6 Good reasons to Buy:
The following are 6 good reasons to buy Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011
1. Kaspersky proven ability to protect our customers
Kaspersky Lab is a leading developer of security software. Kaspersky Lab has consistently proven its ability to deliver the highest malware detection rates and fastest response times to new threats. Our user base (which exceeds 300 million systems) gives us high visibility of new threats as they emerge, and huge insight into what protection is important to our customers and what they expect of us. Kaspersky Lab has the infrastructure, systems, know-how, and technology to deliver large scale malware protection. Cybercriminals invest heavily in malware producing up to 30,000 new threats every day. As cybercriminals become increasingly expert at writing and delivering malware, Kaspersky Lab is very well placed to offer long term protection.
2. Real time protection against new malware threats
With 30,000 new threats a day, cybercriminals continue to increase the quantity and variety of threats used to target your PC and personal information. Daily, Hourly or even 15 minute pulse updates are no longer enough to assure protection; even though they can reduce the performance of your PC. Kaspersky's Urgent Detection System (UDS) is the real time – low interference answer to this problem. Kaspersky Lab use real-time reports from over 1 million customers on the Kaspersky Security Network to build comprehensive databases of safe and unsafe software and internet sites.
3. Keep your PC running smoothly and protect your PC and files from damage and loss
Malware authors mostly fall into two categories the first being cyber vandals who's only intention is to manipulate with the contents of your PC to demonstrate what they can do so, their motivation is often peer status and fun. In quantity terms these are massively outweighed by cybercriminals who are in business to make money out of exploiting electronic vulnerabilities to steal your private and financial information. One thing that both of these groups have in common is that from time to time they will damage the contents of your PC, sometimes to make it more difficult to work out what else they have been doing. As well as damaging your information this may have an impact on your PC's performance by slowing it down, and blocking/hiding/moving PC facilities etc. Kaspersky Lab offers unsurpassed protection against malware interfering with your PC and your information.
4. Kaspersky Anti-Virus (KAV) makes it easy to protect yourself.
You don't have to be an expert because Kaspersky Lab is. 20 years experience fighting cybercrime and cybervandalism and protecting over 300 million customers has given us the expertise to consistently deliver outstanding detection rates and response times – and understand our users needs. KAV 2011 has a new installer which makes it far easier to set-up on your PC. It also gives customers a choice of 2 interfaces, the standard interface allowing detailed control of your security and the Kaspersky Gadget – a simplified tool which allows users to quickly carry out the most commonly used tasks. Users can elect to automatically perform updates for newly identified threats and install new software to ensure they are using Kaspersky's latest know-how to fight emerging malware.
5. Intelligent approach to maximize PC performance
Kaspersky Lab has a well deserved reputation for fast software security whilst preserving your PCs performance. Whilst other AV manufacturers are making progress, none have surpassed Kaspersky Lab's raw software performance. Kaspersky Lab take a more intelligent approach to managing the balance between software security speed and PC performance, we have added options such as scanning when PC is idle and Kaspersky Lab's Game Mode suspend alerts, updates and scans while you play.
6. Clearing problems if they get onto your PC
Many of our first time customers buy Kaspersky Anti-Virus to fix problems left behind by previously inadequate protection. KAV now makes it simpler to remove stubborn third party security products during the installation process. Also if the installation process fails due to viruses and malware already on the PC, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will abort the installation and initiate Kaspersky AVP which will perform a thorough clean down of the infected system preparing it for a clean install. In the rare occurrence that newly emerging malware can sneak through even the most advanced security protection. Kaspersky Anti-Virus constantly polices the behaviour of your PCs software identifying patterns of malicious behaviour which could damage your PC, or lead to your identity or personal information being compromised. Kaspersky Lab will stop most new malware programs even if they have never been seen before, it also comes with easy to use tools such as Rescue CD – which completely cleans infected systems, and System Watcher which is a quick way to remove recent malware and undo any changes and downloads it may have carried out on your PC.

Costumer Reviews
I've used Kaspersky on and off for the last few years, and my experiences have generally been good ones. However, previous versions of their AV software have been a little top heavy, used too many resources, and slowed down some other applications. I had read good reviews of the 2011 package, but having already tried and been very disappointed by the Kaspersky 2011 Internet Suite, I was more than a little sceptical. I was wrong. This package is spot on, and runs smoothly and effectively. Best of all, it doesn't hog resources so much, and doesn't seem to hinder other applications that are running simultaneously. As an AV package, it is extremely effective, identifying more problems (or potential threats) than any version of any software I have used to date. I would definitely recommend this software for it's effectiveness, price, and because it is so easy to live with. Updates are automatic, and very quick, as are the regular scans. Let's hope Kaspersky keep up the good work!
Let me start by saying that I regularly review security software for Amazon, as I have many friends that require this "protection" and I've pretty much used them all by now.
The one(s), however, that have found themselves on my laptop are Kaspersky (and ESET NOD32) simply because of their sheer brilliance.
Let's talk about the Kaspersky in a bit more detail now:
1. It is very very good in what it's supposed to do. The virus definitions get updated daily and its scanning facility is one of the best around. Like NOD32, but to a lesser extent, it is very good in detecting Trojans and other dangerous malware and spyware before a "signature" has been created for them.
2. Installation is straightforward, yet it requires a number of reboots and online registrations.
3. The makers of Kaspersky have decluttered the main screen of earlier versions. Much more intuitive and user-friendly in v11, I have to say.
4. Clear and real-time protection, much like any other AV, but in a way that makes you feel safe and secure whilst using it.
Only one disadvantage relative to other AVs. It does feel as if my laptop is running that bit slower compared with when it had McAfee on it or even NOD32, especially during the booting of the system.
Overall, one to have certainly on a powerful desktop if you want absolute security from everything dangerous out there.
