Kaspersky Labs has been one of the best antivirus software developers in the world for over a decade and now Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 only strengthens that reputation. Founded by Natalia and Eugene Kaspersky in 1997, this Russian company is often the first to find and identify new viruses. Long used in Russia and Europe, Kaspersky is now making inroads in the North American market. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 is one of the most effective antivirus packages in the world today and boasts a great interface with easy to use and intuitive controls.
ReplyDeleteLike so many of the other antivirus packages including BitDefender, Kaspersky Anti-Virus comes with an antispyware component and therein lies the weakness in this otherwise excellent software. Kaspersky's software is among the best products in the world, but at $39.95 for a one-user for one-year license, it’s on the high-end of the software we reviewed. There are no complaints about Kaspersky's effectiveness or ease-of-use. As a result, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is the “TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award” winner. If you're looking for antivirus protection for small business, you might be interested in Kapersky Anti-Virus for File Server.
"The best Ever....100% protection"
ReplyDeleteGood protection if you don’t need to use your PC
ReplyDeleteslow scan speed, but so light you can work while its scanning
ReplyDeleteThis is the best Anti-Virus available nowadays. It can catch almost everything, and what is missed is quickly caught by Heuristics, HIPS or Proactive Protection.
ReplyDeleteKaspersky is a very good antivirus product but you need to know what you are doing because it is NOT user friendly. There are constantly making changes so you need to uninstall the old version and install the new one whenever your renewal is up. (It's not automatic).
ReplyDeleteTo avoid this, I upped for 3 years-and ended up short by 4 months. Instead of expiring in Sept of 2011, it expires in May. It took three days to get a reply to my email. It contained all kinds of files to uninstall my old and install the newest version (which I already did which is how I learned I was short by 4 months). 2 and a half hours on the phone. Unfortunately, it closed before someone could actually answer the phone so that time was wasted. And now I sit here waiting for someone to come "live chat" with me. Their 12 mins approx time is going on 1 hour and 9 minutes.
If I had to do it all over, I'd check out something that has a half way decent Customer Service.
Program runs very quiet and detects viruses, malware, cookies, and more. Every few days I do a full scan and program detects over 1000 problems that it corrects.
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best anti-virus,anti-spyware,anti-fishing and firewall product I have ever used and I have used the best known, such as Norton and McAfee. Virus scan is extremely fast and efficient. It has a great firewall that keeps unwanted intrusion off your computer.
ReplyDeleteI recommend this product over anything on the market, hands-down!
The Kaspersky is a very good antivirus. I bought it because a friend recommended it as the best antivirus at present. I have only had it about a week, but I can say this much: It can be hard to install. For example, I had previously had the Panda and the AVG. I had uninstalled the Panda but the AVG was so hard to uninstall I had to have it done. Then the Kaspersky is a bit old-fashioned; you have to do a lot of rebooting. Luckily I had read other reviews and did NOT uninstall the Ad-Aware, because it erases all the spyware the Kaspersky does not eliminate.
ReplyDeletei have been a loyal customer of kaspersky internet security for over a year and now iam using mcafee beause of kaspersky's footprint in version7 and it slows down mu system.ah well.good job kaspersky.good job
ReplyDeleteI have a very long time the Kaspersky Antivirus for Windows XP, and was highly satisfied. So it was no question that I have my Vista PC with the latest version equipped. The few negative reviews I was not nervous, I'm optimistic assumption that such problems require a itself will not take. Kaspersky therefore ordered and installed - on my calculator, a few months now completely run smoothly. That should change! Complete six crashes within the first 24 hours of operation, one of them even with blue screen. That must be one with Windows Vista once created. The crashes were so hard that only off and helped turn the PC (very bad for me, a complete novelty under Vista). I then again frustrated the Kaspersky uninstalled and so on quite miraculous manner the system stability can wiederhergestellen.
ReplyDeleteConclusion: For users with Windows Vista (SP1) is such a bad virus. It integrates itself deeper into the system than it is good. At least, the uninstaller clean. The incompatibility with third-party firewall, I can also confirm. Antivirus refuses to install if it include a firewall from home can attest. Microsoft would be such a number is certainly competitive with legal complaints have been exaggerated. I'm just disappointed.
I've been forever freeware antivirus software on the computer had. Now times have I dared to switch because I recently started a (albeit rather harmless but still) had little virus problem. Kaspersky Antivirus, I had a few good test results in journals over the years every now and then and so was seen as no more big decision to take, what to "buy goods" I would install.
