Battle Kaspersky IS 2012 Vs F- Secure IS 2011

[darkelixa]

Putting the two together the key differences I can see are-

Kaspersky

-Frequent updates
-Behaviour Monitor, web scanner, quite firewall
-Highly Customisable
-50-100 mb ram usage
-Slow for first scan

F secure
-Uses Bitdefender Engine
-Deep guard is amazing hips with a silent firewall
-Very very fast scanning
-Lots of processes but about 60mb max
-Web Link scanner is amazing but only works in Firefox or Internet explorer

I have been a kaspersky fan for a long time but 2012 is bad.....

F-secure is the way to go....

F secure feels alot lighter than Kaspersky and even Norton

For almost 6 years have I been using Kaspersky from version 6.0 to its latest version Kaspersky Internet Security 2012. Though generally considered as a RAM eater while a full scan is performed, Kaspersky IS improving at its RAM usage starting from version 2010. As I see it, Kaspersky Internet Security 2012's nothing new other than the revamped interface and the additional Cloud Protection. Compared to the lasted version of Kaspersky, I prefer the previous version of Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. But given a chance, I would like to try F-Secure.

Kaspersky with modified and hardened settings can provide better protection in my opinion.
Talking from default settings I am going with F-Secure.

I'm going with Kaspersky since it works good when I used the 2012 Version. F-Secure also works excellent with Default Settings, It just comes down to personal preferences since both products performs good.

If the outright detection was the sole scoring criteria there aren't many products that can challenge the excellent protection of F-Secure.

They have managed to come out of mediocre obscurity and are showing BitDefender [for one] how much better [both performance and protection] their products could have been.

It is also amazing that they can achieve these results pretty much with "out-of-the-box" settings - there aren't that many tweaks to play with, the intelligent design and excellent usability prove F-Secure's philosophy - you can take almost full control and not give many options to the users, but you can be respectful and not overbearing at the same time. A proof that unobtrusive and powerful can coexist. But that's what my cerebral self says.

KIS 2012 surprised me in a lot of good ways, though. The performance issues seem to be a thing of the past [although in outright comparison it trails F-Secure], and the bonanza of options says a lot about the consideration and effort that was part of the design and development. Application Control is excellent, the online protection is very well thought out and comprehensive. With KIS I feel a lot more like I'm in the driver's seat, unlike F-Secure where the feeling is I'm along for the ride. And I respect that KIS gives me the ability to make my own luck.

The clinical encapsulated efficiency of F-Secure or the painstaking thoroughness of KIS?

The heart takes a back seat in this tough comparison - F-Secure gets my vote.

f-secure has great detection rate.
i vote for f-secure.

I would vote for KIS 2012 because of it's many tweaking possibilites and features.The main downside for this product would be the resource usage (CPU Usage).
F-Secure 2011 is a great and very user friendly product,very suited for security newbies.What I would really love to see in F-Secure would be a greater visibility for their Deep guard which at this point it's hidden deep down into the settings.
