The latest version features several new functions including Cloud Protection with an overhauled new user interface. The new Cloud Protection Technology uses the data from Kaspersky Security Network to enhance security of your PC. The main application window now displays all necessary information on your computer’s security status, the active defense components, the up-to-date of the anti-virus databases, and the license period.
