out.Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 promising a full PC protection and ease of use for end users. Kaspersky protects against threats including viruses, spyware, Trojans, worms, and bots. Updates done every hour. Two new scanning technology incorporated for 2010 - iSwift and iChecker. ISwift designed to adjust the scanning depending on user activity, maintain the performance. IChecker remember which files are safe after scanning and will only scan them again if they are modified, which means faster scan times.
Include new technologies for the year 2010 is a white list and Application Control Kaspersky, which determines the application security, and Kaspersky Advisory URL, which makes users safe by warning them of the dangerous link.
Like other anti-virus Kaspersky suite not have a personal firewall, which is included in the more-expensive Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 suite.
Installation and Activation
Kaspersky takes three clicks to install and two clicks to complete. Not including download time process only takes a few minutes and no restart is required. After accepting the license agreement installer give users the option to allow anonymous Kaspersky to send information to the company's network security, which is used to detect new threats. Once installed, users must enter their activation code to continue, once it contacts the server installer and license activation is enabled.
We have a problem with the activation license last year, the problems that absent this time.
On the whole installation process simple and painless.
Interface Program
Kaspersky Anti-Virus in 2010 the risk of system
Kaspersky's sleek and polished interface that is easy on the eye and well laid-out. Navigation is handled on the left through the four main categories, the support link at the bottom left, and advanced settings in the upper right. The layout is similar to last years' but smooth with a more convenient access to the navigation items.
Protection status is displayed at the top of the window. Like many of Kaspersky anti-virus applications using color codes to status. Green bar means the computer is protected and yellow means the risk as shown on the left. If at risk, it seems the "Fix now" - we click a button and the program did so without further instructions.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus protection component 2010
Kaspersky provides a comfortable flow chart detailing how the various modules to protect by clicking on one of the items on the protection of the main screen. This serves as a bit of an ad for more expensive Internet Security suite by showing what is not included in the Anti-Virus suite, but still we like the features of protection because it makes it easier to understand; we have not seen other antivirus applications, including something like this .
Kaspersky includes several other items not explicitly advertised. Click on the Security tab allows use to make a rescue disk, use the virtual keyboard, deleting activity history, analyzing browser security, and troubleshoot Windows.
Browser security adviser identified several weaknesses in Internet Explorer and keep them. Small objects like this is a nice touch and added value.
In the Use and Effectiveness
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 history
Kaspersky does not interfere and does not interfere with Internet surfing or office productivity. Advisor clean URL is integrated with Firefox and Internet Explorer. The "K" system tray icon serves as an indication only application running. Renewal is completely automated.
To test the effectiveness of Kaspersky I use several virus files from Eicar.org, an IT security site. The four files available for download, which has a different extension, including. Com,. Zip, and. Txt, contains a virus. Please see the description of tests for complete information about the test. Antivirus software should detect the file as a threat.
Kaspersky identified as a threat prior to file download initialized and deny download - This is the most pro-active antivirus application we have tested to date, same as last year. All other antivirus applications we tested this file is identified as a threat but often only after the download is completed or the hard drives are scanned.
Kaspersky provides a rather comprehensive history of action, as shown on the left.
Performance Impact
We evaluate the performance impact of antivirus software in three ways:
1. Overall system performance is measured before and after the installation of antivirus using PCMark
2. Memory footprint
3. Full system scan time
Our test system is an HP Pavilion dv5t:
* Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 (2.26GHz/3MB L2/1066MHz FSB)
* 4GB RAM
* 500GB 5400RPM hard drive
* Windows Vista Home Premium x86
Impact overall system performance is measured with PCMark Vantage
Below are the before-(left) and after installation (right) PCMark benchmark for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 on our test PC:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 preinstall benchmark
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 post-install benchmark
Very small differences can be caused by errors benchmark.
System Memory Footprint and Scan Time
Task Manager shows Kaspersky uses less than 10MB memory, which describes the efficiency program.
Initial scan our test system 122GB hard drive that contains data about two hours, which is very long. Norton Antivirus 2010 time 44 minutes with the comparison. The second scan took only 47 minutes, however, because the files that previously had spent scanned. Something that we noticed is how many objects Kaspersky scan - 728,144 - versus Norton - 304,748. Kaspersky seems to be doing a more thorough scan, although I can not verify this.
Conclusion
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 remains a class-leading safety package for home users. It's very proactive protection and sleek and polished interface that is easy to navigate. Including additional utilities such as vulnerability scanners and browsers are welcome to add value. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 with MSRP $ 59.99, but includes three licenses. We strongly recommend Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 for the reasons mentioned.
