\"\"Kaspersky Lab has announced the public availability of Technical Previews for\u00a0Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kaspersky Internet Security 2014<\/a>.\u00a0These are very early releases and some way from being complete, so there\u2019s little information on new features yet \u2013 but a few basic details have appeared.<\/p>\n

The interface has been updated, for instance. It\u2019s not radically different, just simplified, and even more Windows 8-like than it was before.\u00a0The new releases now support touch screens, too, and our initial impressions are that the program could work well in a touch environment.\u00a0Kaspersky\u2019s Safe Money (a feature which helps to secure your online transactions) now supports more banks and web stores, and allows you to choose your preferred browser.<\/p>\n

The company claims the new release will use less resources. And apparently it will also provide \u201cconnected standby technology support\u201d, although what level of support, and where, isn\u2019t yet clear.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t look like a release which is going to win over many new customers, then, but if you\u2019re a Kaspersky fan and want to try it anyway, the process is at least fairly straightforward. There\u2019s no special beta registration, and you don\u2019t have to sign up to anything: just download the installer and you\u2019re ready to go. (Although we would recommend removing any existing Kaspersky installation, first, and running a backup if the system contains anything important.)<\/p>\n

And to find out what might happen then, we\u2019ve briefly installed and tried out both programs, with mixed results.<\/p>\n

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2014<\/a>\u00a0displayed error messages saying our system wasn\u2019t activated, for instance, while the interface said we were, while\u00a0Kaspersky Internet Security 2014<\/a>\u00a0noticeably cut our test PC\u2019s performance. But scanning and other features worked well, if a little slower. So on balance, not bad for an early beta, and if you\u2019re interested in Kaspersky products then you should find there\u2019s plenty here to explore.<\/p>\n
