Automatic Updates

Web Filtering Updating

You don’t need to do any updating of threat lists. ReassureMe.com’s Netintelligence service works 24/7 to identify and classify web sites. Our Web Filtering service is Hosted, what this means is that every individual computer or laptop does not need to download a cumbersome “Blacklist” of known web sites. Our list and classification of global web sites is an ongoing 24/7 process which your computer benefits from every time an internet connection is detected.

Every time your computer accesses a new web page (or a pop-up appears in a web page), within milliseconds, our database of world wide web sites confirms how the site in question is classified and in the event that it contravenes the Child Protection settings that the Parent has selected, the page will not be displayed.

As there are quite literally thousands of new web sites created every day, and pornography and criminal interests constantly move their web site IP Address, a hosted web filtering solution is the optimum way to stay current.

Anti Virus and Security

Because new viruses, Trojans, and malicious software emerge daily, it is important to regularly update the application to keep your information constantly protected. This task is managed by the Updater component, which can be set to AUTOMATIC.

Updating the application involves the following components being downloaded and installed on your computer:

• Threat Signatures,
• network attack signatures,
• and network drivers

Information on your computer is protected using a database containing threat signatures and network attack profiles. The software components that provide protection use the database of threat signatures to search for and disinfect harmful objects on your computer. The signatures are added to every hour, with records of new threats and methods to combat them. Therefore, it is recommended that they are updated on a regular basis. When installed, the default setting for the Update Component is AUTOMATIC. In this mode, the user does not have to perform any action to ensure the system is up to date. In addition to the threat signatures and the network attack database, network drivers that enable protection components to intercept network traffic are updated. In Kaspersky Internet Security you don’t need to worry about selecting the appropriate threat signature set. Now our products use anti-threat signatures that protect you from both malicious and potentially dangerous objects, and from hacker attacks.

During updating, the application compares the threat signatures and application modules on your computer with the versions available on the update server. If your computer has the latest version of the signatures and application modules, you will see a notification window confirming that your computer is up-do-date. If the signatures and modules on your computer differ from those on the update server, only the missing part of the updates will be downloaded. The Updater does not download threat signatures and modules that you already have, which significantly increases download speed and saves Internet traffic.

When monitoring Computers which a Parent may not have access to, the Parental Control Panel will notify you of the Security Software Status of each PC / Laptop to ensure that you are aware of any potential problems.
