I became familiar with Kaspersky 2 years ago and I have never been disappointed....the software is fantastic and easy to use, and online support is second to none!!
This version makes this security suite the easiest and most comprehensive security suite to date and knocks the spots off all others (Norton eat your heart out and cry...!!!).
Licence key gives 3 users ability to install at same address and access to hourly security updates aswell as being able to run heuristic scanning (ie malicious software not yet known butcharacteristics shown to be in use already on your system which could be determined to be viral attacks).
Also within the licenced period, any updated or new version is free to install as you need it....no hidden charges for newer versions...as the Kaspersky team are constantly trying to stay two steps ahead of viral and keylogging attacks - a battle they appear to be winning!!.
If you want top quality Internet Security in one package...look no further than Kaspersky....EXCELLENT1 Posted by oldyorkie, United Kingdom
I am sure it may be a great security suite, but it is far too picky. I have already uninstalled AVG 8 using a professional uninstall utility - to all intents and purposes there are no traces of AVG 8 on my system, but still Kasperksy refuses to install.
No matter - I will go back to the Bit Defender suite which isn't as fussy and worked just fine. Posted by expatscot, UK
The trial version of this software was a LIFESAVER for me. I tried three other highly-rated AV programs before opting for this (the other programs were Norton, McAfee and AVG). None of them picked up the virus which hitthe PC.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 picked up the malware and destructive virus that wreaked havoc on my brand new PC. It's very comprehensive and, since it's continuously updated, you can rest assured that the PC is well-protected. It's also very easy to use, with a range of good features.

It was a little difficult to set up because it picked up a trace of the uninstalled AVG program on my PC. You have to use Registry Editor (Start-Run-"regedit") and delete the AVG key. This is well worth having on your PC and I have bought the full version. Posted by Paul, UK
