[CGUYS] Kaspersky
Does Kaspersky Internet Security have as good firewall in it as Zone Alarm? Where could I get a good deal on it if I did not want to fool around with Staples EASY REBATES? Be at Peace. *** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***
Re: [CGUYS] Kaspersky

[CGUYS] kaspersky?? is it safe - is it better than Norton
I need to renew a couple of computers AV software currently on Norton AV. After reading CNET's review of Norton ( it is a pig, 300MB in size and monopolizes 258MB of memory) I was thinking of switching to Kaspersky. Any thoughts would be appreciated. McAfee is not on my list because it is a pain. I have used AVG, but the user interface leaves much room for improvement. My biggest concern is that this is a Russian company, and it just seems odd to me that the CNET best rated security software is from a country where the Russian Mob extorts money from virtually every business. Somehow I get the uncomfortable feeling that they are some how involved in this and stand to profit greatly. When you go to the Media Contacts on their website, it puzzles me that every worldwide office has a mailing address except the Headquarters. Their contact information does give an address in Moscow as their Headquarters. Please tell me I am just being paranoid, and that this is safe software.

Have you looked at AVG? Equally good to McAfee and Norton, Equally foreign, but many more positive testimonies. www.grisoft.com (Not a sales pitch, only a longtime satisfied customer on about ten network installations) Michael Drabick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need to renew a couple of computers AV software currently on Norton AV.

Thanks Ellen, I have tried AVG and find the user interface to be cumbersome. But you are right AVG is good and does not seem to hog resources. A plus - they are a German company.

Re: [CGUYS] kaspersky?? is it safe - is it better than Norton
I currently use Kaspersky. Relatively unobtrusive. A 10 seat business license is about $380/3 years. I *did* have trouble with the malware components on my test machine (too obtrusive), so have selected the install option 'anti virus only' when deploying. I can't address the question if they might be owned or even influenced by the Russian mob. They've been around for years, if that assures you at all. And I imagine even the mobs need safe computers!

Re: [CGUYS] kaspersky?? is it safe - is it better than Norton
As a small business and home PC consultant (until earlier this year), I installed Kaspersky for many, many clients, and for the most part was pleased with it. Certainly didn't see any signs of mob activity! And it was quite effective at cleaning up infected machines. It is a vast improvement over Norton. More recently I've been using and recommending NOD32 from Eset. It's had a long history as a geeks AV, as it is very efficient (doesn't slow down the system very much) and has better heuristic detection than many that has resulted in it running away with certain AV bake-offs that prioritize the newest threats. It was also geek-only due to a notoriously unfriendly UI, but the most recent version is much improved, and is in several ways easier to use than Kaspersky. Both have free trials- I would suggest you give either / both a spin (not at the same time!!!) and purchase the one you like. -Robert -Original Message- From: Computer Guys Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony B Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 4:23 PM To: COMPUTERGUYS-L@LISTSERV.AOL.COM Subject: Re: [CGUYS] kaspersky?? is it safe - is it better than Norton I currently use Kaspersky.
