Review by Nicolas E. Kaiser

I’d recommend everyone avoid almost all Russian made products for IT security. Kaspersky has confirmed their ‘close ties’ with Russian Govt. for spying. But most importantly, they continuously BREAK this product, and you’ll find it HIGHLY unstable under many conditions. There is a reason Kaspersky has failed to penetrate the enterprise market, their products aren’t stable enough over the long term for enterprise environments.

Also, this product is ‘questionable’ at detecting PUA/PUP infections, even with the option turned on. It’s simply not capable of keeping a system clean from them. Real world performance is not up to the synthetic test results with Kaspersky. It performs well on tests because of the teams they employ to pass these tests, but in the real world? Not so well.

Buy Trend 2015 or Norton 2015, go with reputable firms with a long established history, and strong customer support.
