FYI Kaspersky is pretty closely affiliated with Russian Defense, Intelligence, and Security services.
We(all family) use Avast ,free and very good ,keeps our computers clean with no caffeine
I have gotten burned by so many rebates that don’t pay up (especially the deceased Comp*USA, but even products like Snapple) that I will not consider a promised rebate in my purchase of products.
“It’s the best anti-virus” Compared to what ?
Don’t. Eugene is pushing for internet users to have to have a government internet license. Don’t gimme the “great product” cr*p.
There’s TWO products out there acceptable for conservatives:
Avast and Malwarebytes.
The others are jihadis, farlefties or even computer criminals.

I’ve used Kaspersky a couple years now and have been real happy with it. It works and doesn’t slow me down like Norton, which doesn’t work.
That said, I also use Malwarebytes to keep stuff out that slips by Kasperski.
I’ve been using Microsoft’s Security Essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/security-essentials-download for years without a problem. And it’s free.
I finally got tired of all the comparison shopping and opted to use Windows Defender AV/Firewall. Haven’t had any problems in over a year, but I also practice “safe inter....netting”.
Hard to beat FREE if it works...Thanks for the tip, and I’ll look into it...
I’ve been using IObit’s Advanced Systemcare 6.0 for some time now and have been very pleased...
Started with the free version, which I liked so much upgraded to PRO...Inexpensive for all you get and how well it works...
I just manually run it every couple of days, takes a couple of minutes and cleans out everything...Never have noticed it interferes with anything or slows down my computer...
On the contrary, my PC is healthier now than ever before...
Check out the free download version at CNET.com...I don’t think you’ll be disappointed...
Why do you suppose it’s free? Maybe no one is buying it since Microsoft’s Security Essentials/Windows defender has always been free. (And is better.)
Use linux of mac os.
I got a free copy of Norton 360 to try out and not only did it make my system agonizingly slow, it also wiped out critical files for Windows XP such that my backup files were inaccessible. I had to completely reinstall the operating system from the original installation disk and reinstall all of my drivers. Then restore from my data backups. It took 6 hours to put everything back. Good thing I tried it first on a non-critical system.
Macfee is bloatware. When I tried it a number of years ago it copied hidden files to every single folder on my system. It was also incompatible with programming software because it kept tagging my new exes as viruses. Removing it was a pain because it left behind so many garbage files.
I’ve had the best luck with Trend Micro. It probably is not as good as it used to be several years ago, but at least it doesn’t slow down the system or destroy my files.
I’ve never tried Kapersky, but I’ve never heard anything particularly bad about it. I may try it.
