Doesn't slow down the computer... November 12, 2008 I highly recommend Kaspersky over McAfee and Norton. I've used all three products and Kaspersky is the only one that has not slowed down my computer and still be effective. However, I did have an issue with the program in August 2008. The product completely stopped working and my PC Tools Spyware Doctor program caught the virus before it spread, but it originate from Kaspersky. THe product works but customer service needs some major work.
Not a system hog November 9, 2008 This software is not a system resource hog. It appears to perform exactly as expected with no discernable intrusions. It simply works in the background. The only time I have ever known it was there is when it found a virus or some other kind of malware. Top marks to Kaspersky! It is simply the best anti-virus software I have ever owned.
Effective protection November 3, 2008 Most effective solution as far as my experience goes. Before switching to Kaspersky last year, I used security software from other so-called big name vendor. Once a virus made into my PC through a torrent download. After searching much on the internet, I came to know that only Kaspersky had solution for that trojan and it was the only solution which could fix the issue. Then on I have been a loyal customer of their products. This year I bought Anti-virus 2009. Happy with the purchase. Simple installation. Quick too. Least intrusive. Even full scan is very fast. Updates happen in the background without affecting what you are doing. The software does not hog resources at all. This is a big distinction from other name band AV products which hog a lot of resources. Over the years, I have been disenchanted with other software vendor whose products have become too bloated while their secret sauce has diluted. Kaspersky seems to focus on the core while keeping other parts simple. Other vendors are more interested in signing you up for yearly updates and once you give your credit card details, that's it, they keep charging you whether you need their useless protection or not. Getting out of their automatic renewal is not very straightforward. You may have to call their support, be on hold for several hours, even after that you may be lucky to get out of their hook. Thus far Kaspersky has been very straight forward with gentle reminders and nothing else. Lack of sales pressure was also a reason to stick with them.
Best solution on the market. Go for it.
A Very Good Product. November 1, 2008 When I saw the ad in the magazine about how Kaspersky Anti-Virus won't slow your computer down, I was ready to try. I have been running Norton's for years, and always have had a very slow boot-up time, and some of my programs were affected as well. Since I have installed this product, I have not noticed any conflict with my programs, especially "Studio 9". I also have cut my boot-up time in half. I highly recommend it!
Great Anti-Virus Program October 31, 2008 Kaspersky offers the very best anti-virus engine. They have a small footprint and an exceptional product. They offer classes for free on their internet site on internet security and program usage. While some may claim that others offer a superior product at a lesser price, no knowledgeable person will dispute their effectiveness. After a scan, they will offer suggestions on other manufacturer program upgrades for maximum security. I have never encountered this feature with other anti-virus programs.
But what I really like most about Kaspersky is that you buy a license and not a program. So long as you have a current license, you are entitled to their lastest and greatest program. They provide a very simple means of upgrading their program at no expense on their web site.
To those that have had a bad experience, I suggest that you e-mail your concerns to Kaspersky. I have gotten a response within 24 hours and the response answered my question.
For me, Kaspersky is a no brainer. I have their products on all of my PC's. I have Comcast and can get McAfee for free, but I have Kaspersky. I have had Norton and will pass. Enough said.
