Kaspersky has made a name for itself in the world of computer security over the past few years. Now, fans and users will be happy to know, a beta version of an internet security suite set to be released in 2014 has a beta version available for them to check out. Now, since it is far from being finished, there isn´t a whole lot of information about new features, improvements, etc. So I will just focus on what IS known and we will just have to wait until more information is released.
One thing that will be new for the 2014 suite is that the interface will be much more simple to use. This is great for anyone who has ever had to deal with those awful programs, of any kind, that seem to be more mazes than anything else. There is also talk of touch screen support, so those of you with devices that have touch screens will be able to handle security issues from your device rather than having to depend on your PC.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 Key Features:
• System Watcher. Even if an unknown piece of malware manages to get onto your PC, Kaspersky’s unique System Watcher will detect dangerous behaviour and allow you to undo or rollback most malicious actions.
• Better anti-phishing protection. A new anti-phishing engine improves your defences against Internet fraudsters’ attempts to gain access to your personal information.
• Automatic Exploit Prevention. Even if your PC and the applications running on it haven’t been updated with the latest fixes, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 can prevent exploitation of vulnerabilities by:
* controlling the launch of executable files from applications with vulnerabilities
* analysing the behaviour of executable files for any similarities with malicious programs
* restricting the actions allowed by applications with vulnerabilities
• Minimal impact on PC performance for a range of usage scenarios. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 is optimised so that it does not have a significant impact on network activity, the installation of programs, the launch of web browsers or the launch of programs. In addition, a special Gamer Mode ensures an uninterrupted game experience – while still keeping you secure.
• Optimised antivirus databases. With antivirus information provided from the cloud, we’ve significantly reduced the size of the antivirus databases stored on your PC – which helps to improve performance and reduce the time taken for installation and updates.
• Reduced Battery Drain. When it’s installed on a laptop that is running on battery power, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 automatically reduces its usage of resources – to help increase the time the laptop can run before needing to be recharged.
• Easy-to-use interface. The main interface window is optimised to help boost performance and ease of use for many popular user scenarios – including launching scans and fixing problems.
• Virtual Keyboard. Virtual Keyboard allows you to use mouse-clicks to enter your banking information online – so your personal information can’t be tracked or stolen by keyloggers, hackers or identity thieves.
• Compatible with Windows 8… and delivers additional security. In addition to being fully compatible with Windows 8, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014 includes features that provide even greater protection:
* Kaspersky Now is a new application that has been developed to integrate with Microsoft’s new user interface – to display your PC’s protection status and enable the rapid launch of vital security features
* For other applications that are compatible with Microsoft’s new user interface, Kaspersky technologies scan the applications for viruses – and infected applications are removed and then replaced with clean applications
* Integration with Early-Launch Anti-Malware (ELAM) technology – to provide protection even before your PC boots up
* Integration with Windows Security Centre’s newly enhanced functionality
