CHAPTER 10. PROACTIVE
DEFENSE
Warning!
This version of the application does not have the proactive defense component:
There are no Proactive Defense components in this version of the application
(
Application Integrity Control
and
Office Guard
) for computers running
Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition or computers running Microsoft
Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows Vista x64.
Kaspersky Internet Security protects you both from known threats and from new
ones about which there is no information in the . This is ensured by a specially
developed component –
Proactive Defense.
The need for Proactive Defense has grown as malicious programs have begun to
spread faster than anti-virus updates can be released to neutralize them.
The reactive technique, on which anti-virus protection is based, requires that a
new threat infect at least one computer, and requires enough time to analyze the
malicious code, add it to the threat signatures and update the database on user
computers. By that time, the new threat might have inflicted massive damages.
