Customer Rating: - If you don't work for Kaspersky, don't buy this!
I'm sure this product is fine IF it actually works! Upon inserting the CD, I received an error message saying that some EXE file was missing. That was just the start of the problems! I tried multiple times to get on-line help from their live chat and never made it past #5 in the queue. Even when I got in the queue at the start of business, I never got anyone to come on-line with me by the end of business! Several emails sent to their "help desk" for different problems resulted in identical responses, which didn't fix them. The technical support option on their phone support only directed me back to their on-line live chat and then went to a busy signal. Perhaps the product itself is good if the software isn't faulty, however the customer service and technical support IS ABSOLUTELY ABOMINABLE!!!

Customer Rating: - Kaspersky has never let me down.
I used to use Norton until it became so bloated and slow. I'm very happy with Kaspersky. It does everything I want it to, and nothing I don't. It updates itself every few hours. It's stopped everything bad that I've needed it to. It doesn't slow my systems down to a crawl, and it has worked 100% perfectly on my systems. I couldn't ask for anything else. I run it on a Vista and an XP system. No problems on either.

Customer Rating: - Doesn't slow down the computer...
I highly recommend Kaspersky over McAfee and Norton. I've used all three products and Kaspersky is the only one that has not slowed down my computer and still be effective. However, I did have an issue with the program in August 2008. The product completely stopped working and my PC Tools Spyware Doctor program caught the virus before it spread, but it originate from Kaspersky. THe product works but customer service needs some major work.

Customer Rating: - Not a system hog
This software is not a system resource hog. It appears to perform exactly as expected with no discernable intrusions. It simply works in the background. The only time I have ever known it was there is when it found a virus or some other kind of malware. Top marks to Kaspersky! It is simply the best anti-virus software I have ever owned.
