 Danger! Danger! July 14, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Downloaded KIS7 because previous subscription was expiring. During load it said to remove old K product first (why didn't the installation program remove it?) After tedious and time consuming process it finally loaded. Then it said database is obsolete (over one year old). Why didn't it download the current database? When I clicked the button to update, it said the site could not be found. The product shut off all access to the network (Internet, email, LAN). I disabled all the protection, still no access to the net.
Then I tried to remove the program; it wouldn't let me! Other programs on my computer ran, but KIS7 wouldn't let itself be removed (isn't that what a virus does?). Then I tried to restart. KIS wouldn't let me restart! At the risk of really screwing things up, I had no alternative but to cut power! I crossed my fingers that my computer still ran. Low and behold, KIS7 was gone, and I had access to the net. But now I don't have any anti-virus protection!
Apparently "customer service" is best found on K's forum. The "expert" said not to use the standard MS removal program, but to use K's special program (why didn't the download instructions say that?). Then he said to create a "GSI log" which requires a tool from...the internet. But wait...KIS7 prevents me from having internet access!!!
What a nightmare! A day later, I am far worse off than I was yesterday at this time. I use my computer for work, not to troubleshoot someone's lousy software! I thought I was being proactive by renewing two weeks early. Not sure what to do now except find an AVS that works and try to get a refund from K or the credit card company.
Moral of the story: I should have read the Amazon reviews rather than rely on magazine reviews!
7/29/08 UPDATE: "Customer Service" was unable to solve the problem. They finally offered a copy of KIS 2009 or a refund. I wasn't about to shoot myself in the other foot and try 2009, and I needed antivirus protection, so after days of troubleshooting on my own I was able to install KIS7 (I'm not about to release the details - why should I help Kaspersky? They need to fix their product.).
It runs ok; startup is faster than Norton but slower than KAV6, but IE is MUCH slower. Even after a complete scan and 5 years of virus free operation, the "Proactive Defense" (which runs continuously) generated 650MB of reports in 4 hours!!! Besides eating up memory quickly, it definitly slow things down. My computer ran fine (and faster) before using it (PD), what's the point now?
Obviously KIS7 has problems! (Otherwise they wouldn't be pushing KIS2009 and offering rebates on Amazon).
 Freed from Symantec. July 13, 2008

This product installs without a glitch, works as designed and is to date less intrusive than Norton/Symantec or McAfee. It offers security and protection without creating a bigger problem on your system than it is preventing. Very happy to be free of Symantec after 10 years of ongoing application problems.

 Pretty good but poor (next to none) customer support. July 7, 2008

My new HP notebook with Vista64 came preloaded with Norton Antivirus. I updated and activated the software, rebooted and was rewarded with the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. HP tech support suggested that I uninstall Norton and use something else. I went out an purchased Kaspersky and I had initial problems installing beacause of Norton not being completely uninstalled. I managed to get it working after getting my own self help by reading postings on the internet and Kasperskys self help page. There is a Norton uninstall tool to clear the registry. Anyhow... I had other issues such as windows not loading the desktop etc... No tech support from Kaspersky. There is NO RESPONSE from their email support program,so you are ON YOUR OWN. I suspect that the company is not doing well, so shut down their email support staff. Once you finally get it up and running, it is great.
Block Everything July 7, 2008

I regret having bought this. It blocks video im's on AIM and after hours on the phone and the live chat, they don't seem to know why. No 800 number for tech support and no support on the weekends. I wish I would have bought the Norton.
