  Overall Rating: 1 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:1 Months

  Strengths: Very good protection, quick scanning, low use of system resources.

  Weaknesses: Expensive, $59.95 (download or CD)in 2008. Does not work with Zone Alarm

  Overall Evaluation: I downloaded the trial version. When I started the install, a window said I had to uninstall my copy of Zone Alarm Internet Suite. I decided to try it on my WindowsXP pc anyway. I found the suite to be somewhat of a resource hog and not be very user friendly. When I built my Vista machine, I decided to try just the antivirus product. During the install it I got the same request to uninstall my copy of Zone Alarm Internet Suite. What's up with that? Instead of working with ZA, they would rather have you purchase their firewall product or suite. Did anybody else have other problems with software compatibility? I don't like being forced to use certain software and I have never had this problem with any other software product I've used. How come no one at PC World noticed this problem?

  Duration of ownership:1 Years

  Strengths: It is like a test lab that america and the russian federation have created to eliminate infection givers.

  Weaknesses: The new 7.0 version is a complex version of the 6.0. The only thing that sucks is training the program. If someone actually takes the time it is the most effective.

  Overall Evaluation: I think that later america might have a bigger terrorist threat on its hands. The makers of kaspersky are people that have computer science degrees. I am glad that America has this technology. I have a PC that I am trying to set up. I want it to be my second brain. If computer hackers keep violating peoples Local drives, then how can we ever take the stress of the human mind. Thanks Kaspersky! P.S.- If you don't like Kaspersky Lab, then try CA....I can easily say that any program that has automatic theft insurance, is cool with me

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Hourly updates, small footprint, high detection rate

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: Kaspersky is an excellent choice in security software. Unlike Norton or McAfee, Kaspersky's software maintains an effective scanner and hourly updates but doesn't suck up resources like its going out of style. The price is right, too.

  Strengths: kill viruses effectively

  Weaknesses: no weakness

  Overall Evaluation: This is the best anti-virus software so far. It is much better than Norton, McAfee, or Computer Associates. It can remove all viruses and it does not slow down your computer as all other sofwares do.

  Duration of ownership:9 Days

  Strengths: Do not change your system that much as Norton. Do you slow your system that much like Norton

  Weaknesses: A bit too expensive in term of the price before rebates. Rebates are not reliable.

  Overall Evaluation: As a long time Norton user, I switched from Norton. I found Symantec is getting arrogant. The new version of Norton is getting fatter and unfriendly. They also decided not to support W2K at all. Anyway, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 will not slow your system down so much. It will not invade your system and change everything that much. It can even support Win 98 -- unbelievable! Be careful of its rebates. People are getting rejected by allbates.com.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Ease of installation, Price

  Weaknesses: None so far!

  Overall Evaluation: I have used other anti-virus software programs in recent years such as Norton Anti-Virus, Norton Internet Security, and McAfee. I was diligent with doing the updates for the virus protection software. Unfortunately, those programs did not protect my computer like the protection I am getting from this Kaspersky product. Initially I was reluctant to purchase the Kaspersky product because I had never heard of it. Online reviews at computer magazine websites assured me that it is a good product. The program installed easily with levels pre-established with virtually no "tweaking" required on my part. Kaspersky also does the updates automatically like the two other programs, but it does seem easier to use that the ones listed above. I would definitely buy this program again. In the end, it was less expensive than the major other brands who always seemed to be emailing me for more $$$.

  Duration of ownership:7 Days

  Strengths: excellent ability, consume less resources

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: I have a corporate version of Norton Antivirus installed on my PC, since our university provide it to students for free. So disappointed with Norton, I decided to take advantage of the Kaspersky FAR sale on Amazon, only after several days use I can feel how efficient it can detect and kill viruses and spywares. Norton simply cannot filter those things. Kaspersky also takes less computer resources in usage. Once using Kaspersky, I know I will not look back.

  Duration of ownership:5 Days

  Strengths: Comprehensive and proactive protection; little impact on system preformance

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: I've tried many other anti-virus/internet security software and so far Kaspersky is the best.Many security software suffer from heavy use of system resource and cause the computer noticeably slower in performace, such as Norton, McAfee, and PC-cillin. ZoneAlarm used to be pretty good at this, but it's also getting toward this way and has a few glitches since v7.0. From my observation, Kaspersky uses very minimal system resource while provides well-rounded protection. My theory is: if a security software makes your computer much slower than before, why is it any better than a malware?Kaspersky performs very well in tests from various labs, so I can have peace of mind when I'm surfing on the net or doing some on-line transactions. It also has very frequent updates to make sure that I'm well protected most of the time.The only minor disadvantage is that this software could be a bit pricier than other security software without promotional offers. The good news is that it does run rebate promotions once in a while and you can get great protection at an affordable price (sometimes free!) if you catch the promotion.

  Strengths: scan faster than McAfee, update fast, free upgrade to 7.0

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: I only used McAfee (campus edition) before. Now I feel Kaspersky scans faster than McAfee, it also updates very frequently. Kaspersky provides free upgrade from 6.0 to 7.0 and free tech support. I recommend Kaspersky also because many websites use Kaspersky to do antivirus job.
