[QUOTE="Xeno1234, post: 1058719, member: 101350"] [B]Kaspersky[/B] is a Russian anti-virus founded in 1997 - and its still holding up well till this today. With top tier malware protection in all departments (including java and script malware), along with a light performance impact, I fully recommend this for all users - both advanced and beginner. [B]Protection:[/B] Kaspersky offer's (probably) the best protection of all of the home anti-viruses. Although protection isnt everything, its a important part in making your decision, and Kaspersky does it really, really well. In terms of modules, Kaspersky offer's the following: [B]1: File Anti-Virus (Signature, Heuristic, ML, and Local Emulation based Scanning Engine) 2: Safe Browsing (Anti-Phishing and Malicious Website Blocker) 3: Host Intrusion Prevention System/Application Control (A highly customizable hardening tool allowing for modification of application rights based on reputation, also blocks anything blacklisted in the cloud from running) 4: System Watcher (A Deep ML/Signature Based Behavior Blocker - extremely, extremely effective) 5: Firewall (Blocks malicious connections. Highly Customizable) 6: Network Attack Blocker (Blocks Malicious Network Attacks) 7: Kaspersky Security Network (A Cloud-Based detection system where anything found malicious by detection components is uploaded to the cloud and blacklisted. Also contains reputation of applications and also improves detection of other components) I would also like to mention Kaspersky offers a Memory Scanner in its home product line.[/B] As you can see, Kaspersky offer's deep Multi-Layered protection. The chance of things bypassing it is low - and I've barely seen it happen. [B]Performance:[/B] The Performance of Kaspersky is good, but not perfect. Kaspersky on average uses 1% of my CPU, spiking up a bit more when scanning and when applications open. Its light, but not the lightest of the Anti-Viruses. [B]Customizability:[/B] Highly customizable. You can change many things in the settings related to components. For example, File Anti-Virus lets you choose Heuristic Deepness, what's scanned, etc. Also, components like HIPS/Application Control and Firewall have even more customization - providing per application rules, and with Application Control, you can create a default deny setup and place things into groups depending on reputation. [B]Other Features:[/B] Kaspersky, besides of protection modules, offers a few other features. [B]1: Safe Pay (Protected Browser whenever you are performing transactions on the browser) 2: Anti-Banner (Ad Blocker) 3: Private Browsing (Block's Trackers) 4: Privacy Cleaner (Cleans traces of activity) 5: Secret Vault (Keeps important documents and information safe by encrypting it)[/B] It also offers a bit of performance features, such as application start up configuration. [B]Password Manager and VPN:[/B] Kaspersky Password Manager and VPN are both good. The VPN actually has high speeds - comparable to mainstream VPN's. The Password Manager is also very good, with a password generator, and is easy to use. Also, its not targeted by Info Stealer Malware :D [B]Overall Verdict:[/B] Kaspersky is great - its really good.
