Review by Gus
So far so good. Outperforms Norton, which is what I had before. I am running it in a Dell computer with an I-7 X980 6 core processor, 12 GB memory, Windows 7 Ultimate, and a RAID-1 configuration. Not a gaming system, this is a work computer, and Norton used to bog it down to the point that it took up to 5 minutes to start Excel and email processing became painful, not to mention that I had problems with the renewal last year and had no way to get my money back, Symantec’s help desk is by far the worst that I have come across. I have not had to get support for Kaspersky, and I don’t think I will as everything in my computer is working top notch. The protected Browser feature works very well, and in spite of some of the reviews I have read, the full system scan takes less than 20 minutes, Norton used to run for 2-1⁄2 hours.nReduced the rating to 3 starts, I’ve had the following problems:n1. Even though I scheduled a scan when it is convenient for me, once a week, it scans at any time, sometimes slowing down response.n2. Prevented a backup job to complete. Backups are more important than the scan.n3. When a USB drive is connected it scans the drive, and then I have to open it manually, not the way I have it setup.n4. Very difficult to set up the pop-up blocker, it either blocks all or none. Some tasks that I perform require a pop-up for signing in and to enter information. This is a nuisance and should not work that way.
