Kaspersky Total Security Key Features
- File Anti-Virus
- File Anti-Virus prevents infection of the computer's file system. The component starts upon startup of the operating system, continuously remains in the computer's RAM, and scans all files that are opened, saved, or launched on your computer and all connected drives. Kaspersky Total Security intercepts each attempt to access a file and scans the file for known viruses and other malware. Further access to the file is allowed only if the file is not infected or is successfully disinfected by the application. If a file cannot be disinfected for any reason, it is deleted. A copy of the file is moved to Quarantine when that happens. If an infected file is placed in the same location where the deleted file with the same name used to be, Quarantine saves only a copy of the last file. A copy of the previous file with the same name is not saved
- Mail Anti-Virus
- Mail Anti-Virus scans incoming and outgoing email messages on your computer. An email message is available to the recipient only if it does not contain dangerous objects.

- Web Anti-Virus intercepts and blocks the execution of scripts on websites if they pose a threat. Web Anti-Virus also monitors all web traffic and blocks access to dangerous websites.

A set of rules is specified for each group of applications. These rules manage the applications' access to various operating system resources.

You can configure Anti-Spam to handle spam messages in a particular way (for example, delete them automatically or move them to a special folder).

Kaspersky Total Security Key Benefits
- Computer Protection
- Protection components are designed to protect the computer against various types of information security threats, network attacks, fraud, and spam. Every type of threat is handled by an individual protection component (see the description of components in this section). Components can be enabled or disabled independently of one another, and their settings can be configured.
In addition to the real-time protection provided by the security components, we recommend that you regularly scan your computer for viruses and other malware. This is necessary in order to prevent any possible spreading of malicious programs that have not been discovered by protection components, for example, because a low security level was set or for other reasons.
To keep Kaspersky Total Security up to date, you need to update the databases and application modules used by the application.
Some specific tasks that should be run occasionally (such as removal of traces of a user's activities in the operating system) are performed by using advanced tools and wizards. - Trusted Applications mode
- Trusted Applications mode protects the computer from applications that may be unsafe. When Trusted Applications mode is enabled, Kaspersky Total Security allows running only applications that are identified as trusted (for example, based on information about an application from Kaspersky Security Network, or a trusted digital signature).
- Parental Control
- Parental Control is designed to protect children and teenagers from threats related to computer and Internet use. Parental Control allows you to set flexible restrictions on access to web resources and applications for different users depending on their age. In addition, Parental Control allows viewing statistical reports on the activities of controlled users.
- Online Management
- If Kaspersky Total Security is installed on a computer and you have an account on My Kaspersky portal, you can manage protection of this computer remotely.
- Backup and Restore
- Backup and Restore functionality is designed to protect your data against loss as a result of hardware failures. Kaspersky Total Security can perform scheduled data backups to removable drives, network and online storages. You can copy files by category and specify the number of versions of the same file to store.
- Data Encryption
- Data Encryption is designed to protect your confidential data against unauthorized access. You can unlock a data vault and view its contents only after entering a password.
