Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
6.0
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 is designed to safeguard personal computers against
malicious software as an optimal combination of conventional methods of anti-
virus protection and new proactive technologies.
The program provides for complex anti-virus checks including:
•
Anti-virus scanning of email traffic at the level of the data transmission
protocol (POP3, IMAP and NNTP for incoming email and SMTP for
outgoing messages) irrespective of the email client being used, as well
as disinfection of email databases.
•
Real-time anti-virus scanning of Internet traffic transferred via HTTP.
•
Anti-virus scanning of individual files, directories or drives. In addition, a
preset scan task can be used to initiate anti-virus analysis exclusively
for critical areas of the operating system, and start-up objects of
Microsoft Windows.
Proactive protection offers the following features:
•
Control of changes within file system
. The program allows users to
create a list of applications, which it will control on a per component basis.
It helps protect application integrity against the influence of malicious
software.
•
Monitoring of processes in random-access memory
. Kaspersky Anti-
Virus 6.0 notifies users in a timely manner whenever it detects dangerous,
suspicious or hidden processes, or in cases when unauthorized changes
occur in standard processes.
•
Monitoring of changes in OS registry
due to internal system registry
control.
•
Blocking of dangerous VBA macros
in Microsoft Office documents.
•
System restoration
after malicious actions by spyware, accomplished
because the application records all changes to the registry and computer
file system, and enables their roll-back at the user's discretion.

Lab, for notifications about the current state of virus activity, and fresh news. The
