Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows

 Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows

Strong malware protection from a well-respected provider

Maximum devices covered: 5 | Stand out features: Highly configurable virus scans, self-protection defence, System Watcher module

Kaspersky is another veteran of the security world, and while the company didn’t make all that many changes to the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, it didn’t particularly need to.

You get a very impressive level of antivirus protection here, with Kaspersky being highly rated by the independent testing labs, and there’s a good amount of flexibility when it comes to configuring virus scans, too. Furthermore, its System Watcher module allows Kaspersky to pick up on undiscovered threats like fresh ransomware.

All the main pillars of Kaspersky Anti-Virus are rock-solid in terms of keeping your PC safe, then, although the program’s extra features aren’t as good as you’ll find with some rivals. There are some passably useful bits and bobs like a vulnerability scanner and privacy cleaner, but some of the wizards provided are a bit feeble (like the Browser Configuration Wizard which only supports Internet Explorer – not many people use IE anymore).

In short, don’t expect much over and above the anti-malware protection that Kaspersky delivers – but that core protection is unwaveringly solid.
