Kaspersky Lab releases 2012 versions of Internet Security

Kaspersky Lab has unveiled the 2012 versions of its home user products at The Park Hotel in Kolkata. The new versions of Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Internet Security are designed to provide Internet users with maximum protection and convenience.

With just one click, users of Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 can find out about the reputation of any file on a local computer and make an informed decision as to whether or not to use it. All that the users need to do is to right-click on the file's icon and select the 'View file reputation in KSN' menu option. Users will then be shown the file's threat rating as determined by the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service, which has been greatly improved since its inception and development three years ago. In addition to a file's rating, users can also find out about the geographical distribution of the file, the level of trust attributed to it by other users and other similar information stored by Kaspersky Lab's cloud tracking and rapid response systems.

The Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 interfaces now feature 3D and animated graphics. The animated area of the main window contains intuitive icons for key actions, including disk scans, database updates, etc. and can also be used with touch-screen devices. Product installation has also been optimized, minimizing any conflicts with incompatible security software. Additionally, the steps for activating and purchasing licences can now all be found in one convenient window.

Eugene Kaspersky, CEO & Co-Founder, Kaspersky Lab, said, "The new 2012 versions continue the long tradition of excellence that our home user products have come to be known for. They feature integrated, world-class protection technologies designed to combat even the most complex of threats. At the same time, these products are now simpler and more user-friendly than ever before. We have taken yet another huge step in protecting Internet users against the most dangerous, unknown threats out there. Many of the modules featured in Kaspersky Internet Security 2012, such as web-antivirus, heuristics, the threat rating sub-system and anti-rootkit components have been made easier to update and now interact more effectively with cloud technologies."
