INTERNET SECURITY 7.0 UK 3 USER KIS 7.0 UK 3 USER 1 YEAR DVD IN

Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 provides a comprehensive defence system against all of today’s Internet threats, offering system resource friendly protection from all types of malicious programs, phishing, hacker attacks and spam. Now featuring parental and privacy controls, as well as improved keylogger detection and blocking, this suite achieves its award-winning threat detection levels through a combination of three innovative technologies:

1) Automated hourly database updates for quick and easy protection against all know threats

2) To ensure you only ever run clean programs, unknown programs are run in an isolated, secured environment and are checked for malicious behaviours

3) For optimal protection from unknown threats, a proactive defence system continuously monitors the behaviour of your system and programs in real-time and blocks any malicious processes, warns you about dangerous activities and rapidly rolls back any malicious changes that may have occurred.

Summary: Still good
Comment: I've been using Kaspersky for about three years now (we have 6 computers in our house) and although the newer versions can cause reduced performance, an experiment using Windows Live One Care clearly demonstrated that while the latter does not impair performance, it doesn't protect from infected emails even when suspect attachments are stored locally and scanned manually. When these attachments were forwarded to a machine with Kaspersky, the virus was IMMEDIATELY and promptly detected and dealt with. I'll stick to the one that works, but I wish they'd address the performance issues.

Summary: Not for the faint-hearted ...
Comment: ... of whom I am one. Before purchasing Kaspersky, I noted one reviewer helpful stated that it was good 'for those who know what they are doing', and counted myself in. Kaspersky has routinely shown me I am an outsider.

It loaded and registered easily and I sat back to admire. It immediately became hyperactive, bleeping and moaning about my most trusted sites, accusing them all of being under attack from 'Invader riskware'. Heck, it scared the something out of me! I started to panic and peace of mind - which these packages are supposed to bring you - was a thing of the past. What was frustrating was that it was frequently asking questions about what to allow through but never giving advice.

I decided I should not give up without trying the help desk. The number of hoops to jump through was formidable and I lost the will to live half-way through, so I shall never know how good the support people are. My loss.

This may well be an excellent package but you have to know what you're doing and there is not much help on offer. I gave it a month and bought Bit Defender which seems an ocean tranquillity by comparison. It worries - without bleeping - about things coming in but then tells me they are clean and why don't I allow them access? O bliss! Internet security for the common man. Happy days are here again!

Summary: excellent
Comment: I have been using Kaspersky anti-viral software now for over two years having in the past used different anti-viral products. I have found Kaspersky software very good and have had no problems with the software. Installation is easy just by clicking and following the onscreen prompts like recommended installation and the job is done. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.

Summary: Kaspersky is nice.
Comment: I was very hesitant at first to buy this particular software. But I haven't got any regrets after I bought this. As many others mentioned this software does not eat a lot of CPU power. The protection offered by this software is as good as its competitors, if not better. I initially wanted to try it for the complete trial period but after 7 days of trying this software. I felt that I should buy it and did so immediately. I was surprised to see some infection in my computer which Norton did not pick-up and to my horror they were root-kits. Fortunately I do not use my online bank account on my home computer. I am much more than satisfied with this purchase and although I bought KIS-7 I was able to upgrade to the latest KIS-2009 free of charge with the same key which came with KIS-7. Fantastic isn't it? If the reader has not done the upgrade, please do so, it has a virtual keyboard as well. This protects you against key loggers. But anyways no key-logger can be installed while KIS-7/2009 is there. Also I loved the parental control feature in KIS-2009.

Summary: Far too complicated
Comment: I bought this piece of software based on the reviews of others as a replacement for my current Internet Security software. I have managed to install it on all of my 3 machines. Two of my machines have already been upgraded to version 9.

From the point of view of a home user, this piece of software is far too complexed for what I want from it. I now have applications and programmes that fail to run properly and even with my own knowledge of PCs, I am in no position to do anything about it. The software is far from user friendly. I have had the piece of software for about a fortnight and already I have ordered a replacement. As soon as it arrives, I will be uninstalling Kaspersky from all of my computers.

All I can do is put it down to experience. Use it at your peril. You may be lucky as clearly some of the reviews on here state. From my personal experience there are far easier pieces of software that do the same job. When you have problems with those, 9 times out of 10, you can rectify those problems yourself.
