Kaspersky Lab releases maintenance packs for three key antivirus
products
Updates released for Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal, Kaspersky®
Anti-Virus Personal Pro and Kaspersky® Anti-Virus for Windows
Workstations
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management
solutions that protect against viruses, Trojans, worms, hacker attacks,
spyware and spam, today announces the release of update packages for
three of its key antivirus products -- Maintenance Pack 4 for
Kaspersky® Anti-Virus Personal 5.0, Maintenance Pack 4 for Kaspersky
Anti-Virus Personal Pro 5.0 and Maintenance Pack 4 for Kaspersky
Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations 5.0.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal and Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro are
solutions designed to protect personal computers, while Kaspersky
Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations protects workstations running on
the Microsoft Windows platform. Although these antivirus products
feature different functions and varying configuration levels, they rely
upon the same underlying technologies. Each of the three programs
combines unobtrusive operation when set to operate in automatic mode,
thus not interfering with the user's work while providing reliable
control over all potential infection and penetration points, including
file operations, data storage and email.
A key improvement to Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0 with Maintenance
Pack 4 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro 5.0 with Maintenance Pack
4 is the revised antivirus database update system. Updates are now
smaller in size, helping users to minimize network traffic. The
maintenance packs also extend the list of supported archive formats by
adding treatment of ICE and LHA formats. This offers home users further
protection from malicious programs. Maintenance Pack 4 for Kaspersky
Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations 5.0 contains improvements that
include placing a much smaller burden on PC resources, so that
processing power is available for user applications.
Maintenance Pack 4 also adds the functionality of a firewall to the
system to protect the workstation even more securely. This means that
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations now protects workstations
against network attacks and offers a stealth mode whereby all outside
requests for a connection to the PC are blocked, thereby becoming
"invisible" to other network users. At the same time, network
functionality is not affected.
Overall, the release of new these Maintenance Packs from Kaspersky Lab
will mean over 40 improvements in effectiveness, reliability and
ease-of-use to these three antivirus products. Distribution packages
for the Maintenance Packs are available by clicking on the product name
