Still, while Kaspersky PURE 3.0 Total Security takes a while to set up and figure out, there’s still a vast amount of functionality here, and it’s still one of the most comprehensive security suites around.

Here’s a genuine example of a warning in the Help file: “Safe Run for Websites cannot be run if the Enable Self-Defense check box is cleared in the Advanced Settings section, the Self-Defense subsection of the application settings window”. While Safe Money doesn’t run in the Metro version of IE10, or even the desktop version if IE’s “Enhanced Protected Mode” is turned on.Īnd there are so many modules here that they can occasionally clash in unexpected ways. Password Manager doesn’t work on 64-bit Windows, for instance. You’ll need to pay close attention to the small print, too, as there are some important issues to consider. And there are all kinds of configuration issues to confront in your first hour or two with the program.

There’s a new exploit protection layer, easier installation, an enhanced interface, more accurate phishing detection, smaller updates, and more.Īnd of course you still get all the previous features, like a strong antivirus engine, lots of browsing protection tools, capable parental controls, a spam filter, vulnerability scanner, encryption tool, ad-blocker, data shredder and more.Īll this functionality has a down side, of course. Password Manager now maintains its database online, making it easier to synchronise credentials across all your Kaspersky PURE 3.0 installations. Make sure your security programs are updated on the latest threats. If you have a security software suite like Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you’ll have an active shield to guard against infections. Malicious keyloggers generally make their way to devices in software form.

The backup tool can now store your data online it’s only to a Dropbox account, but that’s still a worthwhile improvement. Install internet security software on all your devices. Safe Money detects when you browse to banks, payment providers and other sensitive sites, and offers to access them in a secure and isolated browser.Ī “secure keyboard input” layer combined with easier access to the virtual keyboard helps to keep you safe from keyloggers.
