Golden Systems Electronics, the leading distributor of IT products
in the Middle East, today announced the launch of Kaspersky Anti Virus
2009 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 in the UAE market.
Kaspersky's Version 2009 new generation products are designed to
protect home users from all types of security threats. It combines the
benefits of Kaspersky Lab's new antivirus engine and boasts of
dramatically improved scanning speeds and cutting-edge HIPS technology
which will block new malicious programs even before signatures have been
added to the antivirus databases.
"Kaspersky products have consistently scored high in
independent tests and offer market-leading protection and reliability.
Kaspersky Lab's newest products -- Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 and
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 -- are based on the very latest
developments in security technologies. Golden Systems is happy to
introduce these best-of-breed products in the UAE market," says Ms.
Mohadeseh Mirsamiei, Product Specialist, Golden Systems Electronics.
"These new products were developed in response to customer
feedback on two trends in IT security: the growing diversity and
sophistication of the threats they are facing and the increasingly
complex task of deploying and managing security across their IT
environments. These two key factors represent a major challenge to
system security and a severe drain on time and resources. By developing
solutions that provide comprehensive protection against the latest
threats, integrating more tightly with existing infrastructure and
simplifying the task of deploying and managing IT security,
Kaspersky's products can go a long way to addressing these key
customer issues," Ms. Mirsamiei adds.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 is a totally new approach to data
security. The main feature of the application is restricting the
programmes' rights to access the system resources. It helps prevent
unwanted actions by suspicious and hazardous applications. The
software's capabilities in the protection of user's
confidential data have been considerably enhanced. The application now
includes wizards and tools which substantially facilitate execution of
specific computer protection tasks.Kaspersky Lab experts predict huge
growth in the number of new malicious programs appearing in 2008; a
predicted ten-fold increase means the number of malicious programs will
exceed 20 million. Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 addresses this
threat by using a groundbreaking approach to antivirus protection:
system-wide monitoring to ensure users are completely protected from all
IT threats.Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 incorporates an innovative
application activity filtration module that makes use of HIPS
(Host-based Intrusion Prevention System) technology together with a
proactive defense module and an integrated firewall. These protect the
system against both known and unknown threats. Additionally, a white
list feature for trusted applications significantly reduces the need for
user interaction.New Security Analysis and Browser Setting features scan
the operating system and applications for vulnerabilities, and provide
options to enhance system security and significantly reduce the
likelihood of a malicious program penetrating the computer.At the heart
of the new generation of products is Kaspersky Lab's new antivirus
engine which is even more effective at detecting malicious programs than
its predecessor. The new engine dramatically increases system scanning
speed thanks to improved processing of objects and optimized use of
system resources, particularly on dual- and quad-core processor
platforms. The unique product architecture ensures high productivity and
one of the lowest uses of system resources in the industry.The range of
functions designed to protect confidential user data has also been
extended. The new generation products prevent users from unwittingly
accessing known phishing sites and preclude the theft of important
passwords and login details by keylogging programs. Kaspersky Internet
Security 2009 also includes a virtual keyboard that enables users to
enter logins and passwords safely. Moreover, Kaspersky Internet Security
2009 prevents the theft of data transferred via secure connections
(HTTPS, SSL) and can remove all traces of a user's Internet
activity (temporary files, cookies, etc.).
The components included in earlier product versions, such as the
firewall, heuristic analyzer, parental control module and anti-spam
module have all been enhanced and upgraded. The product interfaces have
also been redesigned, making them more transparent to beginners and more
experienced users alike. The new products include an automated
application mode which results in the best options being chosen without
the user being bothered by requests for action. Information about
protection status and any actions which need to be taken is also
presented in a clearer form.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 were
developed in line with the system requirements for Windows Vista and are
fully compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the operating
system. 2008 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)
