Battle Emsisoft Internet Security 9 vs Kaspersky Internet Security 2014

[Tony Cole]

The title says it all - which one is better and why?

I'm currently using Emsisoft Internet Security 9 beta and I really like it; not too sure how secure the firewall is etc.,

My vote goes for Emsisoft Internet Security, but you can choose based on my observations:
Emsisoft is quite stable and uses dual-core scanning, which the other scanner is Bitdefender's. Kaspersky offers a slew of features, like Safe Money and Parental Controls, while Emsisoft IS is basically just Anti-Malware and Online Armor slapped together at a discounted price. My biggest buga with Kaspersky are that it:
-Starts very late (30 minutes after startup)
-Application Takes Long To Load (20 Minutes More)
-UI depends on back button and it freezes all the time

KIS!
Chromatinfish, I have a low-end laptop. I used KIS on it before. But I haven't noticed those problems. Yes, KIS does takes time to load at startup, but for me, it's just around 1-3 mins. I experience no freeze in UI except the bug on the application control which, I believe, was fixed.

I really like both. I have 2 notebook, the oldest I use Emsisoft 8. Believe that kaspersky has a base of most users, and a structure and superior logistics. Both offer you great protection. What prevents me from using kaspersky is its gigantic boot time as you Chroma yourself mentioned, I agree with you bother much ... One of the reasons that other Emsisoft use this notebook is. On my other laptop newest eset use.

KIS is the new Norton 2009, bloated & heavy. EIS win all the way

 

[Tony Cole]

Both KIS and EIS are very good my vote goes to EIS cuz KIS is heavier.

But this is 2014

exactly what i said, you never tried NIS 2009 , right?

 

[Rahadian Putra]

I agree with Umbra, I voted for Emsisoft, KIS is also good but heavy on some machines..on a killer machine, you can't noticed about it, also yes...NIS 2009 is heavy, even heavier than kaspersky, however Norton 360 is light though, they made a good improvement

EIS!

but reduced the detection rate, My recommendation: EIS

Please try this tutorial:

Un-checking "Concede resources to operating system when the computer starts" will normally speed up the process when the application starts. If not, it will take a while as the main interface has to load after you are logged in.

I said it was heavy I had already checked and un checked but still EIS is lighter.
I had similar problem with beta 2015 that didnt work

EIS is now very stable and light on the system...

 

[Tony Cole]

Emsisoft is a lot lighter on system performance, and I am really liking version 9

 

[omidomi]

Emsisoft a bit better than KIs

 

[Tony Cole]

Thanks omidomi

 

[omidomi]

KIS is very heavy and expensive
