This helps us to remain one step ahead of the competition and provide our users with the most reliable protection from new types of attack.
Due to its high level of professionalism and dedication, Kaspersky Lab has become one of the market leaders in the development of antivirus protection.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 also includes an advanced ‘sandbox’ technology which uses virtualization to provide a secure isolated execution environment for applications that was first introduced in Kaspersky Internet Security 2010.
