Rating: 10

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: hourly automated update, powerful antivirus tool

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I've been hearing good reviews about Kaspersky antivirus products and I finally got this one and decided to give it a try. The installation was easy and it removed the previous antivirus program automated. The virus database is updated for 2-3 times everyday and all is automated as long as the internet connection is on. So far, there is no virus reported and I'm pretty happy with it.

Rating: 10

Time with product: 1 Month

Strengths: Highly regarded and acclaimed software. Constant automatic updates.

Weaknesses: None.

Summary: I switched over to Kaspersky (from Norton) based on recommendations from some tech friends. I was surprised at being able to purchase this at a significant discount after a mail-in rebate and was reassured that this was indeed a top-notch product. After a somewhat lengthy installation and initial virus scan, I soon forgot that it was silently protecting me in the background. There was no noticeable slowdown of my machine and the software automatically updates itself daily. I'm pleased with my switch and highly recommend it to others.

Time with product: 90 Days

Strengths: Frequent Updates(Hourly & Daily & Seemless), Very Fast scanning compared with any other AV softwares. Best price with promotions. No Compatibility Issues.

Weaknesses: Haven't seen any issues so far.

Summary: I had this Anti Virus Installed on my desktop for around 90 days and i haven't had any issues. I tried using other Antivirus before getting this, and i see significant time difference in entire system scan. It took 1/3 of the time to complete my system scan compared other AntiVirus softwares. It doesn't have any compatibility issue with my Firewall. Excellent AntiVirus for my VistaBusiness 64Bit.

Time with product: 1 Years

Strengths: Easy installation. Daily automatic updates. Unobtrusive. Finds stuff the others don't

Weaknesses: You often need to fight for your rebates.

Summary: I'll leave the testing to the pros. There are a multitudes of reviews that consistently rank Kaspersky as the cream of the crop. Kaspersky came out of nowhere a couple years ago to take the AV crown away from Norton. For me, Kaspersky is an easy-to-use program with lots of customizable options for an advanced user. It found stuff in archives Norton missed. It's set it and forget it, as it should be. My only caveat is that they make poor choices on rebate fulfillment companies, while Norton is as easy as pie. I've had to fight for a couple of their rebates; otherwise, I'd be awarding 5 stars.
