What's new in Kaspersky Internet Security/Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010
New in protection: Kaspersky Internet Security comprises the Application Control component which ensures a comprehensible protection against any types of threats, in cooperation with Proactive Defense and Firewall. The component logs the actions performed by applications within the system, and manages their activities based on how much you can trust each of them. The component monitors access to the user's personal data and to the operating system's settings and objects, and prevents applications from performing dangerous actions within the system. New component IM Anti-Virus ensures safe operation of the majority of applications for instant messaging. Component scans messages for the presence of malicious objects. The component has implemented the procedure of running third-party applications in a secure virtual environment called Safe Run. Running Internet browsers in a safe environment ensures security when viewing web resources, including the protection against malware penetrating the computer and the protection of user data against any unauthorized attempts of changing and deleting, as well as the possibility of deleting all objects accumulated during the Internet session: temporary files, cookies, history of web pages browsed, etc. Kaspersky Internet Security includes the URL scanning module managed by Web Anti-Virus. This module checks if links located on the web page belong to the list of suspicious and phishing web addresses. This module is built in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers as a plug-in. Monitoring access to phishing websites and protection against phishing attacks are performed by scanning links in messages and on web pages, and also by using the database of phishing addresses when an attempt to access websites is detected. You can check web addresses if they are included in the list of phishing web addresses; this option is only available for Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam. A new tool called vulnerability scan has been added in the list of scan tasks; it makes easy to detect and eliminate security threats and vulnerabilities in the applications installed on your computer and in the operating system's settings. New in the interface: A new approach to the protection management called My Protection has been implemented. Computer protection is ensured in three different directions: user's files and personal data, operating system objects and applications installed on the computer, and network activity. A specific set of Kaspersky Internet Security components is applied to each of the protection directions. With My Protection, the user can find out which component provides protection for a certain resource category, and quickly switch to editing its settings. The new Application Control section provides quick access to the management of protection settings which help prevent applications from performing actions which may be dangerous to the system, and monitor access to your personal data. This section also allows running applications in a safe environment. Wizards and Tools which help execute specific tasks of providing computer's security, are grouped in the Security+ section.
