Antivirus is the kind of software that you need to use for an extended period of time in order to fully test its features and capabilities. Still, after having tested Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 only for a few hours, you already get a positive impression.
Like other similar apps, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 takes you through a lengthy installation process, including the eventual removal of any non-compatible security software. Once launched, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 will not only take care of your file system, but also your email, web browsing and even IM conversations. All these filters can be tweaked in the program's comprehensive settings menu.
Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 offers four different scanning modes: Full scan, Quick scan, Start Objects scan and Vulnerability scan. Each one of them can be triggered manually or set to run according to a customizable schedule. The program also includes the so called Proactive Defense, a special module that protects your system in real time and can take care of any suspicious behavior right on the spot.
Besides being an antivirus, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 features a few extra security tools, with which you can create a rescue disk, tune up your browser settings and erase user activity traces, among other tasks.
Regarding system resources, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 seems to be quite light on them. On the downside, the program is constantly showing reminders to encourage you to upgrade to the full version, and slows down the start-up time of other apps – due to the perceptive scanning.
All in all, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is a nice program. It protects you in real time and lets you scan your system for possible vulnerabilities. It's a suitable tool for all levels of users - clear enough for the less experienced, while also offering serious customization options for the more tech-savvy.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus offers a complete protection against virus, Trojans and worms for your file system, email and web browsing.
