Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
New Program Interface Features
The new Kaspersky Anti-Viru
s interface makes the program‟s functions
clear and easy to use. You can also change the program‟s appearance
by using your own graphics and color schemes.
The program regularly provides you with tips as you use it: Kaspersky
Anti-Virus displays informative messages on the level of protection and
includes a thorough Help section. A security wizard built into the appli-
cation provides a complete snapshot of a host's protection status and
allows to proceed directly to issue resolution.
New Program Update Features
This version of the application debuts our improved update procedure:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically checks the update source for update
packages. When the program detects fresh updates, it downloads them
and installs them on the computer.
The program downloads updates incrementally, ignoring files that have
already been downloaded. This lowers the download traffic for updates
by up to 10 times.
Updates are downloaded from the most efficient source.
You can choose not to use a proxy server, by downloading program up-
dates from a local source. This noticeably reduces the traffic on the
proxy server.
A rollback capability has been implemented to recover to a previous ap-
plication database version in the event of file corruption or copy errors.
A feature has been added for distributing updates to a local folder to
give other network computers access to them to save bandwidth.

The elements of Kaspersky
Anti-Virus Defense
Kaspersky Anti-Virus protection is designed with the sources of threats in mind.
In other words, a separate program component deals with each threat, monitor-
ing it and taking the necessary action to prevent malicious effects of that threat
on the user's data. This setup makes the system flexible, with easy configuration
options for all of the components that fit the needs of a specific user or business
as a whole.
