By far the worst [Posted on 2008-04-26]
I've used Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, Windows Defender, Spybot, AOL Safety, as well as a few others. I regret to say that Kaspersky, in my experience, is the worst.

Maybe it's just me. I'm not an IT professional, but I'm also not stupid. Nevertheless this thing has certainly got the better of me.

I just can't believe how cumbersome and annoying this program is. It's been nearly two months since I bought this and hardly a day goes by when I'm not handicapped by the use of this software. Yes, I paid good money so I'm reluctant to cut my loses and go back to one of the others.

Safe, familiar internet sites are crashed, mid use. "Training" seems to go on forever, but never seems to stick or be learned. Resources are hijacked. Programs, some which I've used for years, now fail to load. Pop ups appear over and over, the same ones, and don't go away. Why?

I guess I could set security levels lower, given the myriad options which are provided, and that would allow me to operate more smoothly. So then, logically speaking, I should shut off Kaspersky entirely, that would allow me smooth sailing, right? But wouldn't that lower my protection? I guess. I have no idea, the program offers scant little guidance. You're really on your own, just guessing at how to set it up.

I'm assuming that Kaspersky offers "security" and "protection"-- that's what it says on the box-- but so would shutting off my computer entirely. That's logical. And it's also ridiculous. So what am I supposed to do in order to allow the efficient use of my computer and internet serices? Kaspersky is not helpful: the manual is meeger and tech support (email only) is scant and response time is slow.

I'm sure there are some geeks out there who think that Kaspersky is just the best (and not all of them work for them). I'm not one of them. I just like to use my computer, not spend hours a day wrestling with my protection software. If you're like me, this product is not for you.

Not recommended.

Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user  [Posted on 2008-04-26]
I bought this internet security software from amazon. The price was the cheapest and the best.I was using Norton Internet security software but was not much happy. So far I am happy with this software.

Good for the Price [Posted on 2008-04-28]
This is a good product for the price. It does not help you with problems the way Norton does but it is a lot less expensive. When I need to renew it, I will.

didn't meed expectations... [Posted on 2008-04-29]
For whatever reason, this software slowed down my computer to a crawl (took about 45 min for the computer to boot), and I have a dual processor... From the other reviews, it should have worked great.

I returned it and got Norton's Internet security (which I had before), and all now works well. Maybe there's something in Norton's software that causes the dramatic slowdown with other similar programs...

Works great [Posted on 2008-05-05]
We've used various versions of Norton products for many years. We tried Zone Alarm a few years ago. Norton has caused problems on both our XP and Vista machines. The most recent was when it would not let us renew our subscription, but kept taking us to the upgrade site. After reading many reviews, we decided to try Kaspersky on the XP and Vista machines. We've had it on for several weeks now and it is working great. The machines boot up faster and there does not seem to be any issues while we are working on the machines. We don't even notice that it is running even with the frequent database updates. Would definitely recommend this product.
