New Update

Kaspersky is one security product which touches almost all aspects of protection and there are several methods implemented to secure your system against malware threats. For instance, there is cloud-based protection which continually gathers information about new malware threats from millions of consenting users' computers. This information enables Kaspersky to protect its customers against the very latest threats without having to wait for a new malware signature to be added to the malware database on customers' PCs. Similarly, there are some other features like automatic exploit protection, trusted application mode, protection against screen lockers, system watcher and virtual keyboard. This security suite has strong parental controls, identify theft protection, a two-way firewall, social networking protection tools, a geo

filter and an online banking mode.

In order to install Kaspersky IS, it will first look for Microsoft.net 4.0 framework and download the same if not found. Internet Security 2014's interface and features haven't changed much from its last version. The main screen gives you an overview of the status of your anti-virus software and its updates and the presence of any threats on your system. The performance was very good in all the tests executed on the security suite. Only point of improvement was the memory consumption during the scanning process. It was around 47MB, which is slightly on the higher side as compared to others. Otherwise, it blocked all eight files of EICAR, restricted access of 24 out of 25 malicious websites and scanned the 250 MB test folder containing 27,000 files in 1 hour.
