I had the misfortune of buying the Kaspersky Anti-Virus v7.0. Not only is this the absolute most user-unfriendly product I’ve had, it started causing problems with updates. The product updates would not communicate with the Windows Security Center properly, so Windows would report that this software was “turned off”. Not so. I got disgusted with this product and uninstalled it. Also, I sent a message to Kaspersky customer support about a refund. They haven’t had the courtesy to even reply with a yes or no. I would not recommend any product from this company, since they don’t seem to stand behind their products, and will NEVER purchase another Kaspersky Labs software product.

After I installed this, my computer (2004 Dell Inspiron 6000, Windows XP) took 30 to 60 minutes to get onto the internet (AT&T high speed). I uninstalled it and bought Norton/Symantic’s version and I am back to full speed.

Vista is driving me nuts, and Hp’s version is bad. My friends Toshiba with Vista is problematic, but better than my HP laptop.
I bought the Kaspersky after Zone gave me BSOD. I loaded Kaspersky, and the computer quit crashing, but it was weird. I downloaded System Mechanic, and my computer was back in my control, but the SM and K didn’t always play nice, so I downloaded the SM Pro and deleted the K.
I can’t believe that it is the same computer. It acts like it should, almost.
Update July 10, 2008
Well, the Symstem Mechanic eventually ruined the computer, so about the middle of May I did a complete recovery of the Vista, junked the SM, and put the Kapernsky back in. I think that my problem was that I tried to delete some of Hp’s bloatware and tried to block the updates.
Now, I did not delete any of the HP software, and set the updates to notify me, and I wait a couple of days and then install the important ones. I still haven’t tried SP1 yet, but I will soon.
Now, I like the computer a little better, but I still do not trust it.
If I could change the Kapersnsky to Five stars, I would. I will definitely update in October.

I tried and failed to install this product on three different computers. Each time, I received an error message. Support is minimal. Installation problems do not seem to be addressed on the website. The suggestions I recieved were to uninstall most or all of my other spyware and firewall programs. I wanted easy. This wasn’t it. This program makes Norton–a notoriously difficult program—look good.

Its a known problem. Zone Alarm must be uninstalled prior to installing Kaspersky AV 7.0. Once AV 7.0 is installed you can not install Zone Alarm 7.0 or above again. Its a known conflict. ZA uses some of Kaspersky’s AV tech and Kaspersky uses some of ZA’s firewall in the internet version. But as seperate software they conflict. So if you use the free zone alarm and want to still use it avoid this. And if you want to you use Kaspersky AV 7.0 you must avoid Zone Alarm 7.0 or above. Go look at the forum at ZA and its a known problem. They suggest you try the ZA ver 6.5 but its not available for d/l anymore…
