Kaspersky Anti-virus has been a renowned antivirus software for years now. The company that develops the software is known as Kaspersky Labs.

Kaspersky Labs has been founded by professional Russian computer security experts and analysts in 1997.

The company has a reputation to often be the first to identify new viruses and to devise methods to combat them. Kaspersky Anti-virus has long been used in Russia and parts of Europe.

However, with its latest release of version 2009, it is believed that Kaspersky Anti-virus is now one of the most popular anti-virus software in the market, outperforming competing products of most of its US rivals such as Symantec and Trend Micro.

The most notable improvement of Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 can be found in its much simplified interface.

Although the interface is beginner friendly for the less tech savvy but more advanced users can easily configure and control the behaviors of the software, making it easy-to-use yet as powerful as ever.

Kaspersky Anti-virus is preferred over other anti-virus softwares in the market not only because of its effectiveness in detecting and removing malicious programs but also because it has one of the lowest false alarm incidences in the industry.

Besides, it is also able to detect highest number of viruses ever documented compared with other softwares. However, Kaspersky’s proactive/heuristic scan engines and adware/spyware detection still require much improvement.

Being feature rich distinguishes Kaspersky Anti-virus from other anti-virus softwares. Virus signature updates may be available from as short as 1 hour from the last update.

Currently Kaspersky Anti-virus 2009 is also well-equipped for high risk computers with broadband internet connection, providing real-time traffic monitoring and instant malicious codes detection.

Kaspersky Anti-virus is highly recommended because Kaspersky Labs has support staff who works round the clock and will provide customers with immediate attention and assistance.
