Software : Kaspersky Anti Virus 7 (1 User Edition) (PC)

Rating: - BEWARE - USE A TRIAL VERSION BEFORE BUYING.
I have used Kaspersky Internet Security V 6.0 for 18 months and have had no problems. Tried to renew my licence but Kaspersky will not renew V 6.0 and you have to upgrade to Internet Security V 7.0.

Being cautious (from a previous similar incident a couple of years ago with another AV provider) I downloaded a trial version of Kaspersky Anti Virus V 7.0 first. The problem is that it now seems to work by totally preventing you from accessing the web or your emails!!! Very effective but not much use and I can do equally as well by simply not logging on.

For example, whilst it will open a website - BBC for instance - if you try to open one of the sub menus - TV- the whole thing hangs. Tried to open Hotmail Live from Messenger and it just keeps on trying to connect. This happens on other websites I have tried - even Kaspersky's and there as is no support for trial versions so you cannot resolve it

I have not tried it with their Internet Security V 7.0 but as the programme is basically the same I presume the same problem exists.

Unfortunately I now have to look for an alternative solution - so Kaspersky have now lost a [once] happy customer.
