K7 UltimateSecurity Editor's Review

Over last few years, activities of cyber criminals, hackers and malicious lot have increased manifold. Even a few years back, you could rely on a paid antivirus tool to protect your PC from malware and other worms. However, this is not so simple anymore. A lot of home users as well as network users are opting for fully fledged internet security software that comes with additional layers of protection. There are several such tools but if you are looking for a low cost solution opt for K7 Ultimate Security. The app comes with a host of malware intrusion technology including 2 way firewall and advanced heuristic detection features.

One advantage of K7 Ultimate Security over other rival security suites is that it consumes low system resources. You will require a Windows XP equipped PC with 512 MB memory to run it. Of course, subsequent Windows versions are supported. It also consumes less hard disk space. Like similar security suites, it will prompt you to remove existing security apps to evade conflicts during installation. You can run a pre installation scan as well. Those who purchase the app online also get bootable rescue disc.

The app interface has not altered much from earlier versions. The security zones in app window are color marked to indicate status, a boon for new users. At the heart of any security suite, lies an anti-virus engine and K7 Ultimate Security is no exception. While independent lab testing gives higher marks to established rivals like Symantec and Mcafee, this app scores really well in real life malware detection. In rootkit detection and removal it scores among the middle of the competition. It scans rather quickly and leaves some rivals trailing behind in sheer speed.

The app has an endpoint protection system which regulates removable device access. You can decide how removable media devices and optical media should be handled. When it comes to dealing with USB devices, the app offers you plenty of options and disinfects infected USB drives upon connection. There is a USB vaccination feature as well.

The firewall protection in K7 Ultimate Security is a mixed bag of sorts. It does offer enough customization features which advanced users and network administrators will appreciate. Its approach to blocking online threats and port attacks is rather old school and users who prefer non-intrusive app will be irate. The app lags behind rivals when it comes to intrusion detection. It detects a part of intrusion attempts but cannot name them like rivals. However, the 2 way firewall is robust enough to resist direct malware attacks.

K7 Ultimate Security does come with spam filter, a feature useful for users who use multiple mail accounts and deal with hundreds of emails every day. While you can set plenty of parameters to identify spam mail and set exclusions, the real world result is not that good. In default settings, the app fares worse than many of its rivals. It does a mediocre job of blocking spam mails overall. In anti-phishing test, it trails behind rivals like Norton Internet Security too.

K7 Ultimate Security also offers some bundled goodies that are not exactly related with system protection, rather focused on usability. One such instance is its data backup feature. It lets you take backup of data on external drives, media or remote devices easily. The lack of any online or cloud file synchronization may irk advanced users.

Like many of its rivals, K7 Ultimate Security bundles in some technologies that offer enhanced browsing safety. These include safe Surf and Safe Search, similar to what AVG offers. There is a parental control section as well. The bonus tools like virtual keyboard and Temp file cleaner are decent but do not offer added benefits over other third party utilities. Overall, the utilities appear useful but do not offer detailed information or tweaking provisions.

K7 Ultimate Security uses Carnivore technology which helps eliminate new threats that are yet to be identified. This is what other apps name as heuristics technology. The app does not slow down system much but when you check processing in task manger, it shows a total of 7 processing running.  

Positive Points:
 - Excellent malware detection and device protection.
 - Low system requirement.
 - Easy to use interface.

Negative Points:
 - Abysmal rootkit and spam performance.
 - Firewall needs to be improved.
 - Bonus tools are quite basic.

Conclusion:
It is quite clear that K7 Ultimate Security is not suited for users who want an all-rounder security suite that offers maximum protection from all threats, online and offline. Its core antivirus engine offers impressive performance, on par with expensive rivals. When you examine other components of the suite, the deficits become evident. The firewall works well but has loopholes that can be exploited. Bundled utility tools are decent but they offer basic features. Overall, it may suit home users with single PC but network users may look elsewhere.

Rating: 3/5
