Review:
This article will be a Kaspersky Anti-Virus
2010 Review. I spent the $40 bucks to get a copy not only to test it
but what I thought was going to be my Virus Software for the year to
come. I might have been counting my eggs before they were hatched if
you know what i mean. I installed this program on my backup Dell laptop
computer running Windows XP.
Just like all of the previous, non
beta, releases of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, this version was very good at
detecting malware and viruses of the sort. I would systematically go to
websites I knew contained viruses or spyware and I would purposely let
the computer get infected. I noted all the sites and in what order so
that I could run comparison tests on other anti-virus softwares like
AVG later on.
Moving on in the Kaspersky
Anti-Virus review, lets discuss how it performed in the actual scanning
for malware or viruses. I was pleased with the time it took to do a
quick scan, but I was not pleased with how was notified of these
results. I really was not notified of the results whether they were
cleaned or sent to the vault. I later learned I had to click a very
small button called "Reports" which would tell me all of that
information. I would of liked to be notified on each removal of a piece
of spyware, maybe one piece I wanted to keep, the point is I just like
being in control and choosing what goes on my PC.
Like I said it
did the normal full scans and quick scans rather quickly like the old
versions of the software. It did remove all of the infections that was
able to get while browsing lets say not G rated sites. So it did
perform well in that regard.
In all it is a very solid working
anti-virus software for most people. However it does need some work to
its actual functionality and usability. Many computer users are not as
technical savy as some others, and they need to remember this when they
start to develop their next years software.
