PT Pierpaolo T. Senior Front End Developer Government Administration Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/31/2018 "The best antivirus so far" 5/5 What do you like best about Kaspersky AntiVirus? It does its job perfectly, plus you can choose any level of protection or of intervention: you decide whether to let it treat the threat or to intervene manually. You have the option to clean, quarantine or delete the infected file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kaspersky AntiVirus? The scanning process is sometimes CPU demanding so it might slow the machine down sometimes. The same is for the update process: sometimes it consumes all your bandwidth (in Italy we have poor connection sometimes) so you might be tempted to postpone it, risking to postpone it indefinitely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Kaspersky AntiVirus: Do not postpone the updates: they are crucial and might save your life! If you need your bandwidth, schedule the updates for a later time when you can leave it doing it's business: viruses ant threats have variants: a new update might be able to discover some that might have slipped previous checks. Also, take time to do a regular full system scan, for the same reason: automatic scan checks only the files in use: you might have a virus within a file that is dormant in your system and only by doing a full can you can be sure to find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kaspersky AntiVirus solving and how is that benefiting you? I know that my files are safe from the threats that are too spread nowadays.

RS Rahul Kumar S. Software Developer Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/29/2018 "Everyone has to use an Anti-Virus and with Anti-Virus the first thing comes to mind is Kaspersky.." 4/5 What do you like best about Kaspersky AntiVirus? 1. It's internal and total security feature by this I mean they let me choose, what I want to protect and accordingly It's price varies. If I choose only to protect my online transaction then I have to pay little and suppose I want it's total security In which they provide smooth functioning of my device than they cost little higher but price is fair comparing to other software in this segment. 2. They provide plan for 3 devices that just fit me, other vendor provide either for 1 device or 5 or 10 but why do i need that when I only have 3 device. 3. Support for all of my devices phone, pc and tab and it's really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kaspersky AntiVirus? It slows the PC functioning down and this is fair because not this approx all Anti-Virus scan for things that's why they take longer to upload file or download the file. Sometimes high Resource usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Kaspersky AntiVirus: It is fair in price and comes with good Internal and total feature.

JH Jose Manuel H. Alalista Banking Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/21/2018 "One of the best antivirus programs on the market" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Kaspersky AntiVirus? I am fortunate to have tried this version of antivirus, Kaspersky AntiVirus (2016) is a very powerful and easy-to-configure antivirus, but above all, very effective and secure, it protects very effectively against malware, phishing, viruses, trojans, spam, hackers, and others. Highlight the protection against phishing, very powerful in this version of antivirus, which protects your personal information such as logins, credit card details, etc., in addition to warning you about malicious websites. This way you can enjoy complete peace of mind when making purchases or banking transactions on the Internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Kaspersky AntiVirus? One of its negative points is that it has a confusing, limited, and overall very disappointing customer service. Additionally, on the other hand, a parental control feature is not included (except in the Mac version), something I consider important for use both at home and in the office. Another negative point to mention is the price of its different types of licenses, in my opinion somewhat high, although it must be acknowledged that we are dealing with a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Kaspersky AntiVirus: If you want a reliable antivirus to trust with all your sensitive data, Kaspersky AntiVirus (2016) is a good option, as long as you don't mind spending money to purchase one of its licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Kaspersky AntiVirus solving and how is that benefiting you? A feature that has always convinced me about this antivirus, and that has occasionally gotten me out of one problem or another, is that it has the ability to reverse the changes that malicious programs have made on your computer to ensure that no danger remains. Something very important to consider when you are handling such sensitive information within the sector I work in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
