I’m using neither but since this is a question of preference, I would go with the Kaspersky Internet Security rather than the other one. KIS offers more control and better customization over some of the features provided.

Yeap, I just installed it on a 3 year old laptop. It runs great, without much lag but occasionally when your scanning then it'll lag.

well

For office use if you're using server and client, use the kaspersky space if i'm not mistaken...

(define [KAV]
"Kapersky Anti-virus")

(define [KIS]
"kapersky Internet Security")

Personally, I'm not a big fan of these "all-in-one" security packages. IMO they cause more problems than they solve. And if nothing else, usually they are bloated and filled with unnecessary features. Witness Norton, McAfee, and in more contempary times, AVG.

Personally, its better to have tools that are specific for the job. Antivirus is antivirus, not catching spyware and rootkits. The former threat I deal with Spybot, ad-aware and AVG anti-spyware, while the latter I use Icesword, and when I'm not feeling brave, RootkitRevealer.

I use KAV, and I used KIV, and KIV was horrible. It pretty much took over eveything about security. While that would probably be a good idea for people who don't know any better, I need full control.

And no one will doubt that KIV uses more resources than KAV.

I think for normal users it's better for them to use the all-in-one package. Easier

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).

Im using Kaspersky Internet Security and I thought it able to detect hacker.
In fact is not and I just got hack by an hacker and stolen my password.
Kaspersky Internet Security is SUCK... indeed.
Furthermore, the software unable to use for 3 users. After 3 user it will not be able to activate. Until today they couldn't investigate and improve their software.
It SUCK.. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you. Kaspersky is SUCK!!!!
Now I rather use AVG or Avast.
