Kaspersky Updates Home Security Products

Kaspersky Lab has released newly updated product line for home usersKaspersky Antivirus 2015 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2015. Kaspersky Antivirus 2015 protects against malicious software, assesses the security of each website a user visits and identifies suspicious program behavior. It also includes an automatic exploit protection system which prevents malware from exploiting security gaps in legitimate applications and software.

Kaspersky Internet Security provides PC protection from Internet threats. In addition to antivirus and anti-phishing protection, it includes a range of tools and technologies to help protect privacy, personal data and online payments.

The company has now included automatic updates of newer versions. It also improved the Safe Money module to protect against online financial transactions. Now, Safe Money also blocks third-party applications from accessing the Web browser clipboard, which may temporarily contain confidential data (such as copied login credentials). It continues to protect from screen-capture technology, malicious browser extensions, and other money-stealing tactics used by cybercriminals.

For users of paid Wi-Fi networks, 3G or LTE connections, the solution now includes the Cost-Aware Networking feature that reduces the amount of data communicated by the product via the net.

In the anti-phishing module, which helps the user avoid unwanted and malicious Web pages, improvements were introduced into the text, image and website link analysis technology. This leads to faster and more accurate detections of fake websites designed to steal money and sensitive user information.

The main menu and interface has been unified across all products so users can easily navigate applications regardless of the operating system or product version.

The new solutions were unveiled by Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman & CEO along with Sachin Tendulkar, Brand Ambassador, in the presence of Maxim Mitrokhin, Director, Operations and Nathan Wang, Technical Director, Asia Pacific and Altaf Halde, Managing Director, Kaspersky Lab, South Asia.
