A huge disappointment. Review on Kaspersky Antivirus

At first, the software would seem like a very competent antivirus(AV, from here on) software. It prompts you(depending on the security level that you've set), for each and every potentially malicious action that a program takes. Try launching MS Word, and you'll get half a dozen of prompts that ask you for your permission to allow it to access some kind of DLL, registry setting and what not.

You feel very much in control of your own computer and perhaps it would be very, very difficult for any virus to do anything untoward without making its presence known to you. Perhaps, the KasperSky website correctly and deservedly boasts of its highest detection rate. But, in an unfortunate even of an attack of a virus, which is when you need a help from your AV software the most, it fails miserably to remove the infection. I've had a terrible experience in this regard. Eventually, I had to download, install AVG(a free software), which removed the infections in a minute! Apart from its inability to disinfect, the software is resource hungry too, and will slow down your system till it crawls.

So much so that you wouldn't feel like keeping it active all the time, which is very essential to prevent an infection in the first place! All in all, it's a disappointing software. I'm ditching it and going for the free AVG.
