The ransomware did manage to encrypt a handful of document files before Kaspersky could neutralize it. Next, the antivirus deleted the ransomware file from the PC.

#KASPERSKY PC TUNE UP SOFTWARE#

First, there was a quick notification that this ransomware indeed was a threat, before the software neutralized the process. Our ransomware got running, and the Kaspersky System Watcher module monitored the simulated ransomwareвЂ™s behavior. Although it is fairly simple, there is no chance of it being a known threat to Kaspersky, which means the software would need to identify it from its behavior, not from virus signatures. We pit Kaspersky Anti-Virus against our homebrew ransomware simulator.

Major competitors, including Avast and Avira, offer these options to appease their expert users, who many find KasperskyвЂ™s limitation of existing scan types only too, well, limiting. The option to create an 'Ultra Quick Scan' with just a few clicks would be welcome and also retain the option for the original Quick Scan. This was a helpful alert, considering that having this feature enabled makes the system vulnerable to USB key-based malware.Д®ven with all the different scan types, we still yearn for the ability to implement true custom scan types. When we ran the scan on our test PC, we were informed that autorun for removable drives is enabled by default and were able to address it with a few clicks. The Vulnerability Scan gives an assessment of how secure your system is, looking for expired security patches, vulnerable Windows settings and more. Just remember that granular control does have its compromises, as speeding up scans can reduce your level of malware protection.

Or maybe you only want to use Full System Scans to scrub specific network folders. You can speed up Quick Scans by configuring Kaspersky to skip old files, only sanitize new and modified files. Kaspersky Anti-Virus has choices for finely tuning each scan type, down to the details of the zone to be scrubbed, the type of file to be examined, a selection of the detection engine and the plan for detected threats (disinfecting the file, deleting it, or asking whatвЂ™s next). The custom configuration option is useful for scheduling a scan on the next day when the system is powered off, which will have less impact on your PCвЂ™s performance, and to limit scans to a locked or sleeping computer. We appreciate the simple scheduler that runs various scan types on an automated basis, which specifies scans for a daily, weekly or monthly interval. The Quick and Full scans both finished faster than the average for an antivirus suite when we benchmarked the software on our review system. Our testing confirmed that this version of antivirus software is KasperskyвЂ™s fastest to date. For example, three clicks are inputted into the console to set off a Quick Scan-not so quick, ultimately. The downside is that you have to do more navigation than is required of competitors. The Scan panel is used to initiate a quick or full system scan and can completely disinfect the entire storage drive or hone in on specific files and folders. Four main buttons cover all the essential tasks: launching a scan, updating a database, viewing a report and accessing the on-screen keyboard. Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses a simple interface to disclose the current protection status through a clean visual display with green indicators.

ItвЂ™s safe to say that this program is light on system resources. Kaspersky Anti-Virus took up about 275MB of space on our hard drive, with just two core processes, requiring a comparatively low 90MB RAM, running in the background.

On the other hand, being able to manage the update will be an asset for some users. Most other antivirus software automatically does this quietly in the background during the installation. KaperskyвЂ™s dashboard next updated the signatures and program files.
