 Safety and efficiency, 2008-06-29
I had a trial of this and loved it. Couldn't afford to buy it when the trial was up. Went with free PC-cillin licensed by work, It slowed down my PC by a factor of 3. Went with a free one (Avast), after six months of good results a trojan got through. Decided I couldn't afford not to have Kaspersky. Cleaned up my PC, and keeps me safe. And my PC is as fast as ever.
 So, so slow!!, 2008-06-28
I've had Norton IS and ZoneAlarm IS, and I thought they slowed things down, but their pokiness was nothing compared to Kaspersky! I thought it would speed up after it acclimated to my system, but after more than a month it's still slow. The other products slowed down my computer at boot up or when they were actually scanning. KIS slows down everything, even printing - PRINTING!?! And it slows them down not just the first time you run them after installing KIS, but every time you run them. When I get on the Internet now, I click the IE icon and then go do something else for a few minutes so it has time to come up. To speed things up, I right-click the tray icon and click "Pause Protection." Of course, this totally defeats the purpose of the software, but it works. (And given how slow KIS does everything else it's amazing to see how quickly Pause Protection works. While waiting for a program to come up, click on Pause Protection and almost instantly the program opens, a definite indication of what was slowing it down.) Oh, and all the old tried n' true fixes (clear your cache, defrag, etc.) weren't necessary with NIS and ZA, so they shouldn't be necessary with KIS. Since Norton only provides support begrudgingly (and believe me, prodigious amounts of support are needed with their products), I'm going back to ZoneAlarm. I never needed support, it worked well, and I barely noticed it was there - the way Internet security software should be. I only switched because a friend with whom I shared a 3-user license thought ZA slowed his computer down and he wanted to try something else, but he's not happy with KIS either so we'll both be switching back. All of these products are well-rated for their primary purpose - virus and intrusion protection - so it comes down to the user experience and that's where KIS is most lacking, IMHO.

 Kaspersky offers a cheap Avti-virus version 8 download, 2008-06-26
I found a Kaspersky link on this Amazon page for a Kaspersky "Anti-virus 2009" package for $17.95; it's under "Customers Viewing This Page May Be Interested in These Sponsored Links." below the product description of this product. The customer service wasn't great but it's a $17.95 purchase. After a fair amount of difficulty, not all Kaspersky's fault, I have sucessfully installed their software.
My experience-your's will likely differ: Because IE7 stopped working on my laptop shortly after buying it a year ago with Vista Home edition, I have been using Firefox, recently updated to #3. I easily downloaded the Kaspersky software but couldn't get it to install-the installation wizard wouldn't open. I tested my downloader with a couple free programs from CNET: a spyware that wouldn't install but another non-spyware did install easily. I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded their (KB890830) Malicious Software detector and removal tool and did a full scan which found no malware of any kind.
Kaspersky offers a free virus scan at their website, but only with IE. Suspecting that my use of Firefox could be the reason Kaspersky wouldn't install I checked IE7 this morning and it wasn't working. After the Microsoft MSD&RT scan, I notced a new IE7 shortcut icon on my taskbar. I clicked on it and IE7 magically started working. I tried to install the Kaspersky and it installed easily. I am no geek. I surmise that this Kaspersky will only install with IE as the browser. I'm just happy to have this done with my laptop running OK and now I can just use the darn thing as the tool it is.
I'm giving it three stars because I do not know how well it will actually perform
excellent, 2008-06-25
