Review: Kaspersky Internet Security 2012


Review: Kaspersky Internet Security 2012

by SoftwareGuru

If you're reading this Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 review with a bias towards your own preferred security brand, please leave it aside for a minute.

To evaluate the Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 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.

Yours 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 2012 can meet all of these requirements as well as offering much more.













Financial & Personal info protection

So as we've discussed in this Kaspersky 2012 review the real time protection features provided are both practical and comprehensive.

Kaspersky internet security 2012 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.
