America's Fastest Growing Internet Security Software* Introduces Its New 2010 Lineup

WOBURN, MA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Kaspersky
Lab, a leading developer of Internet threat management solutions that
protect against all forms of malware, including viruses, spyware, hackers
and spam, today announced the availability of Kaspersky Internet Security
2010 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 in the U.S. and Canada. The 2010 lineup
brings a new class of automated, high-performance protection to consumers
and small business owners, keeping users protected without slowing them
down.

Recent data shows a drastic change in the way cyber threats have shifted,
now more than ever targeting applications that we've come to trust.

-- 2.7 billion vulnerable applications installed on U.S. PCs alone. **

-- Attacks via social networks (i.e. Facebook and Twitter) are 10 times
more likely to succeed versus attacks sent via email. ***

Kaspersky Lab's 2010 product line is designed to deliver an unparalleled
new class of protection against these now dominant forms of vulnerabilities
and attacks. These products have been designed to address three critical
aspects -- maximum Protection, superior Performance, in a new hassle-free
Polite environment -- to enhance today's Web experience.

Proactive and Immediate Threat Protection:

NEW! Urgent Detection System

Managed by the Company's global team of expert virus analysts, Kaspersky's
Urgent Detection System protects our millions of users worldwide against
the latest threats in a way no other software does. As one of Kaspersky's
users encounters a never-before-seen malware threat while surfing the Web
or downloading files, that threat is instantly sent to our Lab, which in
turn immediately adds characteristics of the malicious attack to a central
database of new, breaking threats, all in under one minute. Kaspersky
Internet Security 2010 checks that database every time a user launches an
application or visits the Web, ensuring real-time protection that blocks
these threats before they can ever spread.

ENHANCED! Elevated Protection from Dangerous and Outdated Applications

The 2010 product line from Kaspersky Lab comes with new layers of proactive
and streamlined technology to secure and manage the applications you use on
the Web and on your PC.

-- Vulnerability Assessment: Identifies the programs running on a PC that
lack the most recent security updates, and guides users to the specific
patches for these application vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

-- Kaspersky Whitelisting and Application Control: Kaspersky Internet
Security 2010 automatically checks our Lab's in-the-cloud database of the
most up-to-the-minute "known good" and "known bad" applications. This
allows good applications to run freely, while immediately stopping
malicious programs from running at all. Kaspersky also applies a unique
rating system to questionable applications that limits their access to
sensitive areas of the PC (i.e. system registry, personal data files).

-- Powerful Expanded Heuristics: Kaspersky's 2010 products include the
Company's recently-awarded patented technology for advanced
behavior monitoring, using artificial intelligence to block malicious
programs. In the example mentioned above, questionable applications are
closely monitored for any potentially threatening actions, and Kaspersky's
heuristics will immediately block the activity.

Unmatched Overall Performance

ENHANCED! Kaspersky 2010's Faster Core Anti-Virus Engine

Consistently known year after year for the speed and performance of its
products, Kaspersky Lab redoubled its efforts and once again sets a new
standard for superior protection without slowing down a user's computer.
Kaspersky Lab's 2010 anti-virus engine technology now performs scans and
other core tasks 40 percent faster than our previous 2009 products.

Independent Tester Cascadia Labs Endorses New Speed Improvements

Further evidence of Kaspersky Lab's superior performance is shown in a
recent study conducted by Cascadia Labs, a leading independent testing
organization. Cascadia Labs compared the performance of Kaspersky Internet
Security 2010 to other leading consumer products now available, and
determined that the product achieved the top overall ranking for
performance and operation. The product also posted the top score for
on-access and on-demand scanning, with low at-rest memory usage and minimal
impact on system boot time. These results provide additional proof that
along with delivering premium Internet security, the Kaspersky Lab 2010
line-up is also the fastest protection around. Cascadia Labs' complete test
report can be viewed here: Consumer Endpoint Security Suites.

It's Always Nice to Be Polite

Along with an improved and intuitive graphical interface, Kaspersky
Internet Security 2010 takes a significant step forward in delivering a
hassle-free computing experience to keep customers safe with fewer
intrusions and with more customizable features.

NEW! Kaspersky Safe Run

For the first time in any Internet security suite, Kaspersky Internet
Security 2010 users can now run any application in a completely protected
virtual environment that is walled-off from the computer's applications and
machine settings. Using our first-of-a-kind Kaspersky Safe Run, users can
browse, open or run any email attachment, or unknown program with
confidence that no harm will be done to their computer.

NEW! Gamer Mode

With the push of a button, automatically block pop-ups and reduce
Kaspersky's 2010 products use of PC resources to the bare minimum. The game
won't be interrupted or slowed, and Kaspersky Lab will still block any
hacker or malware that tries to sneak onto the system.

ENHANCED! Virtual Keyboard

The on-screen virtual keyboard protects against identity theft by allowing
users to type using untraceable mouse-clicks. This Virtual Keyboard is now
embedded as a Web browser tool bar, making it easier to use when entering
credit card numbers, login passwords, or other valuable data.

NEW! Auto-Run Disable

Prevent peripherals like portable USB drives from automatically executing
when they are plugged in to the machine, prompting users to scan the drive
for any hidden threats.

In addition to the technology on your PC, Kaspersky Lab offers Free Tech
Support based in the USA. Live representatives based in our Americas'
headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, are available to assist our
customers Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 9 PM ET, and never at an
