Kaspersky Antivirus 2009 Review

When it comes to installation, Kaspersky is doing very well. The size of the kit installation is approximately 50MB and the process of installation flows easily. After you restart your computer,  Kaspersky effectively begins to scan it. Kaspersky antivirus does not remove automatically the files of an already installed antivirus on your computer and this may pose problems. As a result, the computer is likely to break down. This situation occurs when two or several antivirus packages run simultaneously and in this case the computer runs slower and gives many error messages.

Kaspersky Friendly Interface:

Kaspersky has been one of the best antivirus software on the market for quite some time now, but in the beginning it was less easy to use. After the launch of version 7, Kaspersky has much improved the interface of the software interface which matches the quality of the antivirus package. Other improvements have been made for the version of Kaspersky 2009. This variant has been released and its interface is the best among all the other tested antiviruses. All the features are easily configured, intuitive and easy to use - control panel works perfectly with Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
