The moment you launch it, you can see that the latest security suite from Kaspersky Labs is very different from last year's edition. The main screen is more attractive, more streamlined, and much better organized. Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 ($79.95 for 3 licenses) also includes significant internal changes, among them a totally revamped antivirus engine and a new application filter feature that protects your computer by controlling access rights for applications. Still, some of the secondary abilities of the suite, such as spam fighting and parental controls didn't wow me. The result is a suite that is definitely improved, but that still leaves room for further improvement.The main window divides the product's protection into four categories: Anti-Malware, System Security, Online Security and Content Filtering. That's a lot easier to swallow than the eight categories in the previous version. A large status bar at the top displays overall program status. Green means you're fully protected. If anything's not right, the bar turns yellow or red (depending on the severity of the problem) and flashes briefly for attention. Clicking the bar brings up a list of tasks you need to perform to get yourself back into the green, much like clicking the "Fix Now" button in Norton Internet Security 2008.
KIS2009 does its best to avoid annoying the user with incomprehensible popup queries. After all, security software ought to be more qualified than most users to make decisions about security problems! In its default configuration, virtually all of Kaspersky's protective services take action automatically, with no action required from the user. A small alert window reports what action was taken, but it evaporates after a short while. Symantec, Panda, and a few others take a similar approach—I definitely approve.
