Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 7.0

The latest version of Kaspersky free anti-virus suite - version 7.0 is a users delight with many powerful additional features. it has virtually strengthened all its previous feature and added few more.

The Firewall feature in the latest version, so vital in this digital age is  very powerful and some experts even feel that it has overtaken ZoneAlarm as the most powerful firwall for internet security. On the other hand the new version does not separate between viruses and spywares and threated all threat to your system as the same.  This is a top class anti-virus or anti-spyware engine with over 120 companies already licensed to use it with their products.

There is a drawback however. The first scan after installation may take several hours as the engine scans each and every file minutely and creates a database of virus for future reference and for installing precautionary measures. Ant-phising feature has also improved tremendously and an ever updating list of blacklisted sites can’t escape the signature scan tool.

The parental control tool  is a wonderful additional feature that allows parents to control the internet access process on their family system through 3 different permission levels. another gem in the kitty is the privacy control module that intercepts automated attempts to transmit sensitive data like passwords. The usual features like detailed report , scanning controls are excellent in the KIS 7 pack.

Only one drawback is — confusing user interface.
