Kaspersky Internet Security 8 is the latest in the line of software packages offering full protection in one place.

The antivirus component checks all emails as they arrive on the computer with special plug ins for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Internet traffic is also checked and malicious software prevented from running on the computer.

The firewall stops anyone from accessing your computer from the internet whether that is to steal personal information or automated software that is running without permission. It will check with the user when the computer is connected to a network (internet or home for example) to set the correct security level.

Dial up users are protected from premium rate number diallers that attempt to change the telephone number used to connect to the internet.

Personal information is kept safe as Kaspersky prevents confidential material from being stolen. Spam is also blocked to help save time.
