Review by D. Chou

When my Kaspersky Pure (KP) Total Security expired, I decided to try the Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (KIS). It has the same protection capabilities of KP but lacks Management functions (Control Center for all PCs in one’s home), and Remote Management of Parental Controls (to block contents non-suitable for children), and some All-in-One features such as Password Manager, Scheduled, automatic data backup, Encrypted data vaults, and File Shredder. The extra features are useful but not absolutely necessary; there are plenty of other programs that provide the same services.

Overall: KIS functioning silently in background and updates are automatic and fast compared to Norton Internet Security. Nothing is foolproof but it’s good to know that KIS is providing solid protection when my family is doing online shopping, socializing, banking, bill pay, researching, etc.
