Is Kaspersky a good virus protector?

I got a new laptop and Trend Security was already installed, so I used the free trial offer. The store also through in a free 6 month setup with Kaspersky, but when I went to Accept Terms, I noticed it was licensed in Russia!

I just didn't like the idea that I would have to allow my computer access to a Russian company(?)

(I grew up in the Cold War era)

Any advice?

    It's your basic virus protector. A lot of people like it because it is simple to use and works. The only negative side of it is if you don't cancel it after 6 months you'll be charged for another year of it (about $39.99). When you signed up for it they asked for your credit card and it will automatically charge to that. Within the last month of the free trial you will receive 3 notification via email that offer the opportunity to cancel the subscription. Make sure you don't delete these emails thinking they are spam.

    Yes it is Russian yes it is AMAZINGLY effective NO virus will escape Kaperky BUT.... it is rough on a hard drive panicks whenever if finds anything that looks like a virus and is demanding on resources. In other words you trade fun, and are often bother by an antivirus THAT IS THE BEST OF THE MARKET.

    No offense but... grow.... the Russians are our friends now and Kapersky delivers in terms of efficiency i personaly like something a little more user friendly though..

    The best way to be free of viruses is to be on a mac however

    Good luck and fear not the Russians are NOT going to attack but to protect you 100000% .... if you dont mind a very intrusive antivirus

    well kaspersky as antivirus according to me is about good .as internet security tool it is certainly among the best.

    kaspersky is easy to download as partial software(not fully functional) but i found it a bit difficult to update .for this i would like to give kaspersky 6 out of 10 .of course if you purchase the whole version it will be easier to update and find most of the virus.

    but i suggest you to use quick heal total security 10.00 and above.i have used many anti viruses on my PC but i found this the best .firewall gives you many options to save your PC from external attacks.provide pop up blocking facility.it can be downloaded legally from the quick heal site as full working evaluation copy for one month then if you like it you may purchase it.also cracked copy of full working software is available at various sites.but if you want to download it i will suggest verified torrent at torrentz.com.DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

    Kaspersky got 30% virus stoped, so its not bad, but not good, Comodo antivirus/firewall got 100% stoped and it is free, in the world of computers, if u pay for something, its not worth it
