 Much, much better than Norton Antivirus! December 14, 2007

I have been using Kaspersky 7.03 since October 2007 and have had NO problems with it. My computer runs faster now that I've gotten rid of Norton Anti-virus. Before you install Kaspersky go to the Norton site and download the Norton Removal Download to remove all the Norton clutter.
My ISP has an excellent spam filter so I disabled the Kaspersky spam filter.
 NO MORE TECHNICAL SUPPORT!!!!!! January 7, 2008

Kaspersky used to be a good product. They now no longer have any technical support. There is no way to write to a technician and get an answer. There is only a knowledge base. I have the new Internet Security 7.0 and it keeps asking if I will allow it to send Mozilla Thunderbird emails. I keep checking "make rule" and "allow" and it does no good. I have written Kaspersky 4 times and they write back and refer me to knowledge base and no answer and no solution on knowledge base. BUY ZONE ALARM. MUCH BETTER PRODUCT AND THEY ANSWER EMAILS

This product is undoubtedly the worst piece of software I have ever come across. Running Windows XP. I installed it and it appeared to go nicely but after restarting, where again all appeared to go well, somewhere near the very end of the restart I came upon the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). After 6 or 7 trials repeating this behavior I tried to uninstall but couldn't in safe mode. It took five hours of dedicated labor, a non-trivial amount of computer knowledge, and knowledge that the average user just doesn't have to uninstall and remove it from my system. And, of course, there was no on-line help, their knowledge base was useless for this, and an email produced the sound of crickets.
This is no surprise to the vendor because I found several forum threads all over the internet dedicated to just this problem. The bsod error message is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and appears to be related to specific drivers. So if you really really want this product hunt around the internet and find out if your drivers are incompatible.
I only wish I could give it a zero.
By far the worst April 26, 2008

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.
Won't upload November 25, 2007

This software is the only one to not upload into my computer so I know it isn't my computer.
I bought this software back in September and can't get it to upload into my computer. The manual isn't any help in this matter but seems to be pretty informative for a useless manual for the useless software. I suggest you go buy window washer and webroot spy sweeper with anti-virus just remember that to latter doesn't work well with xp's firewall and virus stopper so you have to turn them off but you don't need them with it.
