Kaspersky AntiHacker Personal Firewall Preventing Unauthorized Computer Access

Kaspersky Anti-Hacker is a personal firewall, providing full-scale protection for personal computers running Windows operating systems. It prevents unauthorized access to data, as well as hacker attacks launched from both intranets and the Internet.

Kaspersky Anti-Hacker controls computer activity via a dual-level system of network activity analysis:

·	Tracking Internet application activity (high-level operations). Integrated analysis of all activity involving programs such as Internet applications like Web-browsers, mail applications, file transfer applications, etc.

·	Packet filtration of incoming and outgoing data (low-level operations). At this level Kaspersky® Anti-Hacker directly analyzes sent and received packets.

·	Setting Filtration Rules

·	According to a user's individual task requirements, Kaspersky® Anti-Hacker allows the creation or alteration of any set of rules to be applied to tracking application activity and/or to packet filtration.

Establishing special security rules for Internet applications is accomplished by setting Internet access to be permitted or denied for each particular application depending on its type - mail client, Internet messenger, web-browser, etc., or to allow specific types of activity for each individual application (i.e. to define the specific remote access services and addresses with which an application can interact).

When setting packet filtration rules, it is possible to allow or to deny the transferring of data based on specific types. When analyzing packets of various types, the software makes a decision regarding what action to take based on an analysis of the information stored in each packet's header. Each packet header yields information such as: sender and recipient's IP-address, the data transfer protocol and more. Packet filtration rules can be applied to all applications and provides effective protection against hacker attacks.

Customized Security Levels : Depending on the type of tasks you intend to perform, Kaspersky® Anti-Hacker allows you to choose from five security levels, beginning with the complete shutdown of all filters, to a total block of all Internet connections. For each level users can specify security and packet filtration rules.

Efficient Protection Against Known Types of Hacker Attacks : Kaspersky Anti-Hacker partly operates automatically - Attack Detector provides a reliable defense against known types of hacker attacks such as port scanning, ping, etc. .

Automatic Self-learning System : Kaspersky Anti-Hacker has the ability to expand its list of security measures for Internet applications via its "self-learning" function. If an event occurs that is not described in the predefined rules users may then include it and any specific settings for how to handle it. In this way you can create a security profile that ideally meets your requirements.
