Definitely an improvement over KIS 7. Easier to use and scanning time is faster. Parental controls is improved also. Even tells you that some installed programs have known vulnerabilites and a link to a web page outlining it if you are interested. I have tried other solutions such as Norton IS 2008 and I much prefer Kaspersky.

KIS2009 is a solid suite, with the following characteristics:
- Easy installation and removal;
- Uses few resources, HDD and RAM;
- Is fast, faster than older versions, comparable to Avira or Nod32;
- Contains all the usual components of a suite;
- Good detection, certified in various tests (AV comparative, etc.)

I use avira premium security suite. I switched to kaspersky for a change and i found a lot of problems. Many softwares that i use were having problems with kaspersky internet security 2009 especially internet download manager, dumeter etc. Also when i manually scanned the pc it took almost 3 hours for the whole scan of my pc. avira takes only 35 minutes. Features are many but still resource utilization is very high. i liked the gui and it is easy to use bt i won't recommend it to anyone. my rating is 2 out of 5

It's the security suite with the best detection and fastests updates. Version 8.0 is even 50% faster in scanning and uses less resources.

I have used Bitdefender, Avira, Avast, AVG and this is best of them. It doesn't use much resources and doesn't let viruses and spyware to enter in computer. Only interface is not pretty. It doesn't scan for too long.

Very Good And Easy to find his liscence key And free

I never use it but i interest to use it because its the most antivirus searched in the world.

kaspersky antivirüs

yes it a good antivirus, but is not one of the best, and the price is very high, sorry i wont choose it....and also it needs more sistem resources

Kaspersky antivirus software is widely regarded as the most thorough AV software available, detecting more viruses than all others.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2006 beta is Kaspersky's next-step software combining their renowned AV software along with Internet-threat detection and prevention software all in an easy to use and attractive package.

Integrated together is Kaspersky's AV software with the ability to scan e-mail and files alike, anti-trojan/malware/adware software with intelligent firewall and port-blocker. The application runs as a service preventing problems on-the-fly and has the typical file & e-mail scanner of similar complete packages like Norton AV, McAfee or Computer Associates AV packages.

Kaspersky does things just a little big differently, though. You get all the same features of those heavy-weights without the heavy-weight drain on system resources while Kaspersky is running and you get Kaspersky's legendary detection capabilities in a package that is light on resources and the wallet.

One thing to pay attention to is that it is easy to launch multiple system scans simultaneously and not realize they are all running. While this won't hurt anything, and may be desired if for say you are doing a full system scan and want to scan a particular sub-directory without waiting for the full scan to get there, it can be launched unintentionally by the careless user and place more of a performance drain than necessary on the system.

The software protects well, but doesn't get in the way like some packages (read Trend Micro).

You won't find finer protection. I suggest you give it a try and see why Kaspersky is the legend that they are.

I have used several anti-virus programs for the past 10 years or more and Kaspersky has surprised me with all its features, and its ease of use. It lets the end user fully customize the way it works, and thats what it does, IT WORKS!!! unlike McAfee or Norton, Kaspersky doesn't use up all your system resources all the time, and it Definately has a lot better Virus/Spyware/Adware/Nagware database than any of the programs I have previously tested. As for the upgrade from 5.0 to 2006, This Beta program is a great improvement, The GUI is very simple, the options are very easy to configure, but has the power of a very difficult to configure program. I do not see anything at all wrong with this product, I am looking forward to the other features to be released later in this beta series such as the Registry scanner / protector, as well as the Anti-Spy which is going to feature the Privacy Control, Anti-Phishing, Popup Blocking, and Anti-Dialers... By the time this is no longer Beta, it will be at the very top of the line in PC Protection software, and I recommend that everyone make this essential upgrade to their PC, whether it be in the home environment or in the large scale business environment.... Thanks Kaspersky for such a great product, and thanks softpedia for hosting it!!
