SMTP for outgoing mail) on any mail program. We also offer plug-ins and treatment for viruses in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express mail
databases.
* Scanning of Internet traffic. All HTTP Internet traffic is scanned for viruses in real-time, ensuring that infected objects are not saved to the computer?
s hard disk. Statistics about harmful scripts can be accessed using a plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
* File system protection. Individual files, catalogues and disks can be designated for antivirus scanning. Users can limit antivirus scanning to critical
areas of the operating system and startup objects to ensure that attention is focused on the most vulnerable areas of the system.
* Proactive protection. Kaspersky Internet Security monitors program activity and all processes launched in RAM. It notifies users of dangerous, suspicious
or hidden processes (that is, rootkits), prevents harmful changes to the file system and restores the system after malicious activity.

Vulnerabilities corrected:
*************************
The following low risk vulnerabilities were patched in MP1 for Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
*KLV07-11 Kaspersky Anti-Virus License Protection Vulnerability
Kaspersky Anti-Virus license protection vulnerability could have been used to compromise machines if the date of the computer was set to that of an earlier date than that of the license period. Malicious software could have used this method to disable the product by simply changing the date a year back.
*KLV07-12 Klif.sys driver - NtCreateSection param error vulnerability
Driver klif.sys incorrectly processed NtCreateSection parameters which causes system failure. This piece of code is now removed from Kaspersky Internet Security
*KLV07-13 Klif - Haxdoors of the Kaspersky Antivirus 6/7
Malicious code executed locally caused a system failure due to unsafe code in klif.sys driver. This code has now been removed.
All three of the vulnerabilities listed above were low risk, which means that users need to manually launch the malicious code before computers
are at risk. In any case, it is recommend that all users download and install MP1 to patch these vulnerabilities.
