Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus - the winner of numerous comparative tests conducted by leading computer magazines and research centers worldwide - is just what you are looking for. Kaspersky Lab's state-of-the-art technology provides relief against the constant headache of virus related attacks. We take care of your personal home computer anti-virus protection so that you may concentrate fully on the task at hand. Our software operates under DOS, Windows 95/98/ME, and Windows 2000/NT Workstation.

Permanent e-mail anti-virus filtration

Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus Personal automatically checks for viruses in all incoming and outgoing messages in real time and will prevent viruses from penetrating your computer system. By supporting many e-mail database formats (MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, MS Exchange, Eudora, MS Mail, Pegasus Mail, Netscape Mail, JSMail, MIME, The BAT), Kaspersky™ AVP 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 does not allow a virus to hide in any 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 on any nesting level, embedded OLE objects and the message body.

Protecting stored data

The anti-virus Scanner provides a comprehensive check of all local drive content on demand. You may start the scanner manually or schedule its start with the 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 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 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. 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 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. Using the integrated Control Center in Kaspersky Anti-Virus™ Personal 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 anti-virus databases! Using the built-in Updater module, you can easily download the updates automatically or by just one click of your mouse from the Kaspersky Lab Web site.
