Version: Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125
"Excellent, full featured security suite."
Pros: The single user license is expensive but a three user license sells for $79.95. The same price as "Norton 360" and twenty times more effective. It comes with an outstanding firewall, a malware scanner thats excellent on viruses, trojans. worms and spyware. The detection and removal capabilities in this suite are unmatched. It has a great GUI ans with some time learning this suites features it becomes very easy to use. Updates are as unobtrusive and smooth as they can be. Unlike "Zone alarm", it's very light on system resources and doesn't slow down my system at all. I use this suite and think it's the best all around protection package available. This security suite works perfectly with "Vista" and I can't see it being out performed by any other, similar application.
Cons: The price could be a little cheaper but you do get what you pay for and in comparison to others that sell for the same price, it has no competition.

Version: Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125
"Good suite but I had issues with it."
Pros: I'll never trash talk about "Kaspersky" but I've moved on. Why? Because my Vista System was big time sluggish and the suites AV module failed to engage about 50% of the time when I booted to my Win XP Pro drive. This suite is very effective, has an excellent virus rating of 97.89% and screams at you, literally when a nasty is detected during a download. The firewall is stubborn but after you tell it a rule it remembers, though sometimes it asks more then once and can be a pain in the rear end. It has a nice interface, updates often, can be configured and is full featured but I can't recommend it for newer computer users.
Cons: Although I hated doing it, I've moved on to ESET Smart Security. The move solved both of the problems I was having with KIS. Vistas performance is what it should have been all the time and ESET's AV always engages at startup on my Win XP Pro drive.

Version: Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125
Pros: Nothing, read below
Cons: I use Revo uninstaller to uninstall all my programs. After trying out the trial version of this, I uninstalled with Revo. After My computer froze for about 3min, I finally did a hard boot, and logged back into windows. The windows xp boot screen was telling me that Kaspersky was still installed, even after the uninstall. Nothing also, that this "program" destroyed system restore, I finally decided to reformat, and start from scratch. There are better security programs out there, and this one does not cut it.

Version: Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125
Pros: I like it because it uses very little RAM, and it's somewhat fast.
Cons: I have no idea how many times I had to set rules for the firewall and it still does the opposite of what I saw and repeating things as if I was not clear enough.
Then here comes the technical support. I bought my version legally, in package and purchased a key and it has been blacklisted.. and then I was confused. I purchased another one, blacklisted, and then I gave up and asked them what happened and they said I was pirating and used a key that I did not purchase. Geez that's helpful when I just had two keys I bought and they've been working for only about 3 weeks in total! SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY CARE. No wonder this product is so underrated now.
