Kaspersky Anti-Virus is powered by a unique integrated technology for
unknown virus searching, based on the principals of second-generation
heuristic analysis.
Because of this, the program is able to
protect you from even unknown viruses. By using the integrated Control
Center in Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal, it enables you to create a
flexible schedule for the program components to be started and to
automatically download and apply updates to your anti-virus databases
via the Internet.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus inherits all the strengths of the previous version
and adds increased speed and efficiency based on new technologies as
well as a more convenient user interface.
One of the important improvements is a powerful heuristic analyzer which
when combined with Proactive Defense previously developed by the
company's experts is capable of detecting and disabling unknown
malicious programs based on their behavior. Thus, Kaspersky Anti-Virus
8.0 provides unique triple protection from all types of malware, known
or otherwise, alongside the traditional signature-based method. This
kind of multi-tier defense is unparalleled anywhere in the world and of
unequalled efficiency.
