Not a resource hog We have used Norton and CA products. Both were huge resource hogs. Our computers run much faster with Kaspersky AV than Norton or CA. We are very happy.
Free Support if you can find them. From the moment this software downloaded onto my computer I've had nothing but problems. No phone # available on package, left message with their online service-which they promised via email to respond to within 48 hours, I am still waiting. I uninstalled it after 8 days and loaded McAfee, most problems resolved. Kaspersky is so arrogant they think they don't need to REALLY provide support because their product is perfect. I have a new rule, no support phone # on the box, no purchase.....and I may even call... more info
2nd time buying this product I purchased the 2008 version for my other PC and wanted this for my new laptop. This is a great product. I had other anti-virus software (Norton - can't stand it, takes over my system; McAfee - don't use it except at work) but someone turned me onto this product and it's been great. Isn't very intrusive, at least from what I can tell, and doesn't lock my PC or laptop up like Norton always did.
Just "OK" I've tried pretty much every major retail (and some not retail) versions of anti-virus software. Kaspersky AV is right in the middle of the pack. There were several installation issues and some fairly disappointing software compatibility issues. I wanted to run a different firewall and K-AV is incompatibile with it. The software was installed on a completely fresh windows install and there were installation/compatibility issues. Technical support was able to solve them fairly quickly through some patches... more info
