Features
Kaspersky Total Security holds many extremely beneficial features to assist in top Internet safety. Before protecting your devices, it is helpful to understand what each feature does. Kaspersky wants to ensure every customer considers all our beneficial safety tactics. Below is an intellectual feature list compiled for Kaspersky customers:
Antivirus Protection/performance:
The Kaspersky Total Security anti-virus protection feature uses the same scanning engine to detect malware in all their Kaspersky software. Their uniquely designed engine combines signature matching of malware with constant heuristic system monitoring for suspicious behavior and codes that register viruses. However, if there is new malware detected in the device, a copy is uploaded immediately to Kaspersky’s research lab for analysis followed by a distributed signature to the company’s users. Kaspersky Total Security allows users to start scans in just two clicks on the home page. Their thorough full scans inspect anything that triggers to be infected in the hard drive. To scan a single file by simply dragging it into the Scan Window, or right-clicking the Scan Window in the Windows File Explorer. As well as a USB drive or SD card, the Kaspersky protection offers to scan it.
It is proven that Kaspersky Total Protection is entirely effective and thorough, as it snatches all malware containing false positives. Some studies show and display Kaspersky’s performance. In April 2016, a German independent testing lab, AV-TEST, showed that Kaspersky caught every piece of zero-day malware, through heuristic monitoring, along with every widespread piece of malware, by signature matching. Thus, Kaspersky Internet Security detected exactly 100 and 99 percent of zero-day exploits, registering no false positives. However, a separate AV-Comparatives lab in Austria found highly similar results through five separate evaluations in February 2016. Once again Kaspersky detected 99.7 percent of malware, and only detected two false positives.
Security
Kaspersky Total Security has optimum anti-phishing protection, bootable rescue disks provided on a thumb drive or disk, and website screening for all devices. These tools ensure a complete safeguarded device from destructive malware. Their process starts with safe surf Internet protection that is a background scanner and a feature known as System Watcher that protects against encrypting software. Their security systems are fast acting; if it spots any malware the System Watcher instantly backs up a new copy of the encryptions target. Kaspersky Total Security utilizes its Trusted Applications Mode to block any whitelist applications and unwanted programs.
In addition to that, their system blocks website banners that contain spams and viruses. The most common website banner ad will usually say something like, “Congratulations, you just won $1,000 dollars!” Kaspersky regulates the websites as you use them and blocks those infected and unwanted website ads. A new plus to the security features is the new Updater feature that scans and detects outdated drivers and apps, however, not office files. Their two-way firewall screens both incoming and outgoing network traffic, ensuring the device is covered inward and outward.
Another key security and safety feature is their Safe Money tool, offered as a browser extension. This ultimate security tool fully protects financial details and personal information. Its duty is to check website reputation to prevent additional browser extensions and blocks off your current browser memory from the PC so no one can access or view it. Kaspersky Total Security also comes with a specially designed webcam protection that guards a Computers camera and microphone. Kaspersky also comes with a virtual keyboard when users are worried about key loggers finding out passwords and other important materials, because Internet crooks can also access from the outside if your device is stolen or left unattended.
Additional security and privacy features include a strong file encryption, backup software, password manager and protection, and a virtual private network. The virtual private network lets users have up to 200MB daily. Also, the Safe Kids security feature is offered, allowing parents to rest assured that their kid’s Internet innocence is kept safe. Kaspersky Total Security users will also be glad to know a virtual file shredder is offered so files that you want vanished forever will surely never be seen again.
Privacy
Protecting personal information is extremely important in protecting your identity, financial information, and personal information you do not want others to have access too. Kaspersky Total Security not only secures everything, but also performs the highest of quality privacy to all your information. Every device you own can store a plethora of information about yourself and your personal life. As a result, this makes your devices highly attractive to criminals, so Kaspersky ensures phishers and crooks will not access any confidential data. Their privacy protection guards all personal data, prevents online activities, blocks unauthorized breaches, and protects data on all devices using a public network.
The privacy protection includes confidential contacts whose details can be hidden if preferred, and confidential data such as text messages, emails, work, and information. Kaspersky can even give users the ability to block selected and unwanted contacts, and enable data hiding. To enable these functions users can access these features through the My Kaspersky portal. This feature also lets users protect their Privacy Protection settings using a secret code to access your personal settings.
