Personal protects home computers running Windows
98/ME, 2000/NT/XP from all types of known viruses, including Riskware. The
program constantly checks all possible sources of virus penetration, such as e-
mail, Internet, floppy disks, CDs, etc. Unknown viruses are efficiently detected
and processed by a unique heuristic data analysis system. The two distinct
modes of the program's operation (that can be used either separately or jointly)
are:
• Real-Time Protection – anti-virus scan of all files being run,
opened or saved on the protected computer.
• On-Demand Scan – scanning and disinfection of the entire
computer or individual disks, files or folders. You can launch
such scan manually using graphical interface or set up a regular
scheduled scan.

Personal does not scan objects already analyzed during
pervious scans that have not been modified since then. This rule applies now not
only to the real-time protection but also to the on-demand scan. This feature
greatly improves the speed and performance of the program.

Personal provides reliable protection against viruses that
attempt to penetrate computers via e-mail messages. The program provides
automatic scanning and disinfection of all incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP)
e-mail messages and efficiently detects viruses in e-mail databases.
Kaspersky

Anti-Virus Personal supports over 700 formats of archived and
compressed files and ensures automatic anti-virus scanning of their content and
removal of malicious code from files within ZIP, CAB, RAR and AFJ archives.
The program's settings can easily be adjusted due to the capability to select one
of the three pre-defined levels: Maximum Protection, Recommended
Protection and Maximum Speed.
The anti-virus database is updated every three hours. Database delivery is
guaranteed even if during the download process the internet connection was
interrupted or switched.