ReplyDeleteKaspersky antivirus was installed quickly and needed no great to be configured to my computing environment to run well.
The Komplettscan that I after installing a precaution did, ran through quite quickly compared to my previous program. This system is now daily scans are no longer quite so annoying and my system is backed up by even better than before because of a long scan only weekly check.
I could now finally overcome to move Kaspersky;) after my previous antivirus program partially true nerve has cost (slower boat operation and Co). Just in time for the new version almost.
ReplyDeleteI had read that the program not only works when a virus already on the computer drives his outrages, but in advance take many precautions, which possibly existing gaps in the system find and remove. This is just one of many arguments I made in tests on Kaspersky've read (parental controls, improved spam protection plug-ins for MS Outlook, Thunderbird, blocking of adware when opening web pages and more.). The user interface and operation is very user friendly, so that all options will be fairly and expeditiously as possible configuration can make adjustments easily.
Since I do not really have much time for hours me any professional articles on the topic in computer magazines through, I was cooling off after a tight Kasperskyâ basis for the recommendation of my brother decided. The installation was done quickly and the program changes come as naturally to my computer without great what I do. I will have!
ReplyDeleteIt would be helpful to at least report on the amount of resources it requires to run, like how much RAM is being used in 'active protection' mode, and how much CPU and RAM is being used during a scan. That would allow a better comparison with other products out there.
ReplyDeleteI switched our company over this year to Kaspersky due to some good reviews and high catch rates per some AV tests run end of last year and early this year and I couldn't be happier. I no longer have to monitor the users near as much and warn them from clicking on things. People will click, and now I can breathe easier. Fantastic Product!
ReplyDeleteI’m currently using Kaspersky and believe me it offers rock-solid defense.
ReplyDeleteIt also runs smoothly even during virus-scans,using just about 30-40 MB RAM.
Don’t know, I just use AVG and malwarebytes and spybot, never have any problems with them
ReplyDeletewell, i have been used avira anti virus free edition, mm, it protects my computer against virus but certainly not spyware! about the kapersky, my family uses it and it is so powerful so that it affects the internet connection in order to prevent virus..but many of my friends said that kapersky is a powerful anti virus software, i have noticed it too when my family opened the computer but i prefer the free edition and avira is certainly the best, at least for now!
ReplyDeleteI used Norton 360 and it always tied up my computer resources. When it was scanning the computer would slow to a crawl and it really did not work well with other software or hardware (including my HP printer). I tried a free trial version of the Kaspersky and found it worked better for me. With Norton, you really did not have to say whether or not much was safe or not, it decided for you. With Kaspersky, if you want it to really work well, you have to spend time letting it learn what you think it should allow. That may not be for everyone. I like this software well enough to renew it.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great antivirus software for the price, it is easy to install and really easy to use. I did not like the fact that when the internet security is turned on, it slows the connection down because it scans every bit being sent by the websites. When I turned it off, I was flying through pages.
ReplyDeleteKaspersky can be loaded on a PC that is already infected. It will find 99% of all malicious software (no anti-virus finds 100%) including the most aggressive such as rootkit and boot sector virii.
ReplyDeleteI purchased the 3-user license at a discount and have been satisfied with the product. Kaspersky did have a problem in one of their intermediate version releases, but eventually that was resolved.
Tried Norton, then Nod32 and now Kaspersky. Really like the way it works. Not invasive and not that slow as someone says.
ReplyDeleteWell, Kaspersky has now officially gone to CRAP. This build is unstable. My computer locked up a few times and as soon as I would start Firefox my system reboots.
ReplyDeleteBack to Kaspersky for me after NOD32 let Virtumonde run wild on one of my machines. Eset really disappointed, not even adding the new virtumonde samples I sent them for another three weeks.
ReplyDeleteI've always admired the Kaspersky line of products.
ReplyDeleteTheir reputation with customer service is stellar.
Their owner is a good man, who truly wants to help users stay safe online.
I'm currently using Kaspersky's trial Anti-Virus. There is a yellow bar which says "Your computer security is at risk" and gives me the option to "Fix it now". Clicking that button opens another page which informs me that I need a license. Tab 2 tells me that some common .exe's, ie., java, firefox, realplay, opera, excel, are highly/very dangerous. Is this trial antivirus doing nothing to protect me? What will the license do to these applications?
