Installation
Unlike the predecessor versions which were afflicted by a bug that would halt the installation process if even minor Registry keys from competing suites were detected, the new version has been engineered for hassle-free installation. Also, it takes lesser time to copy and register the file and doesn’t need the restart of machine after the accomplishment of the installation procedure.
Hybridized Protection Technique
Kaspersky blends heuristic or behavioral detection techniques with those of the cloud-based update to make it robust against the known and unknown Internet threats. Armed with a rich set of features like advanced URL Advisor, File Advisor, System Watcher, Application Control, Two-way personal firewall, Anti-Phishing , Anti-Spam technology and Parental Control it seems to be a comprehensive protection suit to protect the digital assets against viruses, spyware and malware.
User-Interface
It has been further simplified. The product has deserted the curiously divided interface and comes with an easy-to-navigate interface that is readable with a quick glance. Launch it anytime from the Microsoft Windows taskbar notification area and have note of your PC health. See all the necessary information about the computer protection status, activity of the protection components, up-to-datedness of the anti-virus databases and the license expiry date. Additionally, learn how to configure and execute important contents like Application Control, Network Monitor, Virtual Keyboard, Safe Run, etc. within the application interface.
