Protection Components |
A file system can contain viruses and other dangerous programs. Malicious programs can be stored in computer file system for years after one day making it through on a removable drive or from the Internet without showing themselves at all. But you only need open the infected file, and the virus is instantly activated.
File Anti-Virus - the component that monitors the computer's file system. It scans all files that are opened, run, and saved on your computer and any attached drives. Kaspersky Anti-Virus intercepts each attempt to access a file and scans such file for known viruses. The file can only be used further if the file is not infected or is successfully treated by the Anti-Virus. If a file cannot be disinfected for any reason, it will be deleted (with a copy of the file saved in backup) or will be moved to quarantine.
E-mail is widely used by malefactors to spread malicious programs. It is one of the chief means for spreading worms. This makes it extremely important to monitor all mail messages.
Mail Anti-Virus - the component that scans all incoming and outgoing e-mails on your computer. It analyzes e-mails for malicious programs. The e-mail is available to the addressee only if it does not contain dangerous objects.
Opening various web sites you put your computer at risk for infection with viruses which will be installed using scripts contained in such web pages as well as for downloading dangerous objects.
Web Anti-Virus is specially designed to forestall such situations. This component intercepts and blocks scripts on web sites if they pose a threat. All http traffic is subject to careful inspection.
The number of malicious programs grows daily. Such programs become more complex combining several types of threats and modifying delivery routes. They become more difficult to detect.
To detect a new malicious program before it has time to do any damage, Kaspersky Lab has developed a special component - Proactive Defense. It is designed around monitoring and analyzing the behavior of all applications installed on your computer. Judging by the actions executed by an application, Kaspersky Anti-Virus makes a decision. Is the application potentially dangerous? So your computer is protected not only from known viruses, but from new ones as well that still have not been discovered.
