Ratings and reviews

Fast, modern, efficient, clean and effective! No false positives at all, and identifies the real threats. Beats every other antivirus & antimalware there is. One particular complaint is for android, the Quarantine can not be accessed. This is a well documented problem that needs to be addressed. Other that that, it's a golden standard.

Kaspersky is excellent! It is protecting my laptop, tablet and phone. 5 stars, though I have gone through a struggle to renew the android version on the phone. The screens were not as presented in the helps, so there was no place to enter the activation code. When the subscription ended, a quick un- and re-install fixed the problem. Fix this little thing, Mr. Kaspersky, and I'll give it a 10.

The best and easiest to use Internet Security I have tried. I used Norton before I knew of Kaspersky, and thought it was ok but a lot of maintenance. Things have come a long way though since then. I ended up with Kaspersky and loved it. Then I ended up with Norton again, and was extremely disappointed. I went back to Kaspersky and feel the safest, without a doubt! More user friendly and does things automatically for you. Love the safe banking protection as well coz it shows it on screen.
