ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Ensuring computer's security is a difficult task that requires the expertise in operating system's features and in ways of
exploiting its weak points. Besides, the volume and diversity of information about system security makes its analysis and
processing difficult.
To facilitate solving specific tasks in providing computer security, a set of wizards and tools was included in the
Kaspersky Anti-Virus package:
Virtual keyboard (see page 117), preventing the interception of data entered at the keyboard.
Rescue Disk Creation Wizard (see page 118), restoring the system's operability after a virus attack, or if the
system files of the operating system are corrupted, and it cannot be rebooted as it was.
Browser Configuration Wizard (see page 120), performing the analysis of the Microsoft Internet Explorer's
settings and evaluating them, primarily, in relation to the security.
System Restore Wizard (see page 121), eliminating traces of a malware object's presence in the system.
Privacy Cleaner Wizard (see page 121), searching for and eliminating traces of user's activities in the system.

VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
When working on your computer, the cases frequently occur when it is required to enter your personal data, or username
and password. For instance, when registering on Internet sites, using online stores etc.
There is a danger that this personal information will be intercepted using hardware keyboard interceptors or keyloggers,
which are programs that register keystrokes.
The Virtual keyboard tool prevents the interception of data entered at the keyboard.
The virtual keyboard cannot protect your personal data if the website, that required entering such data, has been hacked,
since in this case the information will be obtained directly by the intruders.
Many of the applications classified as spyware have the functions of making screenshots which then are transferred to an
intruder for further analysis and for stealing the user's personal data. Virtual keyboard prevents the personal data being
entered, from being intercepted with the use of screenshots.
Virtual keyboard only prevents the interception of privacy data when working with Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla
Firefox browsers.
