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.

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.

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?
