Product Reviews

Core Protection

  • Award-winning protection against all types of Internet threats
    Online shopping, banking, and social networking can leave your PC vulnerable to viruses – and your digital identity & finances exposed to criminal attacks. Kaspersky’s innovative hybrid protection approach combines powerful security technologies running on your PC and the real-time efficiency of the cloud. As a result, Kaspersky PURE 3.0 Total Security delivers a faster, more effective response to today’s ever-evolving threats.
  • Real-time, proactive, and cloud technologies detect new, emerging, and unknown threats
    Because new Internet threats emerge with amazing speed, Kaspersky protects your PC by using real-time data from the cloud. With the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network constantly gathering data from millions of consenting users’ systems, Kaspersky can protect you from suspicious activity on your PC. Potential threats are monitored and analyzed in real-time – and dangerous actions are completely blocked before they can cause harm.
  • Best-in-class, two-way firewall
    Kaspersky’s two-way firewall provides a secure perimeter around your PC – to help ensure your personal information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. In addition to preventing hackers from accessing your PC, Kaspersky’s firewall also controls what’s transmitted from your PC to the outside world – so malware can’t send out your documents or personal information.
  • Anti-spam
    In addition to cluttering up your email inbox and wasting your time, spam is often used by cybercriminals to deliver malware onto users’ PCs. Kaspersky PURE 3.0 includes a new anti-spam module that filters out unwanted email messages – and it starts blocking spam emails, as soon as you install it.

Advanced Protection

  • Secure online banking and shopping
    Whenever you use online banking, shopping websites, or online payment systems, Kaspersky PURE 3.0 provides additional layers of protection. Kaspersky’s unique Safe Money technology ensures that the website you’re visiting is secure – to prevent you from being exploited by a fake or phishing website. Safe Money will also offer to open your chosen website in a special, protected mode – so your credit card number and other personal data cannot be accessed by cybercriminals.
  • Automatic Exploit Prevention
    Malware is increasingly targeting vulnerabilities within commonly-used PC applications. Kaspersky PURE 3.0 includes a new technology – Automatic Exploit Prevention – that blocks malware from exploiting such vulnerabilities and stealing your personal data. Automatic Exploit Prevention scans your PC for vulnerabilities and controls the actions of any programs that have vulnerabilities. It blocks exploits by:
    • Controlling the launch of executable files by any applications that have vulnerabilities
    • Analyzing the behavior of executable files – to identify any similarities with known malicious programs
    • Restricting the actions that can be undertaken by applications that have vulnerabilities
  • Rollback of changes made by malware
    If an unknown piece of malware is present on your PC, Kaspersky’s unique System Watcher will detect its dangerous behavior and then enable you to undo most unwanted and harmful activity.
  • One-Click security checks
    With Kaspersky PURE 3.0, it’s easy to check the security status and reputation of any application, executable, or script – so you can make better-informed decisions about the files you wish to access and run. Kaspersky’s File Advisor uses cloud-based technologies to send you information such as filename, size, date created, date last modified, threat rating, digital signature, geography, distribution, and other Kaspersky users’ level of trust.
  • Safe surfing with URL Advisor & Safe Surf
    Whenever you surf the web, Kaspersky’s updated URL Advisor adds color-coded tags to all web links within the list of search results – to warn you about the danger level of any links. In addition, Kaspersky’s customizable Safe Surf feature will alert you about suspicious sites – so it’s easier to decide whether it’s safe to share your personal information.
  • Application Control
    Kaspersky’s Application Control feature uses real-time intelligence about threats, in order to determine security privileges for every application that you launch. Without any significant impact on PC performance, Application Control monitors unknown or suspicious applications and restricts them from undertaking potentially harmful actions. Potentially dangerous applications can be completely blocked from harming your PC.
  • Geo Filter
    Kaspersky’s unique Geo Filter lets you block content from specified countries. If you aren’t interested in receiving any content from non-English speaking countries – many of which have a history of generating malware – Geo Filter helps you to prevent potential malware reaching your PC. Even if a legitimate and trusted English-language website has its security compromised, so that it tries to send you malware from an overseas server, your PC will be protected.
  • Vulnerability Detection
    One of the easier ways for cybercriminals to find a hole in your protection is through application and system vulnerabilities that haven’t been updated with the latest fixes. Kaspersky Internet Security finds these vulnerabilities, and assists in patching the holes in your protection before they can be exploited by viruses, spyware, and identity thieves.
  • Network Attack Blocker
    Kaspersky scans all incoming network traffic for activities that are characteristic of a network attack. If an attempt to attack your computer is detected, Kaspersky blocks any and all network activity from the attacking computer.
  • Rootkit Detection
    Rootkits are designed to conceal system infections, and can be very difficult to detect by common antivirus tools. Kaspersky Internet Security uses special methods specifically designed to detect rootkits before they install, ensuring you’re protected from this advanced threat.
identity protection

