PC Security - Hardware Based Antivirus System Patents are Awarded to Kaspersky:

Kaspersky is known to be one of the most well known and the best PC security system that can protect computers from a dozen of different types of malwares, spywares, Trojan horses, Viruses etc in the best possible manner, and is designed to encounter viruses from both internet as well as other external sources.

Kaspersky is known to be one of the best Antivirus software that is preferred by both locals as well as industry personals.

Kaspersky is the product of Russian labs and it has just been awarded with an all new U.S. patent for Hardware based Anti Virus system, and surely a whole lot of antivirus companies were contesting for this patent, but the extra ordinary services of Kaspersky proved itself to be the most worthwhile candidate for this patent.

Mainly the idea of this patent was to move towards an antivirus mechanism that even goes deeper than root kit, hence allowing it to be the best and the most desirable antivirus system that anyone can think of.

What “hardware based anti-virus system” literally means?

Hardware based anti-virus system means that an antivirus program that is implemented on hardware module of a system in order to resolve the issue of viruses of every kind and updating the database of antivirus automatically at the same time and in the best possible manner.

One can be implemented in the following two ways:

• Can be implemented as a separate device.
• Can be integrated into disk controller.

Update method of hardware based database:

When it comes to hardware implemented antivirus, the update method follows two simple steps.

• Updates are transferred to the update sector of the system.
• Then they go under a verification process, and after this verification is done the update of database is implemented.

One of the best thing about this is that the entire hardware based Antivirus system has its own CPU and memory, which literally means that you don’t need to worry about the speed of your PC or the load on your computer’s RAM, as your hardware based antivirus system will be dealt by its own CPU and memory, hence not halting or troubling your other tasks or applications in any way.

Network Access:

By reading what your hardware based antivirus system can do for you, you might have thought about the network access, as if you are offered with a built in CPU and memory than why not a network access?

Without Network access, it would surely make your database completely idol, as if an antivirus is not able to update itself than its surely going to be completely worthless for you. Therefore this system ha s a software component which mainly deals with the network access section, so that you can update your database any time you want and without any trouble.

So the bottom line is, Kaspersky has won the patents for Hardware based antivirus system, and if you are willing to go with such hardware based antivirus than Russian Kaspersky is surely the one that you are looking for, as it will be able to provide you with legitimate hardware based antivirus you are looking for.
