Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 – This antivirus power-house has more security than similar security software, and is a great option for both beginners and security experts, the backbone of your PC’s security system, offering real-time automated protection from a range of IT threats. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 provides the basic tools needed to protect your PC. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 will run on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. There’s also an option to not install the anonymous data collection that Kaspersky’s new behavioral engine, the Urgent Detection System, relies on. If you choose to not install it, you won’t be any less secure–you just won’t be contributing your data to it. Two new scanning technologies are included for 2010 — iSwift and iChecker. ISwift is designed to adjust scanning depending on the user’s activities, preserving performance. IChecker remembers which files are safe after scanning and will only scan them again if they are modified, meaning quicker scan times. Kaspersky provides a convenient flowchart that details how its various modules protect by clicking on any of the protection items on the main screen. Self-protection. Today virus writers begin their attack on your computer by disabling anti-virus protection. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is designed to block all attempts to disable protection, leaving you to work and play securely.
