MOSCOW (GaeaTimes.com)- There was a time the PC users had very little choice in selecting their system security suites and the applications often slowed down their machines to a large extent. However, with the advancement of technology, they have got many choices nowadays. The users who are looking for a hassle free and power packed system security suite, can opt for the Kaspersky Internet Security or Antivirus 2010. The 2010 version boasts many improvements over the previous versions. Recently, Kaspersky Antivirus passed the stringent Austrian lab AV-Comparatives test with flying colors beating many rival anti virus softwares. It was able to detect a majority of the most harmful malwares and Trojans with old virus database, which own it some brownie points.
The Kaspersky antivirus 2010 not only detected the majority of viruses in the test but it also generated the least amount of false positives. The new version has got some nifty additions like a virtual keyboard which thwarts the keyloggers and hidden malwares from stealing sensitive data of the users. Another benefit of using this software is that it consumes less CPU resource which makes things easier for the users of slower and old PCs. Apart from the commercial product, Kaspersky labs also offers a free virus removal application.
Those who have not tried Kaspersky antivirus 2010 can test the free application. If they are satisfied with its performance they can go for the commercial version. The interface of the tool is user friendly and it uses less footprint on a PC. However, the free version is not a replacement of a full fledged antivirus.