ReplyDeleteKaspersky is one of the best (if not THE best) brands. Naturally, it will do something (a lot) to protect you - then again, most average users may not realistically need such protection. All up to you.
ReplyDeleteI don't recommend any of the freeware antivirus programs.
I`m someone who’s always online, for my work as well as in my free time and I think it’s important to have a good virusscanner.
ReplyDeleteOn a suggestion of a (IT)friend I tried Kaspersky and it’s amazing. It scans all my email, files and protects me during my late night internet sessions and I don’t even notice it!
I’ve been using Kaspersky AV for years now and never ever got one virus or whatsoever on my computer. This is simply the best Virusscanner around!
ReplyDeleteHas the potential to be as good or better than the 7.0.1.325 version AFTER they fix this bug which prevents you from booting up in normal mode in Vista 64-bit OS without a crash and is difficult to remove.
ReplyDeleteAfter installing and running the first update the system crashed and dumped memory. No chance of rebooting in normal mode after that without a crash. To remove it I had to boot in safe mode then use msconfig to prevent it from starting in normal mode where it can finally be removed. I then reinstalled Kaspersky 7.0?. Too bad the 2009 version is NOT ready for 64-bit use.
While it may be pricey, that cost is for a license that covers multiple computers, so it can actually be a very good value. It’s a great tool for the novice or advanced user.
ReplyDeleteit saved my pc from 37 malwares which rose within 5 minutes i clicked that exe file which turned out to be a backdor trojan.
ReplyDeletethis is even better than v7 and this is a whap for malwares out there!
I'll never know if Kaspersky was the best software against viruses or not, it never once completed a scan. A couple of time left my computer running for three days and it never even got half way through before I realized it probably never would finish. The tech support was terrible. I bought McAfee and it completes a scan in less than 2 and a half hours. Maybe its not the best, but at least it was capable of completing the cycle.
ReplyDeleteI recently was having a problem with my computer and downloaded the home trial of Kaspersky's anti virus. Well, it worked great and I am now virus free and didn't cost a cent. I am really impressed because most of the free downloads will scan for a virus but not get rid of it until you buy the package. This was really totally free and worked 100% percent. I will buy the complete version after seeing this in action.
ReplyDeletePersonally I feel that out of all of the anti-virus programs Kaspersky has the most value for it's money. I have used all of the major anti-virus programs , i.e. Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, Panda, etc., and Kaspersky is the one that I have stuck with. The one major aspect of Kaspersky that I love is how it doesn't take over my system. With other programs my system ran very slow, they took up a lot of RAM with the several different executable files it would run along with the main program.Kaspersky didn't do that to me...
ReplyDeleteI have used this software for the past three years, when compared to two other products that were delivered one with my Dell laptop and the other with my custom desktop Kaspersky has outperformed both products. This is a great product, easy to purchase, easy to install and, in my opinion, provides superior protection to most similar products. Support when necessary has been excellent. The purchase price is well worth the protection, I think the product has been underated.
ReplyDeleteI have used Kaspersky Anti-Virus for the past 4 years with great success.
ReplyDeleteI was leary of buying the 2009 version reading the 4 previous customer comments. But, I did.
I uninstalled the old version 7.0 and rebooted the PC. I then downloaded and ran the AVG removal utility, and rebooted. Then turned off the Firewall.
I then installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009. No problems. Installation, updating, and configuration took only 20 minutes.
It was cheaper buying the software thru amazon.com than renewing the 2007 version thru Kaspersky, which would had to be uninstalled anyway, and install the 2009 download. Plus this gives you a C D should you have to reinstall it at a future date.

A little over a month ago, as careful as I usually am, I misclicked somewhere and a trojan keylogger was able to find it's way into my computer. I had just downloaded the newest Norton internet security and after the keylogger had begun it's damage I ran several scans, but Norton couldn't find it. My options were: reformat, pay Norton $100.00 to scan my system remotely from their tech. support, or try another anti-virus. I picked up Kaspersky and followed the install directions (had a bit of a hangup with uninstalling AVG, just need to check with the troubleshooting feature Kaspersky provides). Kaspersky found the trojan in 4 minutes and deleted all versions of it from my computer. I have not had any trouble, and my computer loads faster since installing Kaspersky.

I have only had it about a week, but I can say this much: It can be hard to install. For example, I had previously had the Panda and the AVG.

Watch out when you get a message asking if you want to delete something. Because of this "feature" I deleted a Windows system file. This program is not as user friendly as it could be.
