Monday 27 August 2012 09:37 CET | News

Kaspersky Lab, a vendor of endpoint protection solutions, has rolled out an online purchase protection tool, dubbed Safe Money, a technology aimed at protecting the user’s money when shopping and banking online.

Kaspersky Internet Security’s Safe Money will be able to:
• Activate when visiting most common payment services, banking websites;
• Isolate your payment operations in a web browser to ensure your transactions aren’t monitored;
• Verify the authenticity of the banking or payment website itself, to ensure the website isnt compromised by malware, or a fake website designed to look authentic;
• Evaluate the security status of your computer and warn about any existing threats that should be addressed prior to making payments;
• Provide an onscreen Virtual Keyboard when entering your credit card or payment information so you can enter your information with mouse-clicks. This will activate a program to prevent malware from logging any keystrokes on your physical keyboard.

The company currently operates in almost 200 countries and territories across the globe, providing security services for more than 300 million users worldwide.
