I just bought this kaspersky internet security (was using Avast + Comodo which is good, but going for kaspersky since I saw a lot of good review).
K I use it. The problem is going on, as well for everyone having problem in the forum posting about it too.
I'm going to have a review about it.
Good thing about it is :-
1. Nice GUI
2. Fast scanning
3. Fast acting (the moment you load a webpage with virus it stop it which I never see before in other Antivirus program).
Tat's all about it lol
Bad thing is much more:-
1. Very bad firewall. Configuration is not user friendly like the Comodo.
2. Best detection? Well, I don't know. It work like how the free Avast did, with more annoying pop up than Avast.
3. Application like Firefox 3 (experience hang, i got it fixed, which you have to reset everything in the firewall, and it will repeat again which i don't know when it will)
4. Some other internet-related program like FDM (FreeDownloadManager) not working flawlessly with the program. It just block some of my download.
5. Helkern.worm attack pop up randomly, seem like this is a popular pop up (I have two computer, they pop up just the same, I guess this goes with everyone else) and I don't really like it, it's like making us believing this antivirus actually doing it work! LOL.
In my opinion, it was way more smoother using Avast + Comodo.
Haven't tried the Avira (the download jump to Top 4 in Download.com beating Avast).

Sorry to say this but it's pure BS. KAV is obviously cheaper than KIS due to lack of certain functions.
According to the website, KAV = £29.99 and KIS = £19.99.

The website should be wrong, how can they sell something with more functions cheaper than something with less functions. In Malaysia, Singapore and China. KAV is cheaper than KIS.
Seems like its reduced from £39.99 to £19.99. But, will KIS take up much bandwidth?
KAV is enough already...it provides complete virus protection especially for gamers as it uses less resources than KIS....and u can install another firewall programs or just just the Windows Firewall and some antispyware programs such Spyware Doctor and DONE!!! Ur pc is now protected....

Bandwidth as in system resources? Well, all I can say is that, I can run it on 512MB RAM and no problems.
@.@?
why are we talking in £ currency?
KIS vs KAV = 1 : 0 ^^
Internet Security has more features than the Anti Virus.
maybe for people who are simple minded, they should go for the latter.

Sorry bro, can't really agree with you. KIS has Firewall which KAV doesn't.
yeah i know .. the firewall if not properly set will block all traffic including internet access..

Not really, the default settings will only allow access for IE 7.
VISTA got a decent enough firewall which blocks 2 way traffic. If using XP, KIS is recommended, for VISTA KAV is enough, but of course, KIS has more advanced firewall than VISTA built-in firewall.
But for simple users, i thnk they should just stick to VISTA firewall...well, at least if i'm installing for somebody else so that they don't bug me with too many questions...LOL.

But for advanced users:
I think they should use any good/trusted/known AV and use a 3rd-party firewall like "ZoneAlarm or Comodo".

Nope, you have no idea how powerful Vista Firewall can be with advance settings unlocked.
