The strongest antivirus ever that I used
Windows User
Why does this writer judge Kaspersky as bad as it is because he only hates Russia ??? It seems that this writer is very racist. I first used Kaspersky, got very good protection and did not affect computer performance at all. For the problem about KSN it might actually function as "Google search for sensitive information" that was not a problem at all for me because the collection of user data is usually needed for security analysis.
This blog only defames Kaspersky actually. Many other web sites that assess Kaspersky are very good or perfect.

So much irrational hatred of the Russians it's sad. China is the real enemy and the real hacker !!! I've run Kaspersky for 10yrs now and NO viruses or other malware. No hacks of my computer and No data breaches. And let's just say even if Kaspersky was gathering intelligence of the Russians (Which it is Not) what does the Kremlin care about the average citizen ??? Absolutely nothing !!! Who does the U.S. Govt. hire to protect it's systems and hack others ? People convicted of hacking that's who ! So if the Russians are such great hackers then obviously their the best to also protect you from hacking !!! And if they did do all the hacking the U.S. claims they'd have to be too stupid to hack anyone because they apparently don't know how to hi...Show More

If this review is to be believed and why wouldn't it be. How is Kaspersky still on sale in the UK ?

Can only praise it
Windows User
I have Kaspersky Internet Security and can only praise it! Kaspersky has found 7 viruses, hijackers, and Trojans, which G-Data failed to notice.

Kaspersky is complicated
Windows User
Kaspersky Internet Security found 7 viruses, hijackers, and Trojans, which G-Data failed to notice. But what about the rumours about how it infects devices with its own tracking worms? Not sure if I can trust it...

Microsoft and Win10 are the greatest virus and spyware around and you're worried about Kaspersky?

So true! If I trusted MS I wouldn't even be looking at reviews for other security options.

I agree with you Scott. I’ve used Kaspersky for many years! No issues & in 15 years, I’ve pretty much tried most of them.

Not loving it
Windows User
Pretty much ok, does what it should, but it slows down my computer. All in all, it’s cheap and you get what you pay for.

Probably worth a try
Windows User
I have tried many free antivirus programs. Many generated false positives on harmless files. With Kaspersky, false alarms occur much less frequently.

Voi vain kiittää sitä
Mac User
Minulla on Kaspersky Internet Security ja voin vain ylistää sitä! Kaspersky on löytänyt 7 virusta, kaappaajaa ja troijalaista, jotka jäivät G-Data:lta huomaamatta.
