What's new in Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 |
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 is an essentially new approach to data security.
The program's main feature is that it unites and noticeably improves the existing features
of all the company's products in one protection solution.
New modules offer anti-virus protection as well as protection from unknown threats.
You no longer need to install several programs on a computer to give yourself full protection. You can simply install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0.
The multifaceted defense covers all channels for data transmission and exchange. A flexible configuration of all application components allows for maximum customization of Kaspersky Internet Security to the needs of each user. Unified configuration for all the protection components is also built-in.
Let's take closer look at the new features in Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0:
New Protection Features
- Now Kaspersky Anti-Virus® not only protects you from known malicious programs, but programs that are not yet known as well. The Proactive Defense component is the number one advantage of the program. It is built on the analysis of behavior of applications installed on your computer, monitoring changes to the system registry and fighting with hidden threats. The component uses an heuristic analyzer that can detect various types of malicious programs. In doing so, a history is kept of malicious activity, on the basis of which the actions of a malicious program can be rolled back and the system can be restored to the state prior to the malicious activity.
- File Anti-Virus technology has been improved: now you can lower the load on your processor and disk subsystems and increase the speed of file scans. This is accomplished using the iChecker™ and iSwift™ technologies. By operating this way, the program rules out repeat scans of files.
- 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.
- Individual tasks are provided for scanning Critical Areas of the computer and startup objects that could cause serious problems if infected and for detecting rootkits used to hide malware on your system. You can configure these tasks to run automatically every time the system is started.
- Protection of mail on the user's computer from malicious programs has been significantly improved. The program scans e-mail sent on these protocols for viruses:
- Special plug-ins are available for widely used mail clients such as Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express (Windows Mail), and TheBat! that can configure mail protection from viruses directly in the mail client.
- 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 event types: e-mails, sound notifications, pop-up messages.
- The program has an option of scanning traffic, transmitted through protected connection via SSL protocol.
- The program has added self-defense features: protection against unauthorized remote use of the program’s tools, and password-protected program settings. These features help keep malicious programs, hackers, and unauthorized users from disabling protection.
- A feature has been added that can create a rescue disk. Using the rescue disk, you can reboot the operating system after a virus attack and scan the computer for malicious files.
- A News Agent has been added. It is a module designed for real-time delivery of news content from Kaspersky Lab.
New Program Interface Features
- The new Kaspersky Anti-Virus interface makes the functions of the program simple and easy to use. You can also change the appearance of the program using your own graphics and color schemes.
- When using the program, it regularly provides you with helpful information: Kaspersky Anti-Virus displays informative messages on the level of protection, accompanies its operation with comments and tips, and includes a through help section. A security wizard built into the application provides a complete snapshot of a host's protection status and allows to proceed directly to issue resolution.
New Program Update Features
- This version of the program debuts our improved update procedure: Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically checks the update source for updates. If it finds new updates, Anti-Virus downloads them and installs them on the computer.
- Only updates that you do not yet have are downloaded from the update site. This lowers the download traffic for updates by up to ten times.
- Updates are downloaded from the fastest source.
- Now you can choose not to use a proxy server, if the program updates are downloaded from a local source. This noticeably reduces the traffic passing through the proxy server.
- A rollback capability has been implemented to recover to a previous application database version in the event of file corruption or copy errors.
- A new feature has been added that allows updates to be copied to a local folder so that other computers on the network can access them, thereby reducing Internet traffic.
