Kaspersky Internet Security overview

Kaspersky Internet Security protects computers running macOS against viruses and other computer security threats.

File Anti-Virus

File Anti-Virus protects the computer's file system in real time by intercepting and analyzing any attempts to access files. You can configure the actions that the application performs on infected files. By default, Kaspersky Internet Security disinfects or deletes malicious objects. Learn more.

Web Anti-Virus

Web Anti-Virus protects information that is sent and received by your computer over the HTTP and HTTPS protocols in Safari, Google Chrome™, and Firefox™ browsers. This component includes the Kaspersky Security browser extension, which you can install to scan website links for phishing and malicious web addresses and reduce the risk of interception when you enter passwords on websites.

Network Attack Blocker

Network Attack Blocker protects the computer against intrusions into the operating system. This component protects against cyberattackers (who use port scanning and brute-force attacks) and the malware they install (including malware that tries to send personal data to criminals). Learn more.

Scan

Kaspersky Internet Security detects and neutralizes viruses and other computer security threats on demand in the specified scan scope. You can configure the actions that the application performs on infected files. By default, Kaspersky Internet Security disinfects or deletes malicious objects.

You can also set up scanning options for external disks connected to the computer. Learn more.

The list of validated websites of banks, payment systems, and online stores is updated automatically along with the application databases. Learn more.
