 Maximum Frustration April 22, 2008

I had tried the DSL for the last year and I just dropped it and went to cable. The one drawback was I lost my free McAfee and Spy Sweeper that came with the MSN DSL. After looking at a lot of the internet security programs out there I decided to try the Kaspersky since it had the highest customer ratings of all of them. Was that ever a mistake!
I downloaded the 1 month free full version of Kaspersky internet security 7.0. Even after uninstalling my McAfee and the free version of AVG that I had it still took two days and several tries to get the Kaspersky to install.
It took another day for it to run its updates and two more days to run all the full scans. I know my computer is old but its not THAT slow! Its an old DELL Optiplex GX240 running Windows XP Pro with a 1.7 Pentium 4, 30 gig hard drive (80% full) and a 160 gig Seagate external (20% full).
Now when first starting to boot up my computer in the morning it takes at least 20 to 30 minutes for Kaspersky to stop taking up 100% of the CPU. And every time I try to do something it gives these pop-up warnings that some file or program is trying to do something to some other file. It stops everything until I tell it to let it do what ever or stop it. And I don't have a clue what the heck its talking about!
It has done something to my Internet Explorer too. Now its almost useless and it takes for ever to load a web page. And it keeps stalling and locking up for several minutes at a time. I'm using Firefox now to write this since it would take all day to do it in IE.
Every time I open one of my programs its the same thing. And now one of my photo programs wants to run its update and Kaspersky has a pop-up calling it Riskware and wants to Quarantine it. It did that last week and yesterday said it was a mistake and replaced the file.
So if you are the average computer user like me and don't know all that much about the different types of files, what they do, and all that, DON'T GET THIS PROGRAM! It will drive you nuts!
Now if you are one of those that can write programs, Walk, Talk, and Dream in computer language, then this program is for you. But then you wouldn't need it because you could write your own thats even better.
To use this program I think you would at least need to of had some computer programing class's in school. I would NOT recommend this program to any one and as soon as I can find something else to replace it I'm getting rid of it.

It was easy to install, easy to use and update and is doing everything as described. What more could I ask for? Besides, the price was right.

Easy to install and works great in protecting my computer! I used to use Norton Internet Security, but now I use this one with more protective features.

Whenever I buy software, I check Amazon user reviews for some indication of whether it will perform. Things like Internet security software are usually controversial. No matter how good, someone will still have a problem with it. I've used both Norton and Trend-Micro. Both do the job, but I found Norton to use way too much in the way of resources. Trend-Micro has worked well on a Dell notebook, but I was looking for a single source that I could use on all of my computers. Given the reasonably large pool of positive reviews, and the Amazon rebate making the software essentially free, I decided to give it a try. So far, no regrets. I've loaded and configured a desktop and notebook with no problems whatsoever. The user interface is intuitive and clear for anyone with any experience with this type of software. It is a full protection suite and there are some features you may or may not use, so go through the configuration settings and make sure you don't have other active software doing the same job. System response with firewall and anti-virus / spyware is fine (Dimension 4600 with 1GB RAM / one year old XPS140). If you're looking for an alternative to the more well-known names, think about giving this one a try.

Junk! Locked up my computer upon re-start, and took me several hours and many restarts to finally be able to un-install this. I've gone back to another product.
