Review by CQ DX
I had a malicious ‘worm’ virus attack embed itself in my PC recently, so I had ‘Geek Squad’ fix the problem after my Windows XP system went ‘haywire’ and became unusable. I have cable broadband and my ‘Norton’ anti-virus package let me down. The ‘GS’ technician highly recommended I delete ‘Norton’ and go with the ‘Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0’ package, which offers total protection on so many levels (firewall, anti spyware, anti pop-ups, anti virus). The installation was simple and everything works seamlessly. I even have the ‘Kaspersky’ software allow advertising banners within websites I frequent, but disallow pop-ups. PERFECT! Moreover, I was told that ‘Kaspersky’ has been highly touted by all the PC magazines and online review sites, and it’s not a ‘memory hog’ like other packages, thus not slowing down one’s online surfing experience. This bears out, since there has been no noticeable slowdown when i’m online. What a relief to now know I have maximum security in place while i’m online, and not even noticing it since it works so seamlessly in the backround! HIGHLY recommended!nnADDENDUM and UPDATE to my review; March 27th: It is a few days after I initially posted my review, and I feel impelled to add to the accolades for this incredible product! My wife’s PC has been ‘disabled’ by viruses, spyware, and pop-ups to the point where it has been unusable for months now. After having good luck with ‘Geek Squad’ with my PC as described above, we were going to call them and probably spend a few hundred dollars more to get her PC operational. But before we called ‘Geek Squad’, I thought to myself why not try installing Kaspersky in her computer, and see if I could run a complete system scan to get rid of viruses and spyware that had slowed down her PC to almost a standstill. Amazingly, Kaspersky detected close to almost 300 ‘infections’, and either deleted or quarantined/neutralized ALL OF THEM! This product is utterly AMAZING, and in one simple system scan, FIXED my wife’s PC! It now works like new, and we have Kaspersky running to keep things this way. And we saved a good amount of money by not having to call a tech. I cannot say enough GREAT things about this software. It is a GODSEND (and no, I am not affiliated with Kaspersky in any way)!!!nnFURTHER UPDATE: It is now almost Feb 2009, and I installed another copy on my new Dell Vista PC. Kaspersky works FLAWLESSLY in the backround, and my surfing speed is excellent. Honestly, I don’t even detect I have Kaspersky running. It is amazing!
