Kaspersky Anti-Virus from Kaspersky Lab protects your computer from all known and unknown malicious software. It combines advanced virus signature databases, powerful proactive protection, and the Kaspersky Security Network cloud network. In addition to its antivirus, Kaspersky Lab releases the free healing utility Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.
The main condition for the antivirus's functionality and effectiveness is having up-to-date and current virus signature databases. If the database is outdated, there is a risk of new viruses entering the system, as attackers are constantly active. You can download the latest version of the antivirus on our website.
Features of the New Version
The developer periodically releases updates that improve algorithms, speed up the program, and expand its capabilities. Among the new features in the antivirus is an updated guide and instructions for working with the basic components of the application, located in the main window.
Kaspersky now includes the "Software Update" function, which prevents the risk of system infection due to downloading updates from certain programs. The system automatically detects outdated applications and performs updates.
The application now includes the Kaspersky Secure Connection feature – part of the antivirus suite that protects internet connections as well as connections to removable drives. It helps prevent virus intrusion when traffic passes through hacker DNS servers or when malicious code is present on a flash drive.
Functionality
The functionality is expanded with the "Remove Programs" component. Windows also has a similar feature, but here it works comprehensively, cleaning up traces of the application's presence on the computer.
Wi-Fi operation in Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been significantly improved. Notifications about new connections are now more accurate, and network categorization has been fixed.
Developers have seriously reworked the functionality of the "Anti-Banner" element, which prevents ads from appearing on website pages. The system has been updated to match modern types of advertising banners.
The program cares about user privacy and therefore includes an element responsible for protecting against data collection. This component has been around for a long time, but its function has now been improved.
The "Safe Payments" function allows you to make purchases on the internet without any risks. Otherwise, data could be intercepted by hackers and used to access user funds. The system now includes a feedback feature.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus always updates in the background, but previously users had to accept the user agreement each time. This necessity has now been eliminated. The agreement window will only appear if the terms of interaction between the user and the service change.
