Strengths: Doesn't slow down the machine!

Weaknesses: User interface.

Summary: I have been using this for a month and I am happy with it. It doesn't slow down the machine when it works. My only concern is the user interface. I feel it is not as friendly as Symantec products. Maybe it is because I am used to Symantec products. Overall I would recommend this product.

Strengths: Works on several operaing systems including *nix OS, documentation better than expected, good features.

Weaknesses: some files and apps to take 30-120 seconds to open

Summary: So far, it seems to work okay---at least I have not had any known viruses or malware on my laptop while using the software. It is customizable enough for me. It came with a fair sized manual in today's standards. One issue with it is that after installation, if the software can not contact a server to activate it or whatever it needs to do, you will not have complete functionality. In my case, I made a long distance non-toll free call to support to see why I couldn't activate the product. I was told basically that their server(s) were overloaded. If I buy a product, I expect it to be fully functional right out of the box. What really spurred me on to try Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 was a longstanding problem with Norton Anti-Virus 2006. For some reason, it keeps loosing my subscription info on one computer and therefore it thinks I need to keep renewing my subscription before it expires. Following Symantec's Support people's suggestions has not helped---including uninstalling it and reinstalling it, etc.

Strengths: It was easy to install and works wonderfully. Detected viruses that Norton and McAfee didn't detect.

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I got Kaspersky after i had Norton for two years, and i would like to say that it is such a relief. Finally no malicious software is controlling my machine. Well, first, Kaspersky is faster and more comfortable in use. Second, as i said, it doesn't intervene in any of computers processes. Third, it has hourly database updates. And four, it provides a better protection than norton, i had norton for two years and the first day that i got my kaspersky after norton, it located 11 Trojans and a virus, which Norton has never located and showed that system is fine. Well, make your own conclusion. Also my girl friend got norton for laptop and it didn't allow her to connect to internet network so she had to uninstall it. Its just a waste of money. Buy Kaspersky it will make you feel safe.
