The Security of Every PC in Your Home Can Now be Easily Managed from a Single PC

January 24, 2011 - Woburn, Mass. – Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of Internet security solutions that defend against computer viruses, spyware and all forms of malicious software, today announced the latest addition to its family of security solutions. Kaspersky Lab’s newest product provides unique central management to easily maintain the security of multiple PCs from a single PC.

Kaspersky PURE Total Security is now available at retail and e-stores across North America. Built upon Kaspersky Lab’s world renowned anti-malware and proactive security technologies, Kaspersky PURE Total Security automatically protects users from all forms of malicious software. Its advanced technologies leverage the “cloud” to provide immediate urgent updates of the latest Internet threats. This is complemented by the company’s standard hourly signature updating and highly advanced proactive protection to guard against threats that are yet unknown.

Finally! Central Home Security Management

This is what our customers have been waiting for – an intuitively easy way to manage the security of every PC in one’s home from a single PC. Kaspersky PURE Total Security comes with unique central management capabilities and security tools to help users easily secure their digital lives, without needing a computer expert to help. From one PC, you can:

  • run all scans, updates, and backup tasks automatically or on-demand
  • fix security issues without getting up from your desk
  • remotely manage parental controls, so your kids are never outside of your protection, even when they’re out of view
  • conveniently update the Kaspersky PURE Total Security licenses throughout your home

Control for Parents like Never Before

According to the data from Kaspersky’s Anti-Malware Lab, there are 20 newly infected children’s websites appearing daily. By combining our latest Parental Control technologies with the remote management capabilities of Kaspersky PURE Total Security, parents are now better able to protect their kids as they explore online with easy-to-set centralized parental controls for each of their children’s machines. The parental controls included in Kaspersky PURE Total Security prevent inappropriate material from being seen, enabling parents to block entire categories of online content, such as gambling websites, message boards and adults-only content. Kaspersky PURE Total Security goes far beyond content-blocking. It also allows parents to:

  • Control when and for how long your children can be online, or on the computer at all

Kaspersky PURE’s Parental Control lets you set your deadlines, so there are no arguments when time is up.

  • Keep important family and personal information from being shared

Don’t just block the bad content from coming in your home; keep your valuable household information from getting out. Parents can prevent private information, such as your home address, phone number or credit card number, from ever being shared online.

  • Have full visibility to prevent cyber-bullying

Full transcripts of instant messaging or social network communications can be saved and reviewed; and parents can have special keywords flagged automatically to monitor for profanity or harassment. The software’s settings can block specified online contacts, and allow only pre-approved contacts.

Easy-to-Use Tools at the Ready

Kaspersky PURE Total Security uses the technology that has made our very popular Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Internet Security the #1 selling consumer security software in the North American retail market today*. Built to keep everyone in the household safe while online, there are additional tools within Kaspersky PURE Total Security always available to help keep all of your PCs running both safely and smoothly.

  • Automated File Backup and Restore

Protect everyone’s irreplaceable digital valuables – music, photos, critical documents, financial information – from being lost forever. Kaspersky PURE Total Security can run file backups for the PCs in your home from a single computer, easily storing data on any external drive or USB device.

  • Integrated Password Management

Kaspersky PURE Total Security’s Password Manager can store every individual’s own log-in passwords in an encrypted “digital vault” and then automatically log each person into their favorite websites and applications. No more fussing around with lots of different and ineffective passwords. Simply remember one master password and Kaspersky PURE Total Security takes care of the rest with automatically generated unique and strong passwords.

  • Powerful Data Encryptionand File Shredder

Now you can encrypt your most sensitive personal information so it’s never vulnerable to anyone accessing your computer. When that information is no longer needed, or if a PC is being discarded, Kaspersky PURE Total Security’s File Shredder application irreversibly wipes information from your system, leaving no trace of any personal information.

With the addition of Kaspersky Pure Total Security consumers now have a wide spectrum of computer protection to choose from. From the most inexperienced consumer to digital households with multiple computers to highly technical computer users, Kaspersky Lab offers the right product with the most advanced protection that never slows you down.
