For anyone thinking of getting Kaspersky Internet security, I would recommend getting Norton 360 instead. I’ve used this software for a year now and it’s given me nothing but problems. Like any program, it sits on the system tray and monitors computer activity. The biggest problem is during start-up. It doesn’t start-up. Even though your network is active, it won’t let you use the internet until the tray icon starts. That often forces me to reboot and waste another 7 minutes. I know it’s not my computer because it’s even worse on my laptop. There have been times that I had to boot into Linux because I wasted more than an hour restarting over and over. Both my laptop and desktop have 4 gigs of memory a piece, which should be more than enough to run a security program. The moment I de-installed it and put in Norton 360, the problems completely went away. This is a direct result of poor programming.

About security…what security?? This software has caught a total of zero viruses. I have had my browsers hijacked more times than I can count. The free stuff usually finds and deletes them.

Don’t waste your money buying this bloated software. It’ll run OK for a couple of months, but eventually the performance will degrade to the point where it just causes problems. The software is buggy and ineffective at it’s main goal of seeping your computer secure.
