 If you don't work for Kaspersky, don't buy this! November 30, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm sure this product is fine IF it actually works! Upon inserting the CD, I received an error message saying that some EXE file was missing. That was just the start of the problems! I tried multiple times to get on-line help from their live chat and never made it past #5 in the queue. Even when I got in the queue at the start of business, I never got anyone to come on-line with me by the end of business! Several emails sent to their "help desk" for different problems resulted in identical responses, which didn't fix them. The technical support option on their phone support only directed me back to their on-line live chat and then went to a busy signal. Perhaps the product itself is good if the software isn't faulty, however the customer service and technical support IS ABSOLUTELY ABOMINABLE!!!
 Kaspersky has never let me down. November 28, 2008
I used to use Norton until it became so bloated and slow. I'm very happy with Kaspersky. It does everything I want it to, and nothing I don't. It updates itself every few hours. It's stopped everything bad that I've needed it to. It doesn't slow my systems down to a crawl, and it has worked 100% perfectly on my systems. I couldn't ask for anything else. I run it on a Vista and an XP system. No problems on either.
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.br /br /Best solution on the market. Go for it.
