Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user user reviews

"Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user is the best all-in-one security package available today.
I tried all versions of Norton.
I tried the latest AVG and Trend Micro.
All of them do not compare to the slick and easy interface and setup of the Kaspersky package.

The only feature you may want to change from it's default setting is the file scanning feature which you may want to put at maximum if you are prone to attacks.

Please at least install the trial version before believing the other comments posted here.

You will be happy you did.

Also, the price for a 3 user package is very affordable. "

"I had a malicious 'worm' virus attack embed itself in my PC recently, so I had 'Geek Squad' fix the problem after my Windows XP system went 'haywire' and became unusable. I have cable broadband and my 'Norton' anti-virus package let me down. The 'GS' technician highly recommended I delete 'Norton' and go with the 'Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0' package, which offers total protection on so many levels (firewall, anti spyware, anti pop-ups, anti virus). The installation was simple and everything works seamlessly. I even have the 'Kaspersky' software allow advertising banners within websites I frequent, but disallow pop-ups. PERFECT! Moreover, I was told that 'Kaspersky' has been highly touted by all the PC magazines and online review sites, and it's not a 'memory hog' like other packages, thus not slowing down one's online surfing experience. This bears out, since there has been no noticeable slowdown when i'm online. What a relief to now know I have maximum security in place while i'm online, and not even noticing it since it works so seamlessly in the backround! HIGHLY recommended!

ADDENDUM and UPDATE to my review; March 27th: It is a few days after I initially posted my review, and I feel impelled to add to the accolades for this incredible product! My wife's PC has been 'disabled' by viruses, spyware, and pop-ups to the point where it has been unusable for months now. After having good luck with 'Geek Squad' with my PC as described above, we were going to call them and probably spend a few hundred dollars more to get her PC operational. But before we called 'Geek Squad', I thought to myself why not try installing Kaspersky in her computer, and see if I could run a complete system scan to get rid of viruses and spyware that had slowed down her PC to almost a standstill. Amazingly, Kaspersky detected close to almost 300 'infections', and either deleted or quarantined/neutralized ALL OF THEM! This product is utterly AMAZING, and in one simple system scan, FIXED my wife's PC! It now works like new, and we have Kaspersky running to keep things this way. And we saved a good amount of money by not having to call a tech. I cannot say enough GREAT things about this software. It is a GODSEND (and no, I am not affiliated with Kaspersky in any way)!!!

FURTHER UPDATE: It is now almost Feb 2009, and I installed another copy on my new Dell Vista PC. Kaspersky works FLAWLESSLY in the backround, and my surfing speed is excellent. Honestly, I don't even detect I have Kaspersky running. Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user is amazing! "

"I installed this software on my laptop and my desktop two months ago and am gratefull I have not had any issues. The firewall is solid and the antivirus is excellent with multiple updates each day. I did do a clean install, as every year I reimage my hard drives and that is when I add new software so maybe that is a reason I have had no issues. I have not noticed any slowdowns while working or web surfing. If you need a good firewall/antivirus suite I would recommend Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user. "

"Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user is a generally excellent anti-virus program as can be seen by other reviews. It is not entirely perfect, at least in my experience.
The default setting for the integral firewall is low security. It is perhaps advisable to leave it there. Setting it to medium security places the firewall in "training mode". This renders Kaspersky entirely too obtrusive in my opinion with constant pop-up warnings against even known safe web sites, even those that are visited on a routine basis.
The registry guard feature sounds well in theory but, again, can lead to excessive pop-up warnings. This can make installing new programs and updating existing programs difficult. The feature can be easily turned off however and, to be fair, Kaspersky is not the only security progam to do this.
The almost minute-by-minute pop-ups (I confess I exaggerate slightly here but it sure seems like it sometimes) offer quite technical information regarding arcane processes that most users would find baffling and therefore useless. I have found that, in most cases, acceding to Kaspersky's recommendation to deny the process promptly cancels the task you were trying to accomplish like opening a program for example. For the first few weeks, these warnings should be fairly prevalent as you train Kaspersky to your computer's environment but I find them just as frequent after four month's use.
Less excusably, Kaspersky recently issued an automatic update that tried to quarantine explorer.exe. This is a vital process that Windows needs to run to do pretty much anything. A correction was quickly forthcoming and updates can be rolled back to previous versions if there's a problem but, still, I feel this was a very great blunder for a company of Kaspersky's reputation to make.
In my opinion, Kaspersky provides rigorous security for your computer but, in return, demands your constant attention."

"Intro: Over the years, I've had several computer security programs... going way back, I started with Mcafee because it was pre-loaded on a computer I bought, but I found it to be too intrusive and too "buggy".... then I went to Norton which I had for several years. Again, bugs abounded and the software really slowed my computer down. After that, I moved to Trend Micro's Internet Security software because I had heard it used less system resources and therefore the computer would run faster. I didn't find this to be true. Trend Micro was OK, but I kept reading stellar reviews of Kaspersky and decided to give it a try when my subscription lapsed.

This is a good suite of software, not perfect, but very good. It installed pretty easily, though during installation the computer rebooted unexpectedly, but no harm seemed to be done. After it completed its initial scans (which did take quite a while), it doesn't seem as intrusive scanning as other programs. It only scans new or changed files, so my computer doesn't seem to be scanning all the time. It also found a couple of Trojan horses that Trend had not discovered.

It comes with "parental control" turned on, which I didn't realize, and it was blocking access to fairly innocuous pages (such as "Excite", which has a provocative name but is anything but Exciting). I turned off the parental control and I again have access.

This software seems to have the smallest footprint of any security software I've used... it doesn't hog system resources, and unlike my old software, I can actually USE the computer while it is scanning.

Kaspersky isn't perfect, but it's the best I've had so far...I'd recommend it.

Pro's:

* Does not drain system resources or significantly decrease response time
* Easy to use
* Very thorough - finds viruses etc that other packages do not
* Good price, especially after the rebates frequently offered!

Con's:

* No telephone support - all support is via "live chat" that never responds. Email support is a 48-72 hour turnaround. Not ideal. But not many of these software firms have telephone support these days; Trend Micro is an exception I believe.

That's the only con I could come up with! And I was trying for at least 2-3.... overall I'm very happy with Kaspersky.

UPDATE ON 9/12: I may have posted the above prematurely. In the past day or two, I have had significant issues with Kaspersky blocking my local network. I cannot print on my local network, nor can the computers "see" each other. Scanning the online help forums, it seems that the firewall function is a bit "buggy" on this new 7.0 release. There are many topics regarding it and several "help" files in the Kaspersky Knowledge Base. I'll update this once I get more info - but for now if you're on a home network, you might want to wait for a few updates to the firewall part of this software.
Update 9/20: I've gotten all of my problems fixed (well, those related to Kaspersky at least...) I think most of the issues were caused by uninstalling Trend Micro instead of installing Kaspersky. The people on the Kaspersky user forum were very helpful and I'm up and running. I'll continue to recommend Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 3-user! "
