I actually did not have this on my computer very long. I upgraded to it from KAV, and shortly after installing it I was able to upgrade to Kaspersky Pure. I highly recommend Kasperksy Pure. But that’s another review.

I tend to use a cocktail of software products for security. I like having one dedicated to anti-virus, and that’s where Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) comes in. Although it has numerous security features such as identity protection functionality, parental controls, spam protection, etc. I am primarily concerned with its ability to detect and trap viruses, spyware, and similar problems. I’ve yet to try any software that catches everything (and I’ve tried them all), but KIS does as good a job as any of them. The other features are just gravy to me but I didn’t extensively test them so I can’t honestly say how well they stack up compared to the competition.

KIS didn’t bog down my computer, and it played well with the OS and other programs. It didn’t produced any false positives that block legit software from running. It did occasionally throw up some warning flags on some software that I had to manually mark as safe to prevent it from getting flagged every time I ran it. But other than that I have no complaints.
