Best Antivirus Security Kaspersky Software

Best Antivirus Security Kaspersky Software

Hello I have just got rid of Norton Antivirus it had expired I was not too impressed ,any way tried out www.kaspersky.com free 30 day trial it costs 59-00 Usdollars for 1 year and 95-00 Usdollars for 2 years

Its got lots of awards,
My PC was riddled with viruses but I am wondering whether this is a sly marketing ploy on behalf Kaspersky Antivirus Security too make me think I NEED THIS THING:) any one else here thats sure there pc is clean interested in trialing this software to see if they are at deceptive sales techniques too boost sales?

Anti-Spyware is there anything better out there?

Thanks


Heidy

  • £7 for one year if you buy the activation code on Ebay, absolutely legit and not a problem. I can't remember who I bought it from but he was based in France and he sent the code within a few hours.:beer:

    I am perfectly happy with AVAST and a number of other pieces of software and never invite the virus's to my pc in the first place...

    touch wood in ten years never yet had a problem!

    It seems if you can put up with the annoying GUI then NOD 32 is considered the best .
    I use Kaspersky and it comes ina close second and has never let me down .
    Isn't there a pc magazine giving a 6 month subscription to kaspersky away? I seem to remember a thread about it

    There you go .I havent checked any of the links ..but it's a good place to start if you are looking to buy ina month ..or six.
  • Kaspersky are a legitamate company and do not employ sly tactics, sadly it would appear that your were infected.

    I personally use NOD32 and would happily use Kaspersky.

    At least now your sure you are clean :D

    Remember no anti virus program is 100%, and if you got a load of virii then you have not been practicing safe hex, most of the problems with getting a virus or malware is down to the user !

    exactly!!! I feel confident enough that I doubt I will ever need to pay for a virus checker.. same with spam if you are very careful you can avoid that too!!!
