i have been using KIS since it got compatible with Windows 7 and i still use it and i don't want anything else, it a bit more than i actually needs but still i enjoy having something a little bit over protected but it have helped my dad, mum and sis alot bcs both my mum and sis r like always clicking yes on things and with KIS no choice it does it for u xD and with my dad he is like oh, oki, nice to be protected ^^
You can never have "too much" protection when it comes to security.
I used KIS once, but it was horrible.
It slowed the internet connection somehow.
And then, I found it was uploading/downloading something every second it was running. Nearly 5GB everyday... Dunno where.
Now Im happy with MSE
KIS may not be your favourite, but it's definitely not 'horrble'. What version were you running and how long ago? They've made a lot of improvements over the years.
If you're getting a mystery 5 gig download every day then it sounds like you have an infection on your PC. No way does Kaspersky
ever do this.
I tried MSE once and it has the most retarded a/v update system I've ever seen - it's fucking manual! :shadedshu Because it's connected to Windows Update, if you don't set it to install your updates automatically, then MSE asks you to install every single a/v update. This is totally retarded, as a/v updates showed load silently in the background, like they do with every other security software out there. This annoyance alone rules it out. What was Microsoft thinking?
Pffft, i think it is becoming less functional and more 'clever looking' to get those sort of computer illiterate people to buy it as it looks cool. I personally think it is slightly slower and more gimmicky than the older versions.... They may say they have improved thing but what is the point if we cannot see the benefits, they really need to make 2013 a MUCH lighter version to get me to renew with them again
I think that Kaspersky is slowly moving towards a sort of Norton/Macafee look/Performance, Eset may just win me over this time
Can anyone link me to KAV 2011 please?
While 2012 seems more of a point release over 2011 than a full version, it's certainly not dumbed down. Just look round it's settings and you can see how fully featured and flexible it is. In fact, it's got the most features of all of them, as far as I can see. The latest Norton is really dumbed down though, with only very basic options available.
Not if you buy it from places like Amazon and other online retailers. Do a little research before posting misinformation.
Actually, KIS 2012 has been out for over a month, I installed it June 7.
Yeah, it has. It's annoying how the application doesn't alert you to new versions. It's such a no-brainer to implement, that you wonder why they don't do it.
