We regularly found links which had no icon at all, not even the gray "no information" graphic. This delivered much better results than last year, with many more sites recognized, but there are still problems. The URL Advisor adds icons to search engine results, highlighting the safety of each link. Smaller but still welcome additions see better protection of clipboard data, smarter parental controls, faster startup time and reduced resource consumption, amongst others.ĭetecting malware is good, but it would be better to avoid it in the first place, and Kaspersky offers several protective layers to try and make that happen. It will also detect and warn you of vulnerabilities when you connect to a Wi-Fi network, apparently, although we’re not clear what’s covered. Still, it’s a welcome extra touch, and while we couldn’t test the system properly, a very brief look suggests it works as described.įirewall tweaks mean that Kaspersky can optionally block the transmission of non-encrypted passwords when you’re using Wi-Fi. In particular, backups will be deleted when Kaspersky is closed, so if the malware isn’t identified immediately then at least some files will be lost.
If the program is found to be malware then not only will it be removed, but your documents will be restored, too. Kaspersky’s System Watcher now looks out for suspect programs trying to modify user files, and backs up the originals. More interesting is the brand-new protection from Cryptolocker-type malware. We found it also worked on a generic third-party product, but there are no guarantees, and the protection is limited anyway (there’s nothing to stop an application accessing only audio data). While this sounds great, it’s difficult to achieve, and Kaspersky says it’s only supported on 10 webcam models (5 Microsoft, 5 Logitech). The Application Control module warns you if an untrusted program tries to connect, and nothing will happen unless you give permission. Kaspersky’s latest now offers some protection from "camfecting", illicit attempts to access your webcam.

It’s easy to use, highly configurable, had only an average performance effect on our PC (boot time was around 20 percent longer), and detected and removed everything we threw at it. Still, in terms of protecting our system, Kaspersky Internet Security 2015 did very well.

And although the program claims to scan outgoing attachments by default, we were able to email malware in zip files to another account without any problem.

But there’s no way to scan the archive on demand, perhaps if you want to send several zips to someone else (right-clicking and selecting "Scan for viruses" reports "no threats detected"). Our system wasn’t compromised, as any malware was eliminated just as soon as we extracted it. We could download infected archives without issue. We weren’t quite so happy with Kaspersky’s handling of archives, as it doesn’t scan their contents. A single sample remained, but even that turned out to be our fault, not Kaspersky’s: close inspection revealed it wasn’t actually malware, after all. Almost everything was eliminated before it had a chance to cause any damage. We collected malware samples from emails, infected torrents and newsgroup files, and from recently-reported malicious domains.
The package also scored very well in our own, much smaller tests. AV-Comparatives’ Real-World Protection Test for March-June 2014 wasn’t quite such a success - Kaspersky "only" blocked 99.5 percent of threats - but that was still enough to place it 5th out of 22. As we write, AV-Test’s latest reports show the Kaspersky 2014 detecting 100 percent of both common and 0-day malware. Kaspersky cloud-assisted antivirus technology is highly rated by independent testing labs, and it’s not difficult to see why. It only took a few moments, and we were ready for testing. Fortunately this wasn’t difficult to spot, or fix: click Settings > Protection Center, every protective layer is listed, and you’re able to disable or enable them with a click. We did have a few issues with the initial setup, with for example our spam filter being turned off by default. It’s all very straightforward, and even newcomers to Kaspersky should quickly find what they need. Four large buttons give access to key areas (Scan, Update, Safe Money, Parental Control), and links give one-click access to your settings and a list of other tools. The interface looks a little different to previous editions - lighter, more subdued - but it feels very similar.
