Kaspersky Internet Security 2016

The System Watcher component includes the following technologies:

• Automatic Exploit Prevention technology, which prevents and blocks actions of exploits.
• The Application Privilege Control feature performs an action specified in the component settings when detects suspicious behaviour of an application.
• Protection against screen lockers detects and removes a banner from the screen when you press a set combination on the keyboard.
• Rollback of malware actions In Kaspersky Internet Security 2016, the information about suspicious actions in the system is collected not only for the current session, but also for previous sessions. This allows to roll back all actions performed by the application if it is subsequently recognized as malicious.
• Protection against cryptoviruses. Cryptoviruses are a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom. When a cryptovirus attempts to encrypt a file, Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 automatically creates a backup copy of the file before it is affected. If the file gets encrypted, the product restores it from a backup copy.
  Please note:
  • Backup copies are stored in the system Temp folder (temporary files storage). The backup copy is not created if there is not enough space on the system disk, so please keep at least 10-15% of the disk C space empty.
    
  • Backup copies are removed when Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 is closed or System Watcher is disabled (backup copies are not removed if the application is stopped unexpectedly). If necessary, you can remove backup copies manually by deleting the contents of the Temp folder.
