computer running a Windows operating system. It protects the computer against
unauthorized access to its data and external hacker attacks from the Internet or
an adjacent local network.
Kaspersky Anti-Hacker performs the following functions:
• Monitors the TCP/IP network activity of all applications running on your
machine. If it detects any suspicious actions, the program notifies you and
if required, blocks the suspect application from accessing the network.
This allows you to preserve confidential data on your machine. For exam-
ple, if a Trojan tries to transmit any data from your computer, Kaspersky
Anti-Hacker will block this malware from accessing the Internet.

• The SmartStealth™ technique makes it difficult to detect your computer
from outside. As a result, hackers will lose the target and all their attempts
to access your computer will be doomed to fail. Besides, this allows for
prevention of the DoS (Denial of Service) attack of all types. At the same
time you will not feel any negative influence of this mode while working on
the Web: the program provides conventional transparency and accessibil-
ity of the data.
