It is safe. We have run a virus check which shows clear and google says we are clean too.

Dont get kas, get Norton or NOD32, because kas does to much showing off and slows ur computer down.

Actually, no. From my experience, Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 is just amazing in removing viruses automatically while not disturbing your gaming (I'm a semi-pro gamer). It's also takes way less RAM than Norton ( I have Norton on my other PC ). You can choose an autoaction and turn off the notifications, the dude 321.

Oh well, its just my opinion.

you probably have a very big serving of rootkits, keyloggers, and trojans on your computer...  ;D

get a REAL antivirus. forget about Kaspersky, AVG, McAfee, Avira, NOD32, or Norton. (actually NOD32 isnt that bad...)

their detection rates SUCK big time. i would know.  ;)

get a real antivirus. get avast! home edition, 100% free. only free AV with boot time scan.. and trust me... you NEED boot time scanning...
 ;D

personal experience. kaspersky requires updates which you pay for.. not my cup of tea. i like legal stuff. i cant imagine someone using a pirated AV... the possibilities are endless..  :o

yeah... hmm... what else.. idk... avast! is ftw. trust me..  ;) ;D
