I used pretty much all the big antivirus packages out there. Currently I am using F-Secure antivirus and I have mixed feelings about it.nPreviously I used Kaspersky Security Suite and I didn’t like it mostly because of the annoying firewall. As an antivirus I was always happy with it.

This package includes only the antivirus and is pretty solid. It installs without problems and it works. If you are worried about having on the CD an earlier version (build) that might have installation issues, you can always download the latest from Kaspersky and activate it with the serial number provided.

Kaspersky is a well-known name in the security software community and it always has one of the top places when somebody does a test on multiple security suites or antivirus programs.

The load on the system is not slowing it down, at least not on my machine, but maybe on older computers it could be a problem.

The only issue I have with this software is again the Kaspersky firewall. Since the firewall is not part of this package it is indirectly affecting it. Like most users, I would like to have a security suite rather than individual products made by different software vendors. In this case, I cannot have the anti-virus without having the Kaspersky firewall, therefore, no matter how good the antivirus I will not use that in combination with say Norton Firewall. This makes this product of limited value for me and I will probably not buy it by itself. The only use I can see for this as a standalone antivirus is on a test machine when you want to scan your suspect files with different antivirus programs.
