Review by Holdfast

I used KIS 2006 successfully for a year after being fed-up with Norton. At renewal time I was forced into KIS 2007. It was a disaster (see my KIS 2007 review).

After working with their technicians, I was led to KIS 2009, which was in beta at the time. I installed it with much trepidation (was I embarking on another time-sink?), but I didn’t have many alternatives (the devil you know vs the one you don’t know).

I was pleasantly surprised that it installed without much problem. Subsequently I’ve installed it easily on two other computers. It has been working flawlessly for six months.

The overhead seems to be minimal (at least relative to Norton) and it doesn’t interfere with installing new programs. It seems to offer a lot of information and reports for geek types, yet isn’t intrusive for those of us who want to minimize administraive issues.

Perhaps not perfect, but it works for me.
