I recently purchased IS9 having done some pretty comprehensive research and running of different makes of trial software on a spare laptop. I was originally using Zone alarm but when they updated the software to new version it was a disaster with crashes/slowdowns/poor booting etc and the forum was full of unhappy bunnies. I watched and waited and although the next release was better it was still not good. I started researching.
After many trials I settled on Kaspersky Internet Security 9.0. I had used a previous version so had a degree of familiarity. I bought the three user version and the installation and set up on my XP (SP3) machine was totally smooth and has been running well ever since. However the installation on Vista (32bit ... Read More:

This has to be the best in the world for online safety.
Gamers are known for turning off their firewalls with this one there is no need for that at all.
With its ease of installation and none of that messing about with it to get it how you want for your machine, its a doddle to install. Just install & forget about it.
I now know why this is voted the best everywhere, it found a virus on my computer that my old (but well known)virus software hadnt picked up, problem solved.
It is so easy to use. Good value for money and the one Amazon is selling is for a 3 pc license....Awesome

Just install & forget about it. I waited for my activation mail to change it from a trial version to registered version and it came immediately. Had to laugh Bit defender sent it to the Spam folder...
I installed on my spare computer and my nieces computer, hers hadn't had any Internet Security for about a year, it found one Trojan and removed it no questions asked, marvelous, but couldn't delete 2 cookies that it saw as malicious?????? Hence the reason I gave it 4 stars.
On my spare one it found a few things ... Read More:

I have had mixed experiences with Zone Alarm in the past so I was keen to see what they have to offer in this latest version.
Firstly, and this was not a good start, it refused to run on my test machine, an Asus A6U notebook running Vista SP1. It installed quickly, apparantly without incident, and following the requested restart all seemed well. However, I found clicking on the Zone Alarm tray icon produced no result neither did clicking on the application icon itself. A second attempt following a reboot was no luckier and so I was forced to uninstall the application and try again on a second machine.
On my second machine, a desktop again running Vista SP1 things fared better but the startup time of my machine was increased significantly.
