The overlaps are because the AV program is included in the IS suite.
"Connie" wrote in message ... Is AVG anti virus just as good as Kasperkey? I used AVG for years and was told it was not sufficient. Even reading the product descriptions on Kasperkey IS vs anti virus is confusing to me because there are lots of overlaps. "peter" wrote in message ... here is the website to compare http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/compare/ and they are both excellent products. If you just need an antivirus there are a lot of good products free Avast,Bitdefender, AVG, and even MS' own Security Essentials. For a Free Fire wall Commodo for FreeAntispy/malware Spybot or SpywareBlaster Malewarebytes Anti-Malware A google search will turn up the download sites any of those would serve you well if you keep them updated. peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it. If you dont know how to ignore a posting complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate :-) "Connie" wrote in message ... I currently have Kasperkey Internet Security for 3 users. It is about to expire. I'm wondering if I should purchase the 2010 version of it I should buy the Kasperkey Anti-virus instead. What is the difference and which one is better? |

I used to use AVG but I stopped using it when I bought Kasperkey IS. Are you saying I need both? No, no! One or the other. Do not run two at once. Doing so can cause problems. If you are willing to pay for a product, I recommend eSET NOD32. It's the best one available, in my view.
