The second official beta of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2006 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2006 has been released. These two products belong to the products of a new generation developed by Kaspersky Lab. You will find the list of changes added to the product since the moment the first beta version release below.
1. Extended technology to set exclusions for applications
This technology allows configuring trusted relations both for the files that will not be scanned on some conditions, and which is more important - for applications. Also when a user defines a trusted application the following actions of the program towards it can be defined as well:
* Do not scan files opened by this application
* Do not control the application activity
* Do not control registry demand
* Do not scan network traffic
2. The technology to fight complicated mechanisms of virus self-protection against being detected by an anti-virus
The technology is aimed to fight complicated malicious programs that use different ways of self-protection against anti-virus programs.
The application scans for viruses “locked” files: i.e. files that are being used by another anti-virus application and cannot be scanned by usual method as they cannot be accessed. The new technology allows getting access to such files and scans them for malicious code.
3. Program installation on an already infected pc and disinfection of malicious programs that are active in the operating system
The technology is aimed to disinfect the system from malicious programs that have already launched their processes in the operating system and prevent the anti-virus from deleting. The Anti-Virus can delete them by different methods including the method of concurrent monitoring of 2 processes one after another
4. The increased database of startup objects
The new mechanism which is used to get system information about all startup objects aims to fight hidden processes, rootkits precisely
5. A rescue CD creation
This function allows to create image of the bootable disc and to restore the system efficiency after the virus outbreak and preventing the system from loading. The technology is means of creating image of the bootable drive using Microsoft Windows PE or Bart PE Builder as well as the Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 setup disc.
6. The improved algorithm to scan frequently used files and archives in the suspended mode
This algorithm is used to solve conflicts that arise when either frequently used files or archives are scanned in the suspended mode and also allows to avoid conflicts with the applied software (file managers, 1C, etc)
7. The anti-virus databases and the license key can be saved when uninstalling the application
The function allows to save the anti-virus databases and the license key when uninstalling the product and to add the saved key by further installation. 8. 4 modes to end the scanning process After the scan is over the pc can be switched into one of the following modes:
* Restart
* Standby
* Hibernate
* Shut down
