Poor tech support

"I already have Kaspersky s/w that came bundled with a new computer I bought online some months ago.. I have 184 days remaining on that s/w.
I wrote Kaspersky a letter explaining that I loved their s/w and wanted to know if I bought thisonline purchase and did not activate it until my 184 days are complete would Kaspersky honor that beginning date for the new s/w.
I bought it and asked for an answer from Kaspersky via email but have never heard a word from them.
I'm wondering if my small investment is a waste.
Jim"

Regretful Purchase

Model Number: Kaaspersky Internet Security 2012
"I purchased virus protection "KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY 2012" through online. But this messed up my computer. Now my computer is not working at all. May be I didn't install properly but there is no place to contact. There is no phone number I can call to ask. Now I have to take my computer to a shop to repair and I don't know how much it will cost. I am so upset!!!"

Does it's job

Pros: easy to install, doesn't slow system, easy to use
"I previously was using Norton Internet Security but it seemed to always slow down my system when booting and when it was running scans. Since installing Kaspersky I haven’t seen any of these issues. Also when Kaspersky did it’s first system scan it found some items that Norton had not."

CPU Hog

"Installed fine, ran fine until a week later there was an update. Since then it's been a CPU hog, sometimes taking up to 100% of CPU and halting everything else. Search for help on Kaspersky's forums yielded no help."

Great Product

Pros: no performance issues, regular automatic updates
Cons: only 1 year license
"So far, I am happy with this product and did not have any issues. Prior to use Kaspersky, I installed Zonealert on one of my laptops and had nothing but issues and the sofware did Hijack my machine and I could only remove it with Administrator rights & updating the registry manually. Stay away from Zonealert and try Kaspersky."
