Review: Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 PC Download
Can Kaspersky Maintain Lead?
by

Regular readers will be aware of my "software
is not a sports team" mantra.
If you're reading this Kaspersky Internet Security 2011
review with a bias towards your own preferred security
brand, please leave it aside for a minute.
To evaluate the Kaspersky Internet Security 2011
download, it's vital that you identify what your needs
are.
The average home user doesn't require, use or understand all of
the many options that all security packages now offer. That's
OK.
Your should have one simple objective: to take preventive steps
against the most likely source of trouble you may encounter
online.
This way no matter what security software you
use, you will get what you need from it.
For students: many strapped for cash students will be
familiar with torrent or peer-to-peer download sites. It's not
uncommon for hackers to target these sites with the aim of
installing malware on your computer through the browser, often
using javascript and bypassing your current security.
Browser and password security should be your top priority.
For parents and older users: you probably still use
email a lot in a non-work capacity and are more likely to open
email attachments and forward them to friends. Your priority
should be to have at least an antivirus solution which
scans all email as soon as it arrives in your inbox.
Parental control options over web content may
be useful too.
For both: if you use online banking,
an anti-keylogging monitor is a must to protect anyone from
finding out your login details.
Kaspersky 2011 can meet all of these
requirements as well as offering much more.

So as we've discussed in this Kaspersky 2011
review the real time protection features provided are both
practical and comprehensive.
Kaspersky internet security 2011 is constantly monitoring your
PC for incoming threats, whether they arrive via email
attachments, instant messaging, downloads or infected websites.
3 Quick Tips About Security:
1. If you use Facebook,
turn off all (or the majority) of your email notifications,
especially if you log in most days anyway. This will make it
easier for you to identify
Facebook phishing emails from spammers.
2. Windows Defender: if you have a real-time security monitor
program such as Kaspersky then turn this inadequate Windows
freebie off.
Open Windows Defender, click on Tools > Options, select
Administrator Options, and uncheck the Use Windows Defender box.
Confirm that you do indeed want to do this, click Close, and
you're all set.
Sometimes I reckon you would prevent more spyware
simply by
disabling 3rd party cookies in your browser than using
defender.
3. Windows Firewall: if you have a security firewall program
such as Kaspersky then turn this off to avoid conflicts.
Lifehacker.com on Kaspersky:
"Consistently strong ratings in malware protection, worth
the license. Kaspersky also boasts an extremely quick response
time to new viruses, earning it a special place in the hearts
and system trays of its users."
High praise indeed from one of the web's most respected websites.

Kaspersky 2011 Download
If our
previous Kaspersky review was anything to go by, security
rivals Norton, McAfee, and AVG all had ground to make up.
Norton has definitely improved in recent versions but arguably
Kaspersky still has the edge in terms of real-time protection
against the latest browser hacking techniques.
In terms of price, look at this example:
Amazon's most popular yet more expensive deal is currently
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, 3 PC, 1 Year Subscription (PC)
at €48 on CD.
At Software4Students you can buy
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 download with the same user
licence and use it today for €31.85.
With Software4Students you save money, there is no waiting around, and you're not left
with another CD or DVD thrown into a drawer never to be looked
at again.
You can also choose to buy any of the
Kaspersky 2011 downloads with a variety of user licence
options.
Still not convinced? Take a look at this list of improvements:
Improved: Risk-based Application Control restricts
programs’ rights to access potentially vulnerable system
resources or share sensitive data on the Internet.
New: System Watcher - Heuristics-based analysis
monitors, restricts and blocks suspicious program behavior.
Improved: Safe Run mode launches questionable
applications and websites without risk.
Improved: Rescue CD disinfects the system after malware
attacks.
New: Safe Run for websites mode provides added security
for online banking and other similar activities where a high
risk of identity theft exists.
Improved: Advanced anti-malware technologies even allows
installation on infected PCs.
New: New System Watcher technology tracks, records and
analyzes suspicious activity and lets you roll back any
dangerous actions.
New: Safe Surf technology blocks malware and phishing
websites for great online security.