  • Password Manager* – including Password Sync
    Kaspersky’s Password Manager not only enhances your security – by generating secure, random passwords – it also securely stores your passwords in an encrypted vault and automatically logs you onto your website accounts and applications, including Skype and Instant Messenger. Now, with the new Password Sync feature, Kaspersky PURE 3.0 also securely stores your passwords online in the cloud. With Password Sync, you can safely access your passwords from all of your PURE 3.0 enabled PCs.
    *Password Manager is not available for x64 operating systems, applications, or browsers.
  • Secure Keyboard & improved Virtual Keyboard
    When you open a bank or payment website – or enter a password on a website – Kaspersky’s Secure Keyboard technology automatically prevents keyloggers from accessing the personal data that you type on your keyboard. Furthermore, Kaspersky’s improved Virtual Keyboard technology lets you input confidential data without even using a keyboard – so your information is safe from capture by ‘screen scrapers’, keyloggers, and more.
  • Anti-Phishing Defense
    With phishing attacks becoming increasingly common, Kaspersky’s latest cloud-based and proactive anti-phishing technologies do more to defend you – and your digital identity – against online fraudsters. Every time you receive an email or you navigate to a URL, it’s checked against Kaspersky’s online database of phishing websites.

  • Scheduled backup
    If your PC is lost, stolen, or suffers a hard disk failure, Kaspersky’s flexible backup and restore features mean you can still access your precious photos, music, and financial documents. Kaspersky PURE 3.0 lets you backup your data onto your hard drive, removable media, or a range of other physical storage.
  • FREE Online backup
    With its new Online Backup feature, Kaspersky PURE 3.0 also allows you to store up to 2 GB of backup files online, free-of-charge, via Dropbox – so you can use any PC with an Internet connection to access your backup.
  • Secure vaults
    Kaspersky PURE 3.0 lets you create a special secure vault to store valuable information. All information in the vault is encrypted and the vault is also protected by its own password. Your encrypted information can’t be accessed by hackers and criminals, but you can safely transfer your confidential data from one computer to another.

  • Helps to preserve PC performance
    Kaspersky PURE 3.0 has been optimized to work behind-the-scenes… providing everything you need to protect your PC – without noticeably affecting the speed of your PC and without constantly distracting you with alerts and queries.
  • Small, frequent updates
    By delivering small updates, Kaspersky helps to minimize the load on your PC’s processor. In addition, Kaspersky’s intelligent update process ensures that only active components of the software are updated at any given time. This further helps to reduce the load on your PC, while still ensuring you benefit from robust protection.
  • Intelligent scanning
    Because Kaspersky PURE 3.0 only scans files when they’re opened or modified – and background activities are reduced whenever you’re placing demands on your PC – Kaspersky delivers superior protection, without significantly affecting performance. You can enjoy watching movies, surfing the web, or running multiple programs – without your security software disrupting you.
  • Gamer Mode
    Kaspersky PURE 3.0 includes a special Gamer Mode that blocks pop-ups and helps to free up more of your PC’s resources for your game. Kaspersky technologies continue to block hackers and malware attacks – without interrupting or slowing down your game.
PC cleanup tools

  • PC Cleanup
    On every PC, Internet browsing history and deleted files can adversely affect performance and leave PCs vulnerable to attacks. Kaspersky PURE 3.0 includes special PC Cleanup tools that can permanently delete surfing history, temporary files, cookies, and documents. PC Cleanup means you can protect your privacy and digital identity, while also ensuring your PC keeps running smoothly.
  • File Shredder
    Even after you delete a file and empty your Recycle Bin, the file is still recoverable on your hard drive – so it’s still possible for cybercriminals to access it. Kaspersky’s File Shredder irreversibly wipes your deleted files off your PC – so your deleted files can’t be recovered, reconstructed, or stolen.
  • System Restore
    Some types of malware – including spyware and rootkits – can change your system settings, in order to make your PC vulnerable to infection. Kaspersky PURE 3.0 scans your system settings for suspicious changes, and alerts you if it decides you could benefit from restoring your original settings.
  • Rescue CD
    Kaspersky makes it easy to create a bootable rescue CD. If destructive malware somehow manages to find its way onto your PC, the rescue CD provides a quick and easy way to restore your system.

  • Installation on infected PCs
    If your PC is so severely infected that no antivirus software can be installed on it, Kaspersky has a downloadable, proprietary tool that scans PCs and eliminates all threats. In cases where the infection and damage are so severe that the PC’s operating system can’t even launch correctly, Kaspersky still can help. The Kaspersky PURE 3.0 installation CD can be used as a bootable Rescue Disk – in order to detect and eliminate all infections. Having removed the infection, you can then easily continue with installing Kaspersky PURE 3.0.
