Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 8.0.0.454 Final version has just been released. It is a tool that is presented by the team of developers as an unmatched security solution for home and home office. The Kaspersky product offers protection from viruses, Trojans and worms, scans the Internet traffic, the email and instant messaging account, and is compatible with all browsers and email clients.

One of the new features the Internet security tool brings is the intelligent management of unknown applications. These don't have access to users' resources and are automatically displayed with a security rating, which enables users to choose if they want to keep using them or not. At the same time, it does not allow users to click on malware links, as it disables them automatically. Users that have a wireless connection or use a Virtual Private Network are protected from all types of known malware.

To prevent data and identity thefts, the team from Kaspersky created a virtual keyboard, which provides users with the possibility of writing their account information and passwords safely. For the same reason, cookies, temporary files, Internet history, and other data that can be used by Internet hijackers are erased.

Data encrypted by the Secure Socket Layer and the Hypertext Transfer Secure protocols are better protected from theft. Users who have already been attacked by malware can still install the security tool on their systems. After having the virus, spyware or other malicious software removed from their computer, users are assured that their data are being preserved. In fact, to clear any lingering doubts, Kaspersky Internet Security offers assistance for the creation of a "rescue disk," as the company calls it, which can store the content that the user wants to back up.

These features are doubled by parental control option and the blockage of spam and webpage banners.

The product was tested in the Softpedia labs and is malware-free. You can download a 30-day trial version of the Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 8.0.0.454 Final here.
