Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 [OLD VERSION] Reviews
All three licenses expire one year after it is installed on the first machine (even though I will only get 9 months of use from it on the thirs machine). I haven't noticed any degradation in preformance on my computer like I did with Norton. I installed it on 3 computers, thinking that the 1-year license clock starts independently for each machine. Even though I installed it on the third machine a full 3 months after I installed it on the first, the expiration date was the same. Wrong. My only issue with it is that it is a 3-user license. This product is totally invisible while it's working.
The system would likewise not allow me to disable the firewall or uninstall the program as I was not an administrator. I ended up having a professional computer whiz uninstall the Norton program. I'm glad you asked. I switched from Norton to Kapersky Internet Security when my Norton Internet Security program began malfunctioning like the HAL 9000 computer. Since I replaced the security program with Kapersky I have had no problems with my system.
At the time I was told that the challenges I experienced with the Norton program were not uncommon. As such you could access sites, such as banking and on-line catalogue ordering, but you could not log-on. Norton Internet Security began blocking access to any "https" sites. Kapersky was a much needed replacement for my computer security.
The security icon would show that my computer was at risk, but when I clicked to get more information I was greeted with a warning that I was not an administrator. What were the challenges.
Having switched from Norton Internet Security because it was slowing down my system and was especially bothersome for this reason in addition to the cumbersome functioning of auto-upgrades and regular scans, I see that Kaspersky presents great improvements in these areas. From this standpoint, it's a better made product and a breath of fresh air. In brief, while no security system may be perfect, this, from an end user standpoint, beats Norton and MacAffee hands down because it is smoother, faster, less cumbersome and more transparent. In addition, it is much more transparent and interactive.
We've used them all, since we're in the business but prefer this. This is typical Kaspersky. It does it's job, more thoroughly than the others.
I am not a software expert, but have handled and completely understood many softwares (the way it works), not this one. I am now planning to switch to Spysweeper anti-virus/antispyware security suite after reading pcmag review. I decided to switch to Kaspersky Internet Security from ZoneAlarm ISS (which was not performing well recently, update failure, etc). My IE used to shut down for some unknown reason (probably because of those nasty worms) for some very popular sites including Sony, Blockbuster, Apple, Cnet, etc, now they all open in IE. For instance, it detects YahooMessenger program as invader. After doing this, when I turn Kaspersky back on, it asks me to delete TDServer Control installed by the website. Mcafee anti-virus, Symantec anti-virus.
I normally visit one website (anandabazar.com) for the newspaper in my mother tongue (Bengali), but Kaspersky does not allow it to display its fonts and detects it as malicious object (adware). I could tell you more examples, but it could be non-ending. Installation was not that bad, after a full scan, it detected and deleted some fatal trojans and stabilized my system. Not to mention, I have used Spysweeper anti-spyware before and stopped using it as it failed to "sweep" (unable to connect). Configuring this software is very confusing. This IS is not good for non-technical people at all.
And I must say all are good, but none of them gave me peace of mind. I don't find any problem with the above-mentioned website, but Kaspersky does not understand it. Its limitations cover up its advantages. Only after shutting down the IS, fonts can be displayed. Even for very popular programs/websites, it gives me warning until I add them to trusted zone.
After reading reviews at amazon.com,[.]. I have also used the following softwares:. Hope that they have fixed the bugs in the new version. Good job here. Bottomline: Kaspersky may be regarded as good IS, but not the best.
Even if I ask Kaspersky to allow the process, the fonts cannot be displayed either. It does not know the difference between the good and the bad. Now, the bad news. Awesome deal from Amazon, it was free after MIR.
