My Mcafee virus scan expired so I had to go out and buy a new one. I was referred by two different sales people, they both recommended the Kaspersky internet security It was said to be the better compared to Norton and McAfee. Now that It is in my computer it is giving me problems with the sites that I used to be able to view. It blocks the site without asking me. What do I do? Does anybody know about this virus software?

I don't know anything about this type of internet security. I was AVG free.

I used Kaspersky for a long time until they started charging for it. I think it's probably one of the best you pay for. I never had a problem with it blocking any sites I tried going to, though. But there has to be something in there that lets you set your preferences, or your level of control. Since I haven't used it in awhile I don't know much about it. Wish you had asked before buying. There are several great anti-virus programs on the Internet for free. I use Avast, which I think is great. And, my husband uses AVG, another great one. And, then you can use another free program called Advanced Windows Care Personal. This lets you clean up your computer and you can run it daily, if you want. I run it probably once a week. You might try using a search engine to hunt for problems with Kaspersky. There has to be somebody out there with a solution.

Hi Barb, Thanks for your post. I heard about Avast but I did not know I can get it for free Advance Windows care- I got to check that out. I will actually be getting the Kaspersky for free after all the rebate. So now I don't need to pay for it.YIpee

And buddy believe me its the best stuff that you bought. I have used all the antivirus programs and have found Kaspersky the best among them.

HI Amrishkj, thanks for sharing your experience. It is probably the best as many people told me but somehow it is too difficult for me.

I hated kaspersky in stopped working completely after a while and I had 3 months to go I couldn't get it reinstalled and so i switched to AVG and ClamAV (as portable app). you can always do online scans too

Kaspersky is not a name brand or common virus protection program. your better off with McAfee, AVG which is free or Norton (memory hog).

Interesting. I agree Norton takes up a lot of memory space.

Hello. Spoiledbrat is right, NOD32 is a good anti-virus. It does not eat too much memory in your computer and silently works in the background. And it's the most efficient one i have used.

I think you can set it,I haven't use it ,but it is reaaly famous. I think you can set it to not block the websites you visited.You'd better read the instruction. If you still can't solve the problem,you can connect the company for a consultation.
