 Love this Software!Aug 30, 2006
By Sandy
"Sombra del Monte"
I run XP and have tried a wide variety of antivirus software. I still like my separate components rather than a security suite. I left Norton because of numerous javascripting errors. I tried Bit Defender 9--not a bad program. Just not as quick and complete as KAV 6. My computer runs better than ever with KAV installed (I also run a third party firewall). Since installing KAV, my firewall hasn't alerted me to a single intrusion attempt. Seems like good news--and I certainly hope it is! I feel pretty safe running KAV. I like what independent reviewers/testing sites have to say about it. And things don't continually complain or mess up. The only "problem" I've come up against is that when running all the proactive defenses, including the registry guard, it came up with a message tagging IE 7, Beta 3, as a possible danger. And, given IE's track record--it might be. ;) I got very friendly and patient help from the Kaspersky Support Forum hyperlinked from the software itself. Other than that, it's really been "install and forget." Things are running great...in fact, my antispyware seems to be having to clean up less, too. I definitely recommend this software.

The One To GetJan 30, 2007
By J. White
I downloaded a trial version of this from the companys website. I couldn't be more pleased after "experiencing" the awful Norton Antivirus 2007 which slowed my computer to a crawl. Kaspersky was able to detect spyware and adware on my machine that Norton 2007 had totally missed. It also found a peice of obnoxious malware missed by Norton. And the best part of it is that Kaspersky allows you to extensively customize the settings you need for your particular computer. I found that "low" setting worked great in my situation and no performance hit is noticeable.
Just be sure to uninstall Any other anti-virus program before installing this.

Kaspersky vs. nortonMay 28, 2007
By Jeffrey I. Weinstein
"j48w"
after five years of struggling with norton slowing down my computer, i needed a change.
with my annual norton subscription expiring, i spent about an hour looking at reviews of other products. while i had never heard of Kaspersky, after reading the reviews and specs, i decided i had nothing to lose.
what an improvement!
if your system response is slow because of norton, i would recommend switching to Kaspersky, you will really see the difference.

Kaspersky can "get 'er done!"May 05, 2007
By Frankland S. Strickland
Let me begin by saying that although I use my computer daily, I am by no means a "techie" or computer geek. I don't know all of the technical jargon that goes along with being an expert. That's okay though, I use my washing machine everyday but couldn't repair it if the timer went out. With that being said, Kaspersky's advertising line says it all: "Installs easily with a clear interface and automated functions making it the right choice for even the most inexperienced computer users." Well, that's me---the "inexperienced user" part, that is.
In a nutshell, this product works!!!! There are umpteen-gazillion competitors out there (and of course I've not tried them all) that claim to do all sorts of magical things, but Kaspersky actually does what it says it will do. I have several "freeware" programs on my computer---most notably Ad-aware and Spybot--- that "find" all sorts of pesky things and claim to delete them, but these critters keep coming back. I even tried that new "Live One" (or whatever it's called) from Windows, but it totally failed to find and purge that horrific trojan that seems to be infecting practically everyone's computer recently---Winsoft.
Have you too been infected with Winsoft? You know, the constant pop-ups "warning" you that your computer is infected with spyware and doing it under the pretense of being a legitimate Windows message? Well, nothing under the sun could get rid of it until Kaspersky. Now, I can go online without the constant barrage of pop-ups from Winsoft or System Doctor or a host of other nasty varmits.
I noticed where one user experienced a total crash of his PC when trying to install Kaspersky. At first, I thought mine did the same thing too. What it turned out to be was my worthless Windows Live One trying to "protect" my computer from Kaspersky. I don't know enough of the "technicals" to explain this, but when installing Kaspersky it does prompt you to uninstall "incompatible" programs. In my case, the seldom used Trend PCillin program had to be removed before running Kaspersky. Ultimately, I uninstalled the Windows Live One program too and all has been well since!
You may or may not like the audible "ping" sound that occurs whenever Kaspersky detects a problem, but the little "pig squeal" it gives when it deletes a potential threat will have you giggling and squealing with delight!
Hands down, this Russian-made protection software is the best I've ever used. I like to imagine that I have an entire brigade of Don Cossacks hacking and slashing away at all of the nasty trojans trying to invade my PC.
