Kaspersky Ant-Virus Personal Pro provides full-scale protection with some additional protective components - a behavior blocker and integrity checker; appropriate for experienced users seeking the best anti-virus.

100% protection from macro-viruses!

Office Guard, integrated into Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro, constantly controls macros executed on your computer, and prohibits any suspicious action. The unique technology of the behavior blocker underlying Office Guard guarantees 100% protection from destructive macro-virus action, leaving no chance for any malicious macros to damage your computer.

Reliably controlling data integrity

The integrity checker, Inspector - integrated into Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro - traces content changes on your computer. If Inspector detects a virus attack (unauthorized changes in files or system registry), it will enable the complete disinfection and recovery of your disk. Inspector does not require anti-virus database updates, since it checks the integrity of the developing hard disk files, CRC database and later, when started, checks files for CRC modifications against the database. Unlike other integrity checkers, our Inspector supports all of the most commonly used executable file formats, and increases productivity fivefold while maintaining a high level of protection and reliability.

Permanent e-mail anti-virus filtration

Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro automatically check for viruses in all incoming and outgoing messages in real time, and will prevent viruses from penetrating your computer. Supporting many e-mail database formats (MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, MS Exchange, Eudora, MS Mail, Pegasus Mail, Netscape Mail, JSMail, MIME, The BAT), the program is effective against viruses in e-mail message storage areas. In addition to this, the built in Mail Checker efficiently deletes viruses from e-mail messages, and completely restores the original contents of your messages.

Comprehensive virus checking in e-mail messages

Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro does not allow a virus to hide in any of the message components. The program automatically checks for viruses in all areas of incoming and outgoing messages, i.e. attached files (including archived and compressed files), other messages of any nesting level, embedded OLE objects and the message body.

Protecting data storages

The anti-virus Scanner, provides a comprehensive check of all local and network drive contents on demand. You may start your scanner manually or schedule its start with Control Center™.

Unique system intercepting script viruses

Conventional anti-virus monitors are unable to protect your system from the destructive activity of script-viruses operating in your computer's RAM. Script Checker is the universal script-virus interceptor that completely solves this problem by integrating itself as a filter in-between the script-virus and its processor. This enables you to check for viruses in any script before it is executed.

Protection from even unknown viruses

Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro is powered by a unique integrated technology for unknown virus searching, based on the principals of second-generation heuristic analysis. Because of this, the program is able to protect you from even unknown viruses. The high effectiveness of Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro is proved by the fact that it was the only anti-virus in the world that repelled attacks by all "ILOVEYOU" virus variations without any additional anti-virus database updates.

Supporting archived and compressed files

Viruses often lurk inside files that have been compressed using special archiving utilities, rendering them invisible to many anti-virus programs. However, this is not true with Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro. Our program supports the majority of archived and compressed file formats, and automatically checks for viruses in their contents. Even if the virus has been compressed or archived multiple times using various archiving utilities, Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro detects it, deletes the virus and restores the file to working order.

Fully automated computer anti-virus protection

Does it annoy you to download anti-virus databases every day? Sometimes you simply forget to start your anti-virus monitor and scan your disks for viruses. In our busy lives, it is often hard to remember everything. By using the integrated Control Center in Kaspersky Anti-Virus™ Personal Pro, it enables you to create a flexible schedule for the program components to be started and to automatically download and apply updates to your anti-virus databases via the Internet. The Control Center also enables e-mail notifications regarding detected virus attacks and controls the rights of other users by allowing/prohibiting them from changing your anti-virus settings.

Daily anti-virus database updates via the Internet

New viruses appear every day. The more frequently you update your anti-virus, the more reliable protection you have. We provide you with free* daily updates to your Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal Pro anti-virus databases! Using the built-in Updater module, you can easily download the updates automatically or just by one button-click from the Kaspersky Lab Web site.

Universal boot system

It allows for a "clean boot," and helps you to restore disks on any of the most popular file systems: FAT (DOS), FAT32 (Windows 95/98), NTFS (Windows NT/2000), HPFS (OS/2), EXT (Linux).
