Best Antivirus
Windows User
In March 2021, I installed Kaspersky Security Cloud free and found it good. In April 2021, I installed Kaspersky Total Security 30 days trial and found it good. In May 2021, I bought Kaspersky Total Security and it's just awesome. Kaspersky is the best antivirus for detecting all kinds of malware, wonderful phishing protection, and unique safe money browser.
VERY HAPPY

The best antivirus software I have used
Kaspersky

its by far the most secure suite I've ever seen up to date.
Kaspersky is great, and Ms. Zacks' review is a hatchet job

I don't remember reading a IT-related review written as maliciously as this one. My experience with Kaspersky Antivirus is fantastic. Before Kaspersky, I have used several free av programs (Avast, AVG, Avira, etc). Then I switched to Kaspersky Free Antivirus, and it was obvious to me that Kaspersky is superior. Now I use Kaspersky Total Security, and it's great. It's easy to use, light on resources and offers many additional features (VPN, firewall, protected browser, password manager, etc).
Russian government's meddling into other countries political systems is currently one of the greatest threats to freedom, democracy and peace in the world. But claims of Kaspersky Lab being a front for FSB are not proven. Until hard evidence for such...Show More

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
Suggestion for Kasperski
Windows User
I think they should separate the company into regions that only use the application in different regions and share the profit. But they would store the data in that region, and manage it according to local laws, and each region does not share any data with the other regions. As it stands, I would not use the product no matter how good it is. I think it is effective, but I have other concerns with it.
Newbies defending their right to be spied on.. Lol

The bad reviews of this article are very funny... Russian Trolls spotted again... Claiming you "didn't had a problem in years" is not the point... The point is the suspection of spying.. Of course they don't care about the average "Joe Newbie User" , but the point of this program is to discover the *rare* notebook with sensitive data and phone home.. So "Joe Newbie User" in his boring suburb will not see ONE bit of a problem, but "Peter The Engineer" working at Lockheed Martin will trigger the thing..
A biased and xenophobic review.

You fail to mention that Kaspersky also has an user forum. I've used both Norton and Kaspersky products (not at the same time) and they are both excellent products. As the Technical Director of the UK's NCSC stated in December 2017 (See report at https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/managing-supply-chain-risk-cloud-enabled-products) it is far more complex that just a blanket ban of excellent product A from bad county X. Kaspersky's products have consistently excellent reviews from numerous institutions in various countries. You just adopted a lazy, biased approach to your review instead of actually looking at all the evidence instead of just blindly reprinting articles from various newspapers.

Do you believe that Russia is spying on U.S.? It's true.Do you believe that U.S. is spying on Russia? It's true.
Do you believe that U.S. and Russia are spying on their citizens? It's true.
There must be no fanaticism and we must not participate in the political games of governments,media and perverse journalists,we must have an open mind.Now we comment on Kaspersky and the users want to learn about.Kaspersky is the best protection ever and completely protects the computer from any threat and infection,no other antivirus can achieve this so effectively.However,Kaspersky has a single disadvantage,significantly slows the computer.Only for that reason I don't use it anymore.

I have been using KIS for many years and it has always given me great protection. Don't believe US (or anyones) propaganda about Kaspersky or others, it's all about money and control. Do the research yourself make your own decisions.
