Manufacturer's Description
Today, threats to PCs are appearing in ever-greater numbers and diversity. Cyber criminals on the Internet are well organized and tend to target PCs with combined threats. A standalone antivirus solution is no longer enough to fully protect your computer.

From the global leader in reaction time to Internet threats, Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 is a fully integrated solution that combines reactive detection methods with the latest proactive technologies, protecting your computer from all of the most common Internet threats, including viruses, hacker attacks, adware, Spam, spyware and phishing attacks.

 Key advantages include:

Safely socialise online. All your mail traffic is scanned for viruses at the protocol level (POP3, IMAP and NNTP for incoming messages and SMTP for outgoing messages) on any mail program. Kaspersky Internet Security continuously scans all your HTTP Internet traffic and email for viruses in real-time, with any Internet browser, providing protection when socializing via email, instant messaging services, such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, AOL Instant Messaging and ICQ, and when using Skype Internet telephony. The integrated spam filter keeps your mailbox clean, clear and spam free.

Securely download programs and music. All objects downloaded from the Internet are scanned for viruses, ensuring that programs and files do not carry malicious code to your computer.

Confidently share files. When creating documents on your computer and sharing files with your colleagues and friends, you can be confident that they are safe. The program scans all portable data storage devices (e.g. CDs, DVDs, flashcards and external hard disks) for malicious programs.

Worry-free web surfing. You can browse websites, read online news and take part in forum discussions, confident that your computer is secure against hacker attacks and malicious programs. The program scans web pages in real-time and blocks pop-up windows, while the personal firewall shields your computer from hacker attacks.

Proactive protection online. When using online shops and banking services, you can be certain that you and your computer are secure against outside surveillance, information theft and phishing attacks. The program warns you of any dangerous, suspicious or hidden (e.g. rootkit) processes the moment they appear, blocking any harmful changes and restoring the system after malicious activity.

Safeguarded when mobile. Wherever you travel, on business trips or vacations, Kaspersky Internet Security safeguards your laptop. The program helps you choose the safest operation mode for the network you are working on, and makes timely updates to the anti-virus databases via your connection, WiFi connections included.

Customer Reviews

This is the best!
I have to say I was cautious from moving away from my free Zone Alarm with its limited abilities as it was still a very useful firewall that worked!
All I can say is this is the best buy this year for me and its July already pretty much!
I saved a shed load of memory by dumping Norton Utilities and Zone Alarm with Lavasoft Adaware and Spybot...this program does it all in one and my lord it does it well. Everything loads up in at least half the time, I have increased my FPS in games by a minimum of 10 and my browsing speed has increased significantly as well as my latency improving for the better.
I would recommend this to anyone and am in fact telling all my friends to buy it when I catch them online.
Buy this you will not regret it!

Excellent protection and ease of use
You can get cheaper but I doubt you can get better than Kaspersky.
I had been a previous user of Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2006. I went to get NIS 2007 and saw on the box it didnt state it was compatible with windows 2000 Pro that I have on my PC's. I wasnt going to upgrade my operating systems just to use my firewall and antivirus. I was also disaponited with NIS - support was unimpressive, I had numerous problems with previous versions and although NIS2006 was stable it slowed my PC so much (Norton trademark?). It only updated at a fixed time each day so if my PC was off then no update happened; when updates did happen I could tell because my PC apps went slower during the download (they are often large).
Kaspersky was ranked No. 1 in reviews I saw. I downloaded the free 1 month trial; this is a fully functional version. In summary it is a great piece of software. Easy to install, easy to use and extensive coverage of protection. A better user interface in my view than NIS, clear, comprehensive and simple. And it updates frequently so each download is small and quick and much less chance that your PC will be off at the scheduled update times so it keeps your PC up to date easily. It also is available with a 2 year license. My PC is definitely a lot faster than with NIS. Kaspersky seems to give better protection while surfing the web - I got a few warnings never seen with NIS. It also allows you to delete emails before even downloading them to your PC. I bought a licensed copy, entered the license code into the trial version and now I have a full version of Kaspersky and its great.

Much better than Norton offerings
I have been using Norton for years until a friend showed me a review where it came last and let lots of problems in. I downloaded the months trial version of Kaspersky and let it run. It found 118 spyware, trojans and viruses that Norton was oblivious to. I will never use Norton again as it is not as good as they would like you to belive. I bought the 3 user Kaspersky which for some unkown reason is cheaper than the single use version. I can't wait to get it on all my machines. Since using this and removing Norton my machine must be about 20% faster and much more stable. Norton is known to slow machines down and hog resources but until you take it off you don't realise how much. Kaspersky also does daily updates so the system should be far more secure than with Norton and its slow updates. I have binned Norton for good and cannot recommned Kaspersky enough.
