Miscellaneous Security Features
KIS7 has loads more of little gems that are not apparent at first, and which need to be enabled.
Privacy Control is one such option; it includes anti-phishing, an anti-dialler, and protection of confidential data such as passwords, auto-complete, forms, etc.
The anti-dialler doesn't let any malicious diallers phone home, and if there's an auto-dialler you've set, you can enter it here under "Trusted Numbers." It's great to know the security suite takes care of phishing. But how does a machine determine social engineering tricks? Well, by blacklisting known IPs. But no, you cannot edit or see the list; the rest of the anti-phishing is pretty much up to you. (Hint: beware of ALL CAPS and poor grammar and dollar figures in the millions.)
A rootskit scanner has been included, too, as I said before. This isn't different from a normal scan, but does warrant a separate setting. This ideally ought to have been under the same heading as "File Anti-virus," but it isn't.
