Rating: 8

Time with product: 2 Months

Strengths: has all the needed features I want in an internet security package.

Weaknesses: conflicting manufacturer rebate addresses

Summary: I changed to this brand from another major Internet Security brand and am happy with the change. This edition uses less computing resources and has less "bloat" than my previous brand. The firewall that this software uses is intuitive and works well. Parental controls are also a plus. I would purchase this again. the rebate company has changed and there was conflicting information (two different addresses) as to what company to send the rebate to.

Strengths: all in one package, good for multi-computer family

Weaknesses: as any security software, it slows down my computer

Summary: Compare to Norton, Mcafee, and Kaspersky Antivirus, this package not only includes all the functions I need and avoid the trouble to buy differect software for antivirus, firewall, anti-spam, identity control, etc, but is easy to install and use. I need to update the database every day and sometimes need temporarily stop it to have some websites work. Other than that, I am satisfied.

Strengths: easy to use, frequently update, free update

Weaknesses: none

Summary: I chose Kaspersky, have loved it ever since, and recently upgraded (free) to version 7.0 - an even better product. It runs fast, easy to install, easy to use. Most important, it did not slow down my computer obviously. I am very happy to find a new Antivirus product replace Norton which always slow down my computer.

Time with product: 1 Day

Strengths: Ease of use, frequent updates

Weaknesses: None known

Summary: Installed the trial version of Kaspersky Anti Virus and was happy to find that compared to Norton, it did not appear to load down my computer. Computer startup is much quicker with Kaspersky and Norton uninstalled. Frequent virus updates occur in the background. Haven't yet tried configuring the rest of the firewall stuff in the Internet Security version but if it's as easy to use as the virus program, I will be very happy.

Time with product: 2 Months

Strengths: Excellent virus protection, frequent update

Weaknesses: None

Summary: I bought it for my wife's laptop. It was free after two rebates. Amazingly, it works perfect although it slightly slows the laptop. One problem is that some hyperlinks in websites are not linked to the corrent webpages instead of the blank ones. We have to turn off the Kaspersky to get the correct webpages. It is inconvenient.
