The result is unmatched security that won’t slow you down, leaving you free to enjoy the Internet and your PC to their full potential.
Core Protection with the Latest Kaspersky Lab Technologies: Kaspersky Anti-Virus is the backbone of your PC’s security system, packed with the latest technologies from our team of over 850 world-class security experts and engineers.

Rapid, Real-Time Reaction to New Threats: New Internet threats emerge with lightning speed, and the latest Kaspersky technologies are there to protect you with real-time data from the cloud. Benefit from millions of users around the world via the Kaspersky Security Network. When suspicious or unrecognizable data is encountered on one of those systems, it’s automatically analyzed by our lab, and real-time, protective updates are issued to all of our users, providing the ultimate protection as new threats emerge.
Advanced Protection
Proactive Detection of Unknown Malware: The latest Kaspersky technologies proactively seek out suspicious activity on your system—without draining performance. Potential threats are monitored and analyzed with real-time, cloud technologies, and dangerous actions are completely blocked before they can cause harm.
Rollback of Malware Changes: Kaspersky’s multiple layers of protection are your best defense against cybercrime, delivering premium protection from new and emerging threats. If an unknown piece of malware does manage to find its way onto your system, Kaspersky’s unique System Watcher will detect the dangerous behavior and allow you to undo most unwanted and harmful activity.
Vulnerability Detection: Cybercriminals often exploit application and system vulnerabilities that haven’t been updated with the latest fixes. Kaspersky Anti-Virus finds these vulnerabilities and assists in patching the holes in your protection before they can be exploited by viruses, spyware, and identity thieves.
One-Click Security Checks: Get instant information about the security status and reputation of any application, executable, or script. With a single mouse-click, File Advisor uses cloud technologies to send you information such as filename, size, date created and last modified, threat rating, digital signature, geography, distribution, and other Kaspersky users’ level of trust. Make informed decisions about the files you’d like to access.
Instant Website Safety Checks: Kaspersky’s updated URL Advisor acts as your personal security guide as you surf the web. Color-coded tags advise you of the danger level of web links within search results and subsequent pages. Search the web with confidence, knowing you won’t stumble onto dangerous websites.
Rootkit Detection: Rootkits, designed to conceal system infections, can be challenging to detect. Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses special methods to detect rootkits, ensuring you’re protected from this advanced threat.
Identity Protection
Anti-Phishing Defense: Phishing attacks are becoming more common and tricky. It’s increasingly difficult to distinguish a genuine email from your bank, for example, from a cybercriminal trying to lure you into revealing confidential information. Kaspersky uses cloud technologies to update and reference an online database of phishing websites in real-time and proactively analyzes URLs, catching new phishing attacks as soon as they emerge. Be confident that your digital identity is always safe.
Virtual Keyboard: Kaspersky’s Virtual Keyboard is a special online tool for entering private data such as credit card numbers and passwords. It’s an on-screen keyboard you use with a mouse, ensuring the data you enter can’t be tracked or stolen by keyloggers, hackers, or identity thieves. It’s an additional layer of defense ensuring the safety of your digital identity.
Performance
Intelligent Scanning: Kaspersky’s unique technologies keep your system at maximum performance while delivering premium protection from viruses and spyware. Files are scanned only if they’ve been opened or modified, and behind-the-scenes activities are reduced when you’re placing demands on your PC. Enjoy watching movies, surfing the web, or using multiple programs without disruption from your security software.
Smart Updates: Kaspersky delivers especially small updates that minimize the drain on your PC’s processing power—less than 1% CPU usage! Added intelligence to updates ensures that only active components of the software are updated at any given time, minimizing the number of updates and time needed to download them. Receive maximum protection with reduced network traffic and resource use.
Gamer Mode: Switch on Gamer Mode to block pop-ups and reduce your PC’s resource usage to a bare minimum. Games won’t be interrupted or slowed, and Kaspersky will still block any hackers or malware attempting to sneak onto your system.
Additional Features
Unmatched Usability with a New Interface: A fresh, new approach to the user interface ensures it’s easier than ever to manage your PC security. Instant visibility into your protection status, one-click access to the features you use the most, and a detailed guide to how our cloud technologies are working for you.
Easy-Access to Security Status: Feel confident in your protection status with a quick glance at your desktop. Kaspersky’s Desktop Security Gadget prominently displays whether your security is up-to-date or if action is required. Customizable buttons allow you to have the protection features you use the most close-at-hand. Drag and drop files onto the gadget for easy, on-the-spot virus scanning. *Works with Windows Vista & Windows 7*
Installation on Infected PCs: If your PC is so severely infected that no antivirus software can be installed, Kaspersky will download a proprietary tool to scan and eliminate all threats. If the damage is so severe that the operating system can’t launch correctly, the Kaspersky Anti-Virus installation CD can be used as a bootable Rescue Disk to detect and eliminate all infections. Proceed quickly and easily with the product’s installation.
Optimized for Netbooks: Kaspersky Anti-Virus supports screen resolutions found on netbooks, including 1024×600 and 1366×768, with no impact on system performance.
