Anti Virus Comparison 2009
Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 Complete Review
About 2 months ago an extremely popular anti-virus company released their newest version, their 2009 release. I will be writing up a Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 Review in the hopes it helps some of you get ready for the new year and the viruses that come with it. I spent the forty dollars in the hopes that this software will be my anti-virus software through the 2009 year, but that may not be the case. In any case I have a review here that will help some of you decide. I installed Kaspersky on my Windows XP system for testing purposes.
This new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus was very solid and effective at the actual detection of various spywares and viruses. I infected my PC by systematically going to various websites I knew would infect my computer. I made sure to take a note on which sites and what order I visited them, as to duplicate this at a latter time when reviewing other virus softwares of course, for example for Norton or AVG.
Immediately upon trying to install this latest virus program, I ran into trouble as I was getting a message on my screen telling me Kaspersky was interfering with another virus program on my computer. I didn’t have another virus program installed, so it was probably reading old registry values that were not effecting Kaspersky at all. Probably a false alarm. Another problem was hot it wanted me to enter the product key in which Kapserksy emailed to me. It would not let me copy/paste it in, I had to do the very long key by hand, which of course I screwed up a few times, this was very annoying.
The next topic in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 Review will be about how well it did in scan time and removing of spyware and malware. I was very happy with the scan time of the full scan methods and also the quick scan methods, both were fast by my standards. However I was displeased with the actual results that were not displayed to me.
Upon completion of these scans it returned me to the opening window, instead of displaying what was removed, what was not removed, what was quarantined and things of that sort. I later leanred of the very small “report” button in which you need to click in order to view this. I did not like this at all.
I like being given the option to remove something or quarantine it and not just be told later on what was done. I like being the driver when running programs, I do not like the programs to drive me and tell me how it went later on. I’m boss when doing my
home computer repair, end of story 
Overall it did a very good job at what it was and is supposed to do, find a remove viruses. Maybe I am nit-picking a little but I think Kaspersky’s next version should be more user friendly, for some of the non technical savy people in this world. I hope you learned something from this Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 Review, next article will be a complete comparison between this virus scanner and a AVG anti-virus over at home computer repair.
