MAIN APPLICATION FEATURES
Kaspersky Internet Security provides comprehensive computer protection against known and new threats, network and
phishing attacks, spam, and other unwanted content. Different functions and protection components are available as part
of Kaspersky Internet Security to deliver comprehensive protection.
Computer Protection
Protection components are designed to protect the computer against known and new threats, network attacks, fraud, and
spam and other unsolicited information. Every type of threat is handled by an individual protection component (see the
description of components in this section). Components can be enabled or disabled independently of one another, and
their settings can be configured.
In addition to the constant protection provided by the security components, we recommend that you regularly scan your
computer for viruses. This is necessary in order to rule out the possibility of spreading malicious programs that have not
been discovered by protection components, for example, because of a low security level set, or for other reasons.
To keep Kaspersky Internet Security up to date, you need to update the databases and software modules used by the
application.
Some specific tasks that should be executed occasionally (such as removal of traces of a user's activities in the system)
are executed using advanced tools and wizards.
The following protection components stand guard over your computer in real time:
Described below is the logic of operation of protection components in the Kaspersky Internet Security mode
recommended by Kaspersky Lab specialists (that is, with default application settings).
