I thought this was a good suggestion.

Anyway, if you are using your computer with no Internet connection whatsoever, then perhaps getting yourself the Kaspersky Anti-Virus [KAS] software would be a good idea since not a single feature in Kaspersky Internet Security [KIS] software would benefit you. However, if you are going to use your computer to go online, even if it's for a chat, I would recommend the KIS software.

There is still the need for an antivirus software to be installed onto a computer, even if it'll never be used to go online, as viruses can still penetrate into a computer system through pendrive, external hardisk, CD-R whereby file(s) copied from another's computer, such as a friend's, might contain viruses.

Probably the only way that a computer doesn't require any antivirus software is when one can make sure that not a single file from any external source will come in contact with that computer. However, if this is the case, then it would be muct better to not have the computer in the first place. tongue.gif

This is something new to me. I wasn't aware that the software will cease to work if it wasn't updated for a period of time. How long usually before it's blacklisted la?

Easy and simple

KAV : Anti Virus Only
KIS : Anti Virus,Anti Hacker,Anti Spam,Anti Spyware(Ad Blocker..etc) and Parental Control

Choose it.I prefer KIS,less software to use.

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.
