- Best one so far!
This is one of the best anti-virus programs I've used to date. I've even replaced the free AVG on my desktop PC with this! One of the best (and fastest) features of this version, is that unlike other AV programs, it doesn't waste time scanning files that haven't changed since the last scan.
My first scan took just under an hour, and the second took about 5 minutes. That's pretty useful when you don't want the computer kept busy scanning for ages. Also, if you don't have Windows set to automatically download and install updates, Kaspersky will bring up a pop-up list of programs that need updating on any full scan... another useful feature.
On the first scan it found something called a backdoor Trojan. With AVG I had to decide what to do with the infected file, heal, delete or quarantine - but Kaspersky made the decision for me, which was most welcome, as I'm never sure what action to take a with a virus.
I changed the settings to schedule a full scan once a week, as the default settings were set to `scan on demand'. I knocked one star off because I had some installation problems that shut my computer down with no warning. I finally managed to install it on the third attempt.
As far as the firewall is concerned, I left all the default settings as they came. I don't get constantly prompted to take action (unlike Norton), as Kasperksy employs some kind of intelligent thinking that makes the decisions for me (in much the same way it decides what to do with viruses.)
All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to be bothered with deciding what to do with viruses, or how to configure firewalls, as Kaspersky pretty does everything on its own, and so far, it's working just fine :)
Rating: - Good security product with a lightweight 'footprint'
Kapersky seem to be one of the good guys in the Anti-virus world, their product seems to have avoided the bloat that has accompanied Symantec and even McAfee products.
The product installs easily and updates fairly quickly, it also seems to use less system resource than comparable packages even the free ones.
The only niggles are that it's fussy about previous security products and if they haven't cleanly uninstalled it refuses to install. You can use Revo unistaller to get around this, or manually trawl the registry, which isn't much fun. The other niggle is that it is fussy about you installing new program which can be annoying.
Other than that an excellent product, well worth a look if you're worried about viruses/ malware on your PC (which you should be).

- Excellent Anti Virus at a great price - and it works!
I can recommend this software 100% for anyone looking to upgrade from a basic Anti Virus to one which does a bit more and cathces not just viruses but Malware etc. It's easy to install and use, takes just an hour or so to learn about in the useful HELP section on the disc and is easy to update and schedule. Well worth the money and the hour or so getting used to the software, set up etc.
Rating: - As ever - the best.
As a Vine reviewer and a Kaspersky user I was delighted to see this product appear for review and ordered it immediately. Quite simply, after many years of surfing, after many internet security products, I will always stick with Kaspersky. Although being a bit over zealous to protect you this product is extremely effective and does the job with the minimum of intereference; that's about it really - if you're looking for the latest protection everytime you switch on your pc then this is the product.
Rating: - Good Package from a company that's in the know
Excellent Integrated Internet Security suite recommended for people who know about setting up security and want total control over their internet security package.
Clean interface and updates regularly as new threats are identified (sometimes every few hours)
Kaspersky and the guys behind the company have been around from the mid 80's working in developing solutions to the emerging computer virus market.
To people in the know these guys know what they are doing and this software shows it.
Antivirus, Firewall, Anti-spam, Anti-spyware... etc it has in effect more capability than most users will ever need.
Useful for internet users who take occasional walks on the dark side.
Conclusion - bullet proof internet security, slick interface with user customisation for people who want to get under the bonnet.
Plus you can install it on 3 pc's without having to pay gor more licenses (generous)
Highly recommended.
