Coming in just behind ESET and ranking as my number two selection for best antivirus products is Kasperksy. They continue to test highly year after year for speed and performance and with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, the trends continue. With an impressive feature set and effective detection, Kaspersky definitely deserves the runner-up spot.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides everything you need for a safe PC without any addition software. Hourly updates and fast response times ensure you benefit from one of the industry's most up-to-date protection. This all-in-one security suite boasts a two-way personal firewall, impressive rootkit detection, instant messenger protection, parental controls and improved antispam. Just like ESET Smart Security, Internet Security 2009 is highly effective in catching malware such as viruses, trojans and worms. Though boot up times and file scanning were a tad bit slower than ESET, Kaspersky still outperformed its other competitors in speed and protection.
Preventative protection is a very important component to any antivirus software. Kaspersky maximizes protection by scanning your operating system and applications for vulnerabilities and dangerous lurking threats. This proactive monitoring also helps keep you safe while browsing the Internet by disabling links to phishing sites as well as other malware traps. This is a key ingredient featured in Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 because these days, data and identity theft is at an all time high. Kaspersky blocks all types of keyloggers and prevents theft of data exchanged by way of secure connections.
Not only does Kaspersky have strong security for your home and work computer, they now offer protection for netbooks and mobile devices. Kaspersky Security for Ultra Portables provides a secure mobile environment and maximizes the full potential of your netbook's system resources while giving you the web surfing power you deserve. Kaspersky Mobile Security on the other hand is anti-theft protection for your smartphone. While running on either Windows Mobile or Symbian powered mobile devices, Kaspersky blocks unwanted SMS and adware messages while keeping your smartphone free of malicious programs.
After experiencing the power and effectiveness of Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, I highly recommend this software for your computer. You will feel safe and secure while browsing the Internet and accessing personal data.
