The primary aim of this course is to show how computers can be protected from malware as well as from network and phishing attacks with the help of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. Below you will find explanations on how to optimize anti-virus settings so as to make computing safer and more comfortable. Included in this course are demonstrations on how to effectively use anti-virus programs in our day to day activity.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Kaspersky Internet Security 2011
|
This chapter includes information on threats that a typical home user may encounter. It also explains basic principles of protection against these threats. A clear explanation regarding the difference between Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Anti Virus as well as a step by step procedure in installing and initial configuration of the software is also discussed in this chapter |
|
Chapter 2. File System Protection
|
An ideal anti-virus must efficiently detect viruses and other malware, and consume minimum system resources. Unfortunately, these two requirements often conflict. In order to achieve optimal balance between security and usability, different anti-virus settings maybe utilized in some cases. This chapter describes file system protection in Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, and explains how to optimize it |
|
Chapter 3. Protection when Working in a Network
|
This chapter describes the components that protect data transfer channels: Mail Anti-Virus, Web Anti-Virus, IM Anti-Virus and Network Attack Blocker |
|
Chapter 4. Action Control
|
Protection of the file system and data transfer channels makes it possible to fight already known threats. However, it is equally important to provide protection from new malware and minimize unwanted consequences if the computer gets infection. These functions are for the most part delegated to the components that control actions of running programs, which forms the subject of this chapter |
|
Chapter 5. Data Filtering
|
This chapter describes how contents of web sites and e-mail messages are filtered in Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. Sometimes information received by the user from these sources is unnecessary and sometimes even undesirable. Data filtering is complicated because the same information can be important for one user and undesirable for another. That is why filtering criteria should be configured individually |
Each chapter is based on a presentation which provides the information
