself as a filter in-between the script-virus and its processor. This enables you to check for viruses in any script before it is executed.

Protection from even unknown viruses : Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal is powered by a unique integrated technology for unknown virus searching, based on the principals of second-generation heuristic analysis. Because of this, the program is able to protect you from even unknown viruses. The highest effectiveness of Kaspersky Anti-Virus is proved by the fact that it was the only anti-virus in the world that repelled attacks of all "ILOVEYOU" virus variations without any additional anti-virus database updates.

Supporting archived and compressed files : Viruses often lurk inside files that have been compressed using special archiving utilities, rendering them invisible to many anti-virus programs. However, this is not true with Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal! Our program supports the majority of archived and compressed file formats, and automatically checks for viruses in their contents. Even if the virus has been compressed or archived multiple times using various archiving utilities, Kaspersky Anti-Virus detects it, deletes the virus and restores the file to its working state.

Completely automated computer anti-virus protection : Does it annoy you to download anti-virus databases every day? Sometimes you simply forget to start your anti-virus monitor and scan your disks for viruses. In our busy lives, it is often hard to remember everything. Use the Control Center integrated in Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal! It enables you to create a flexible schedule for the program components to be started and to automatically download and apply updates to your anti-virus databases via the Internet. The Control Center also enables e-mail notifications regarding detected virus attacks and controls the rights of other users by allowing/prohibiting them from changing your anti-virus settings.

Daily anti-virus database and components updates via the Internet : New viruses appear every day. The more frequently you update your anti-virus, the more reliable protection you have. We provide you with free* daily updates to your Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal anti-virus databases! Using the built-in Updater module, you can easily download the updates automatically or just by one button-click from the Kaspersky Lab Web site. The size of our daily updates is just between 3 and 20Kb! Kaspersky Anti-Virus Updater allows you to update not only anti-virus databases but software package components also

Universal boot system : This product includes the Rescue Kit feature, a unique rescue system that allows you to restore your PC in case it has been seriously damaged from a virus attack and has lost the ability to boot-up. Rescue Kit creates a set of start-up diskettes based on the Linux kernel that contain a preinstalled copy of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux. This set-up enables a "clean boot," and helps users restore disks running under any of the most popular file systems: FAT (DOS), FAT32 (Windows 95/98), NTFS (Windows NT/2000), HPFS (OS/2), EXT (Linux). Now the check and recovery of your computer file system is started automatically right after you insert the first rescue disk from the fallback-recovery set.

User-friendly : Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal has a friendly and easy-to-use user interface featuring the unique Tree Chart technology. It utilizes a step-by-step method, offering recommendations for the next step. Main functions of the program (scanning, updating, and downloading of separate modules) can be activated by the touch of one key, or completely automated.

Round-the-clock technical support : At any time of the day or night, the best Kaspersky Labs anti-virus experts are ready to answer your questions and provide you with FREE* technical support by phone or e-mail. ( * within the subscription period )
