kav

Kav is a term that can refer to several different things, depending on the context. It is not a single, universally defined concept, but rather an acronym, a word in a language, and a personal name used in various cultures.

In computing and information security, KAV stands for Kaspersky Anti-Virus, a family of antivirus products developed by Kaspersky Lab. KAV provides protection against malware, spyware, ransomware, and phishing, with features such as real-time scanning, on-demand scans, automatic updates, and cloud-based threat intelligence. It is available for Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms, and has both consumer and enterprise editions. As with other security suites, KAV aims to balance strong protection with system performance, though user experiences can vary depending on hardware, configuration, and software mix.

In Hebrew, kav (קַו) means line, stroke, or direction. The term is used to denote a geometric line or path, as well as more figurative senses such as a trajectory or course. In literature and philosophy, kav appears in phrases describing alignment, measurement, or sequence, and it can be found in both technical and everyday language.

As a name, Kav is used as a given name or nickname in various communities. It can function independently or as a shortened form of longer names, and its usage spans different linguistic and cultural contexts.
