Kaspersky Anti Virus? Internet security?

KrizQoo · 12-01-2007, 01:27 PM

So I have Kaspersky Anti Virus 7.0.0.125.
I've come across with Kaspersky Internet Security and read the description.
It seems that KIS includes KAV but it has more functions, protections.

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to replace my KAV with KIS?

Thanks a lot for any kind of input.

I would do it!
KIS is better than KAV since it has a firewall and email security stuff for email apps.
the XP firewall doesnt work good!

I'd agree with Alexandergre , KIS is good and its firewall rules has a strict policy

Ahh I see, ok then guess I'll change to KIS asap, thanks for telling.

Got another question.
I currently have KAV and I want to install KIS, do I have to uninstall KAV first?
or could I install KIS directly?

I am not sure but I would want to uninstall KAV first just to be safe... Although If you do install KIS without uninstalling KAV it might transfer over any settings you already have set in KAV. As a side note... I am currently using KIS and find it to be an alright program. I like the fact that it warns you when .exe files have been changed. For example whenever I update Firefox it will tell me that firefox.exe has been changed and it will ask me if I want to allow firefox.exe to run.
