Kaspersky Internet Security is a software package from Kaspersky that bundles together all the tools needed to keep you safe whilst browsing the internet. While standard antivirus scanning tools are included in this software, the main focus is still on safety and security features specifically designed for your browser.
Parental controls and privacy
It has been designed from the ground up to keep potential threats and privacy breaches away, and it does a great job at just that. It even includes a parental control feature that allows you to set up full control over what your children can or can't access whilst browsing the internet.Secure browsing and payments
When you install it, an extension for your browser will also install automatically, where applicable. By default, Kaspersky Internet Security provides a number of safety benefits. For example, it can open more important pages, such as when you pay online, in a separate and more secure protected browser tab.Anti-tracking and threat protection
The software can also stop websites and services from tracking your data. This kind of data would usually be used to showcase targeted ads to you, but with Kaspersky's help, it will not be shared with advertisers. A range of built-in threat protection tools is available too. For example, if you navigate to a potentially dangerous website, Kaspersky will block the connection and notify you. You'll then have the choice to continue or to back away from the website.Secure connection and VPN limits
You can use the secure connection mode to add even more privacy to your browsing. This feature connects you to a VPN and encrypts your data, ensuring your web traffic remains private. By default, the basic VPN tier gives you access to 200MB of data per day (or up to 300MB if connected to a My Kaspersky account), so it's best used for standard web browsing rather than viewing media content like videos. You can upgrade to a higher tier, such as their modern Plus or Premium plans, for unlimited VPN data.A lightweight footprint
Despite all these great tools, the interface is very simple to navigate. Thankfully, the performance footprint it leaves behind is also very small.
