Kaspersky Internet Security
I have used Kaspersky a long time now since owning a Windows 98 computer! The independent AV ratings for Kaspersky speak for themselves. It is a highly configurable piece of software and I admit that could be daunting for new users but it does provide a lot of control. It can also be a very noisy application out of the box, but with a few tweaks to the settings this can be managed. Recently the number of times it would remind me that I hadn't used a particular application for several months became a little annoying and once again after doing some research on the very useful user forum a few more tweaks to settings sorted this problem too. Modules that I don't want and use can also be turned off in the same way.I have trialled other anti-virus applications but none quite seem to have the same functionality, the way it allows you to manage scans for instance via the Task Manager is far easier than other applications i have tried. Its not perfect of course and sometimes it is difficult to interrupt it whilst doing a full scan, however as I tend to schedule them overnight and shutdown on completion it isn't a problem.Finally I never buy directly from Kaspersky. I always buy an activation code from Amazon, uninstall the previous version of the application keeping any settings and then download/install the latest trial version from Kaspersky and pop in the new activation code. It is far cheaper doing it this way.

Good piece of software!
For those not in the know, when purchasing the "Activation by Email" version , you are only buying the activation code and not the actual software.The software can be obtained from the Kaspersky site, just download a trial version of your chosen software, then enter the activation code found in the email sent to you, or alternatively go into Your Orders and you should see a "Go to your Software Library" button. click that and it will take you to your games and Software Library and the activation code will be displayed there as well.As far as the software is concerned, it does everthing asked of it on my PC and partners laptop with no fuss whatsoever.

KIS renewal
I have used Kaspersky for a long time, it is getting rather intrusive and provides fetures that I don't use. The long initial scan everytime you switch on does use up a lot of resources for a long time. This is most noticeable on an old laptop with an I3 processor .... my desktop with an i7 is less affected. .Strangely Amazon are selling this KIS Internet security for significantly less than Kaspersky themselves. Another example of "Loyalty doesn't pay" ???

Does not even download.. nothing more than an instruction manual
How the hell do you download this?! It won't let you. The same thing happened last year, I bought it twice because the first wouldn't download. utter rip off, absolutely useless if it won't download on windows 10?! It simply opens up an instruction manual, there is nothing to download. Being half the price of last year I should have known it was a con.You probably have to search for days to download the right version free and input the licence code which I am currently trying to do. Absolutely nothing to tell you this though, you expect (as it states) that you can download it. Be aware, you can't!

Wish I didn't have to renew my license this cumbersome way...
Yet again my licence runs out and I have to renew. But the best price is always to remove the old software and buy a new version, rather than the online upgrade. Tedious. However, straightforward to do and software works just fine.

Brilliant value
What it says on the tin, works doing it with the email code, takes a while to set up but as long as you've got a decent understanding of computers you will be fine. Don't waste your money buying separate internet security from elsewhere as this works great.

Waste of money and time
Complete waste of money.Same as others who have downloaded via Amazon, instead of downloading I get a PDF instruction manual.There is no support from either Kaspersky or Amazon.Will now have to purchase something else instead.Will definitely NEVER attempt to use anything from Kaspersky again.

No Trojans!
Big fan as its easy to use and is a good backup in case windows firewall lets anything in.
