Virus detection and notification.

Quarantine potentially infected objects.

Real-time Internet traffic scanning. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 scans all HTTP Internet traffic in real-time no matter which browser you use. Malicious programs are detected before they are able to infect your computer. You can use the Internet for business or pleasure and still be secure.

On-access and on-demand file scanning. You can scan any and all areas on your computer from individual files to drives to removable storage media. You can also chose to scan only critical areas such as start up objects, which are a favorite target for virus writers.

Security for your data

Prevents criminals from harvesting your data. Many of today's Trojans and keyloggers are designed to send your data to third parties without your knowledge or consent. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 detects and destroys such programs, making sure that your data stays where it belongs until you decide to share it.

Rollback of malicious changes. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 monitors system and application behavior for suspicious behavior. Once malicious behavior is detected, the process is blocked and all of the changes are rolled back, leaving you with a clean system and your original data intact.

Stability and critical protection

Rescue disk. Creating a rescue disk is quick and easy using the built in wizard in Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If your computer is ever attacked by a virus, you can restore and disinfect your system right away by yourself using the rescue disk you created even if the operating system has been damaged.

Self-protection. Today virus writers begin their attack on your computer by disabling anti-virus protection. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is designed to block all attempts to disable protection, leaving you to work and play securely.

Simple and Convenient

Quick installation and configuration. Express installation takes only a few minutes of your time. The default settings have been configured to provide best performance and best security, so you only need to install the program and can immediately return to your usual activities. If you enjoy customizing your security, the solution has extensive and flexible configuration options that will allow you to adjust the settings exactly as you like.

Minimal load on your system. A range of technologies ensures that you get the best out from your computer and stay secure: only new and changed files are scanned in real-time; scanning is paused if your other activities require additional resources; default settings for real-time monitoring ensure maximum performance.

Automatic hourly updates. Kaspersky Anti-Virus checks for updates on Kaspersky Lab servers regularly. In case of virus outbreaks the checks are more frequent. All updates are downloaded and installed automatically. You don't need to worry about a thing.

Product Description
As soon as you turn on your PC and venture online to the web, viruses are waiting to attack your system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Improvement Over Norton, October 13, 2007

By	J. Adams (NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After a series of frustrations with Norton Antivirus I resolved to search for a better alternative. I noticed that Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0 was well regarded by the user community, so I decided to make the switch to 7.0 when I purchased my new computer.

Kaspersky has far exceeded my expectations. I experienced no problems whatever with installation--no other antivirus programs had been installed since this was a new computer. Moreover, I found the program to be readily adaptable to my needs as a user. Most important, Kaspersky allowed me to set the level of intrusion that I wanted rather than to simply tolerate too high a level, which is clearly undesirable. I particularly liked the feature that allows you to set the update at a time that is suitable for you. (I chose daily at 7:30 AM rather than hourly.) I also liked the backup disk feature, which is easy to use and essential for system recovery. All of these capabilities are documented in the well-written, 67 page User's Guide. The crucial point to see is that Kaspersky gives you more choice and more control than has usually been the case.

In short, I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking an improved, nicely behaved, and easily customized antivirus program. Kaspersky 7.0 is an outright winner among the alternatives that I am aware of.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is a good AVS product but..., October 5, 2007

By	Olivier Langlois "www.OlivierLanglois.net" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 is a good product. It has all the properties that I am expecting from an AVS.

- It updates itself daily via Internet
- Offers good performance. It will not bog down older computers while protecting your PC like some competitor products do.
- It actually catch many Virus and Trojan programs. I am with Kaspersky since version 5 and feel secure as this AVS has actually intercepted and neutralized many virus and trojans that I was receiving through e-mails or other means that I have never figured out.

However, this is by far a perfect product. In my opinion, its proactive defense is way to much intrusive to be actually useful. When this feature is turned on, it is going to prompt for your approval anytime an installation program wants to write into the registry, a process tries to launch another process (ie: Internet Explorer that launch Outlook when you click on an e-mail link on a web page) or just if an application tries to load a DLL.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent A/V software, December 23, 2007

By	Hendrick Kipp "Rick Kipp" (Fort Myers, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This software has received rave reviews elsewhere. What I most like is that the download is fairly small, and you can see (feel) that when you realize that your 'puter didn't slow down at all. Very non-intrusive program, with auto update and scheduled scans whenever you want.
