Kaspersky 2010 installed pretty fast and found and fixed some malware I had on my computer, which surprised me, because I’d been running Bitdefender 2009 and thought it was pretty good. Well, it is pretty good, but apparently it missed some things.
I like that the red, green & yellow status indicator flashes now when the program wants your attention and a simple click of the Fix It Now button gets me right back to work, worry free. I understand that there is a slowdown with security software, but my computer actually seems a little faster. I assume that’s because I uninstalled Bitdefender 2009, then installed this. So for me, Kaspersky runs faster than what I had. It runs in the background and doesn’t hassel me. So, I’m liking it just fine right now.

I run Kaspersky for several years. From XP to my new Vista64 laptop. KIS version 7 was the best one. It was light on the system, and very secure. Things started to go wrong after that. Starting with 2009. KIS works terrible in Vista64 bit. The real pain started after upgrading to 2010. Opera browsers takes 10 more seconds to boot and the same can be said for allot of other softwares. I noticed that my dual core with 4 GB laptop was getting slower and slower with each Windows updated that was rolled out. One night browsing folder and files it became terrible slow. Taking 10 seconds or more to open each folder. I disabled Vista Search Index. Rebooted system several times, check allot of things to get to the problem on what was using so much the disk. All I could find was that the disk access was 4 KB per second !!! Kis was always using somehow allot of CPU but I was blaming this on explorer. exe
So I finally decide to uninstall KIS. It took me like 2 hours so slow it was.
After that I booted and VOILA. Its like a new system. Almost all programs open on the fly, browsing files is a pleasure. And even boot times it no longer 3 minutes. I do happen to do allot of maintaince on my system with with TuneUP which is great but i was realy shocked on how fast everything was without KIS. I had to basically uninstall it completely so I could gain control back of my system. KIS was such a resource hug that I cannot believe I was using it so long. I changed to Norton and the system runs 100% perfectly as it did not had any antivirus. Perfect. KIS is an incredible resource hug on the system and their support is TERRIBLE. I happen to have bought my licenses directly from their website and pay like 40% that you pay for a boxed version. They never even reply your emails. And whats worst they make it hard or almost impossible to contact them. What kind of company is this that avoids paying clients? One year I could not even renew my license and they charged me a new one because I losed my key. Dont get me wrong KIS is a great security tool or I can say WAS.
It has almost nothing new from version to version except their sandbox features which I do like but besides that its not worth the resources it takes to run it even on new machines. My laptop is 4 months old so I cannot imagine how this runs on older systems. Did I mention that upgrading to 2010 changed my master password? Yes. I could not change the KIS setting anymore as it said incorrect password and I had to download a registry patch to reset it.
PLEASE do make yourself a favor. If you use your PC for work its not worth the delay. It increases opening of almost every program in your system by double. Disk access or any kind of file access gets also terrible slow to the point thats unacceptable. I hated norton for year but their version is just amazing. It runs perfectly. I just miss some features like to watch on real time files that are connected to the internet and the fine tuning KIS allowed you. Norton just works out of the box and I could love to play with setting more but its runs incredible smooth that I dont think any security solution right now can match it.

Just what I needed to renew security for my two computers. I give the third one to my sister. It is much more cost effective to buy through Amazon that renew directly on the computer.
