Biggest software mistake I've made this year. I've spent hours trying to customize it to keep computer running smoothly…after two months its still full of problems. If you have hours to waste tinkering, this may be the product for you.

I guess one of the best, if not the best.

I started using Kaspersky products from 2007 and tried kaspersky 6, 7, 8, 2009. 2009 was the most difficult… 7 and 8 are different in appearance but…user friendly. The detection level is high except for security threats like spyware and malware… I was forced to use other antispy software…

System running a bit too stable? Not experiencing enough aggravating slowdowns to suit your taste? Then install this PoS and get all the aggravation you seek. One-stop shopping!

This version (2009) of Kaspersky sucks. It slows down shutdown … and uses too many resources. I prefer Kaspersky 7.0.0.125…

The best Security suite…never had any crash, light on my system… Detects 99.9% of threats. Just see: 98% by signature, 42% by heuristics and 68% by HIPS. The people who say its not stable … with your stupid NOD32 that gets owned by the first virus that it's "legendary" heuristics fail to find... or Norton, McAfee or CA which… never detect anything.

My A-1 choice for all things buggy and unstable. Why use good software when you can use Kaspeeerssssky?
