KASPERSKY FOR MAC REVIEW 2015 SOFTWARE

The product is light and works well it is a pity that it shows incompatibilities with a number of hardware and software components. Independent AV labs certify Kaspersky very highly on-hand malware tests done by a variety of enthusiasts (look at YouTube) do not seem to agree completely. It has a strong firewall that offers an 80% protection according to the rigorous Matousec leak tests (in comparison, Bitdefender gets 19%, Norton 9%, Webroot 23%, etc.). In terms of detection rates, the program is solid in terms of zero-day protection, unfortunately it isn't as good. The solution is to tweak Mozilla to accept Kaspersky's certificate, and even that solution still will leave banking sites inaccessible, unless you open them through another browser.

If you are using an HP Pavilion notebook, Mozilla Firefox, and Windows 8 or 8.1, the chances are that 1) the Kaspersky protected browser will not fully work due to incompatibilities with the HP hardware (and hence you won't be able to do online banking with a full protection), and 2) Mozilla Firefox currently has a conflict with the Kaspersky security certificates and is likely to block every secure connection ('https') that you open, including sites like Amazon, Google, etc. Kaspersky has been consistently among the most appreciated AV products for the past 4-5 years this edition, though, has some issues with Windows 8 and 8.1 that do not allow the customer to experience its protection fully, or without some tweaks.

Would I recommend this to a friend? Not blindly, but I would certainly discuss the issues with a friend and let them decide for themselves. If this was a new system, or if I had not been getting reports from Norton before the switch, my opinion may be much different. It may not be the most fair but the whole process has left me with a certain low level anxiety. I am concerned about a lack of feedback to me as the user. This is why I am giving 4 stars rather than 5. I don't know if the virus is still there, contained or not. I don't know if Kaspersky found and corrected the issue once it was installed and simply never told me. I don't know if the system reinstall removed and replaced the infected file. Bad news is, I don't really know what happened to it. Good news is, since the switch I have never seen a notice about this virus again.

So when the yearly resubscibe time came around I chose to switch in hopes Kaspersky would remove the problem rather than simply containing it over and over again.

If it was such a high risk virus, I really wanted to see it removed.

My decision to switch was prompted by my seeing notice of a high risk virus present at every boot along with claims of it being blocked and isolated, but never removed. Given what happened, which necessitated a reinstallation of the operating system, I would seriously need to reconsider if the switch is worthwhile. I can't really blame this on Kaspersky, though, because the troubles took place before installing that software, during the uninstalling of Norton process. I am torn because the switch from McAfee to Norton went off without a hitch but the move to Kaspersky was a bit of a nightmare. I have, over the years, gone through a couple of different antivirus/security programs.
