KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 6.0 FOR
WINDOWS WORKSTATIONS
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations heralds a new generation of data security products.
What really sets Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations 6.0 apart from other software, even from other
Kaspersky Lab products, is its multi-faceted approach to data security.
OVERVIEW
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations has a new approach to data security. The program‟s main feature is
that it combines and noticeably improves the existing features of all the company‟s products in one security solution. The
program provides protection against viruses, spam attacks, hacker attacks, unknown threats, phishing, and rootkits.
You will no longer need to install several products on your computer for overall security. It is enough simply to install
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations 6.0.
Comprehensive protection guards all incoming and outgoing data channels. All of the program‟s components have
flexible settings that enable Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations to adapt to the needs of each user.
Configuration of the entire program can be done from one location.
WHAT’S NEW IN KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 6.0 FOR WINDOWS
WORKSTATIONS
Let‟s take a look at the new features in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations.
New Protection Features
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations protects you both from known malicious programs, and from
programs still unknown. Proactive Defense is the program‟s key advantage. It analyzes the behavior of
applications installed on your computer, monitoring changes to the system registry, tracking macros, and fighting
hidden threats. The component uses a heuristic analyzer to detect and record various types of malicious activity,
with which actions taken by malicious programs can be rolled back and the system can be restored to its state
prior to the malicious activity.
The program protects the computer against rootkits and dialers, blocks banner ads, popup windows, and
malicious scripts downloaded from web pages, and detects phishing sites.
File Anti-Virus technology has been improved to lower the CPU load and increase the speed of file scans.
iChecker™ and iSwift™ help achieve this. By operating this way, the program rules out scanning files twice.
The scan process now runs as a background task, enabling the user to continue using the computer. If there is a
competition for system resources, the virus scan will pause until the user‟s operation is completed and then
resumes at the point where it left off.
Critical areas of the computer, which if infected would seriously affect data quality or security, are given their
own separate task. This task can be configured to run automatically every time the system is started.
Protection for email systems against malicious programs and spam has been significantly improved. The
program scans these protocols for emails containing viruses and spam:
IMAP, SMTP, POP3, regardless of which email client you use
K A S P E R S K Y S M A L L O F F I C E S E C U R I T Y
9
NNTP (virus scan only), regardless of the email client
Regardless of the protocol (MAPI, HTTP) when using plug-ins for Microsoft Office Outlook and The Bat!
Special plug-ins are available for the most common mail clients, such as Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express
(Windows Mail), and The Bat! These place email protection against both viruses and spam directly in the mail
client.
Anti-Spam now has a training mode, based around the iBayes algorithm, which learns by monitoring how you
deal with email. It also provides maximum flexibility in configuring spam detection – for instance, you can create
black and white lists of addressees and key phrases that mark email as spam.
Anti-Spam uses a phishing database, which can filter out emails designed to obtain confidential financial
information.
The program filters inbound and outbound traffic, traces and blocks threats from common network attacks, and
lets you use the Internet in Stealth Mode.
When using a combination of networks, you can also define which networks to trust completely and which to
monitor with extreme caution.
The user notification function has been expanded for certain events that arise during program operation. You
can select the method of notification yourselves for each of these event types: e-mails, sound notifications, popup messages.
Scanning has been added for data transmitted across secure SSL connections.
The program has added self-defense features, including protection against unauthorized remote administration
tools and password-protected program settings. These features help keep malicious programs, hackers, and
unauthorized users from disabling protection.
You can also create a rescue disk, with which you can reboot your operating system after a virus outbreak and
scan your computer for malicious code.
New Program Interface Features
The new Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations interface makes the program‟s functions clear and
easy to use. You can also change the program‟s appearance by using your own graphics and color schemes.
The program regularly provides you with tips as you use it: Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations
displays informative messages on the level of protection, accompanies its operation with hints and tips, and
includes a thorough Help section.
New Program Update Features
This version of the program debuts our improved update procedure: Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically checks
the update source for updates. If it finds new updates, Anti-Virus downloads them and installs them on the
computer.
The program downloads updates incrementally, ignoring files that have already been downloaded. This lowers
the download traffic for updates by up to 10 times.
Updates are downloaded from the most efficient source.
You can choose not to use a proxy server, by downloading program updates from a local source. This
noticeably reduces the traffic on the proxy server.
The program has an update rollback feature that can return to the previous version of the signatures, if the
threat signatures are damaged or there is an error in copying.
A tool has been added to Updater that copies updates to a local folder to give other computers on the network
access to them. This cuts down on Internet traffic.

WHAT KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS 6.0 FOR WINDOWS WORKSTATIONS
DEFENSE IS BUILT ON
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations protection is built with the sources of threats in mind. In other words,
each threat is dealt with by a separate application component that monitors it and takes the necessary actions to prevent
malicious impact of that source on the user's data. This makes setup flexible, with easy configuration options for all
components, which can be tailored to the needs of a specific user or the business as a whole.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations includes:
Protection Components (on page 10) that provide defense that covers all channels of data transmission and
exchange on your computer in real-time mode.
Virus Scan Tasks (on page 11), with which the computer or separate files, folders, disks, or areas are scanned
for viruses.
Update (on page 11) that ensures the up-to-date status of the internal application modules and the databases
used to detect malicious programs, network attacks, and spam messages.
Support features (see section "Application support features" on page 11) provide information support for working
with the application and expanding its capabilities.
PROTECTION COMPONENTS
The following protection components provide defense for your computer in real time:
File Anti-Virus
File Anti-Virus monitors the file system of the computer. It scans all files that can be opened, executed or saved on
your computer and all attached disk drives. for Windows Workstations intercepts each attempt to access a file and
scans such file for known viruses. The file can only be processed further if the file is not infected or is successfully
treated by the application. If a file cannot be disinfected for any reason, it will be deleted, with a copy of the file saved
in backup, or moved to quarantine.
Mail Anti-Virus
Mail Anti-Virus scans all incoming and outgoing email messages on your computer. It analyzes emails for malicious
programs. The email is available to the addressee only if it does not contain dangerous objects. The component also
analyzes email messages to detect phishing.
Web Anti-Virus
Web Anti-Virus intercepts and blocks scripts on websites if they impose a threat. All HTTP traffic is subject to careful
inspection. The component also analyzes web pages to detect phishing.
Proactive Defense
Proactive Defense allows detecting a new malicious program before it performs its malicious activity. The component
is designed around monitoring and analyzing the behavior of all applications installed on your computer. Judging by
the actions executed by an application, Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations makes a decision if the
application is potentially dangerous. So your computer is protected not only from known viruses, but from new ones
as well that still have not been discovered.
Anti-Spy
Anti-Spy tracks the unauthorized advertising (banner ads, pop-up windows), intercepts the dialers attempting to
establish a connection with pay-per-use websites, and block them.
K A S P E R S K Y S M A L L O F F I C E S E C U R I T Y
