What's great about it: Easy to install, offers solid protection
What's not so great: Complicated to setup auto runs, No instructions, Bad cust service
I've been using the product for 20 months now and all three computers have been virus free the entire time, so the software does its job. The downside is that the company is Russian run and next to impossible to get in touch with a live person that speaks english, they want you to do all of your troubleshooting online using their FAQ section of the website. The 2011 version was much more understandable to use than the 2012 version. The 2012 has too many moving parts and the desktop icon installed differently on all three computers, so it makes you question if you did something incorrectly. Its a little pricey compared to some of the other anti-virus competitors, so I may choose another company's software next year for price & the ability to call and speak with an english-speaking live customer service rep.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It was cheap
What's not so great: Corrupts databases loses reg key creates inconvenience when you have to remove it and re install the product
This was my attempt to remove myself from symantic and Webroot and it failed. On my Win 7 Computer the software decided that after a week my reg code was bad ... solution uninstall and reinstall . On my Vista system it has corrupted its databases twice. The first time update seemed to cure it. The second time I wasn't so lucky and the solution once again is to remove and reinstall. Than it didn't recognize the reg key Suffice it to say I stepped away from Norton and Webroot for different reasons but I rarely had this many issues with the anti virus software as I have with this
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Ease of use, easy to install.
What's not so great: you must have the internet on that pc to update at once .
I bought the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 - Windows to use on all my pcs. But not able to use on two of them. Software out of date and only have internet on one of them. The other two that i needed it on are used in the small business we have. So I would not recommend this to anyone. Works great on the one I have it one but does me no good for the other ones that I wanted it on. As soon as you install it, it has to update all files so that it may work properly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Price, does what it promises
What's not so great: Installation instructions
The installation was confusing and didn't follow the quick steps included in the package. I wasn't sure how to check for viruses. But after muddling through it, was able to check and it did remove any viruses on my computer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
