Protecting Your PCs with Kaspersky
We discussed the primary Internet security threats—malware, hacking, phishing, and spam—how to protect against them, and how the Kaspersky Lab products can help. Remember, cloud protection—like from Kaspersky’s Urgent Detection System—can better help identify and catch those new zero-day infections and dangerous sites.
Kaspersky Lab also includes bonus tools in their products. You can create a Kaspersky Rescue Disk to scan unbootable PCs or those with stubborn infections that can’t be removed within Windows. The MS Windows Troubleshooting tool can search for and repair system settings, the Privacy Cleaner can clear cache and temporary files, and the Browser Configuration tool can analyze the security of your Internet Explorer settings.
Kaspersky Lab offers a product line with varying security features, license lengths, and number of supported PCs, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs and budget:
· Anti-Virus 2012 ($39.95 for 1 PC) is the most basic option includes the Hybrid Protection for malware and phishing protection.
· Internet Security 2012 ($79.95 for 3 PCs) adds the firewall, spam protection, and parental controls.
· PURE Total Security ($89.95 for 3 PCs) adds backup and encryption capabilities, a password manager, and the ability to centrally manage the security of all your PCs from one computer.
· Small Office Security ($179.95 for 5 PCs), basically their PURE Total Security product designed specifically for small businesses.
Keep in mind, Kaspersky Lab doesn’t just protect Windows PCs. They have Anti-Virus for Mac, Mobile Security 9 for smartphones, and Tablet Security for Android-based tablets.
