Kaspersky Total Security

Kaspersky Total Security Overview

Kaspersky Total Security provides comprehensive protection against various types of information security threats, network and phishing attacks, and spam. Various functions and protection components are available as part of Kaspersky Total Security to deliver comprehensive protection.

Protection components are designed to protect the computer against various types of information security threats, network attacks, fraud, and spam. Every type of threat is handled by an individual protection component (see the description of components in this section). You can enable and disable protection components, and configure their settings.

In addition to the real-time protection provided by the security components, we recommend that you regularly scan your computer for viruses and other malware. This is necessary in order to prevent any possible spreading of malicious programs that have not been discovered by protection components, for example, because a low security level was set or for other reasons.

To keep Kaspersky Total Security up to date, you need to update the databases and application modules used by the application.

Features of Kaspersky Total Security

• File Anti-Virus
  File Anti-Virus prevents infection of the computer’s file system. The component starts upon startup of the operating system, continuously remains in the computer’s RAM, and scans all files that are opened, saved, or launched on your computer and all connected drives. Kaspersky Total Security intercepts each attempt to access a file and scans the file for known viruses and other malware. Further access to the file is allowed only if the file is not infected or is successfully disinfected by the application. If a file cannot be disinfected for any reason, it is deleted. A copy of the file is moved to Quarantine when that happens. If an infected file is placed in the same location where the deleted file with the same name used to be, Quarantine saves only a copy of the last file. A copy of the previous file with the same name is not saved.
• Mail Anti-Virus
  Mail Anti-Virus scans incoming and outgoing email messages on your computer. An email message is available to the recipient only if it does not contain dangerous objects.
• Web Anti-Virus
  Web Anti-Virus intercepts and blocks the execution of scripts on websites if they pose a threat. Web Anti-Virus also monitors all web traffic and blocks access to dangerous websites.
• IM Anti-Virus
  IM Anti-Virus ensures the safe use of IM clients. The component protects information that comes to your computer via IM protocols. IM Anti-Virus ensures safe operation of various applications for instant messaging.
• Application Control
  Application Control logs actions performed by applications in the operating system, and manages applications’ activities based on the group to which the component has assigned an application. A set of rules is specified for each group of applications. These rules manage the applications’ access to various operating system resources.
• Application Manager
  Application Manager lets you manage applications installed on the computer and control changes that applications make to operating system settings. Certain browser settings and proxy server settings belong to the controlled settings.
• Webcam Protection
  Webcam Protection blocks unauthorized access to the webcam and notifies you that access has been blocked.
• Firewall
  Firewall ensures your security when you use local networks and the Internet. The component filters all network activities by using rules of two types: rules for applications and packet rules.
• Network Monitor
  Network Monitor is designed for monitoring network activity in real time.
• System Watcher
  The System Watcher component rolls back the changes made to the operating system by malware. The component protects against malware, including exploits, screen lockers, and encryptors that encrypt data and extort ransom for restoring files to their original state. Disabling this component is not recommended.
• Network Attack Blocker
  Network Attack Blocker loads at operating system startup and tracks incoming network traffic for activities characteristic of network attacks. When an attempt to attack your computer is detected, Kaspersky Total Security blocks all network activity from the attacking computer that is aimed at your computer.
• Anti-Spam
  Anti-Spam integrates into the email client installed on your computer and scans all incoming email messages for spam. All messages containing spam are marked with a special header. You can configure Anti-Spam to handle spam messages in a particular way (for example, delete them automatically or move them to a special folder).
• Anti-Phishing
  Anti-Phishing allows checking URLs to find out if they are included in the list of phishing URLs. This component is built into Web Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and IM Anti-Virus.
• Anti-Banner
  Anti-Banner blocks ad banners on websites and in application interfaces.
• Private Browsing
  Private Browsing detects requests sent by the browser to tracking services and can modify requests to and responses from tracking services in a way that protects you from tracking of your online activity.
• Safe Money
  Safe Money provides protection of confidential data when using online banking services and payment systems, and prevents theft of funds when making online payments.
• Secure Keyboard Input
  Secure Keyboard Input provides protection from keyloggers for personal data entered on websites. On-Screen Keyboard prevents interception of data entered on the hardware keyboard and protects personal data against interception attempts that use screen shots.
