Along with a powerful engine, the suite offers a firewall that's easily configurable, a spam filter, an ad blocker, a Game profile for gamers, a Parental Control function, and a virtual keyboard to securely type personal information (useful in online transactions or to escape hidden keyloggers).
KIS also offers Safe Money, an addition that lets you make online transactions safely and in a protected place. The Tools sections of Kaspersky Internet Security also includes a set of tools for system security:
