If you can lay your hands on Kaspersky for Windows Workstations, go right ahead. Been using it since 2009, never failed me. Most recent is Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 for Windows. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

I wouldn't know that. That Kaspersky for Windows Workstations is multi-user, often being used for as many as 50-70 computers e.g. in an office complex. It can also be deployed at the server level. Back when I began using it, everybody discouraged me from using it for reasons that were really not technical at all. All those who didn't want it have had to format their machines at one time or another after falling prey to viruses and all sorts of malicious programs.

Go for Norton or ESET antiviruses. They are super-powerful and they work on the background, you never even notice they are there. Kaspersky is deemed to be the best but can slow your PC to stone-age.JOIN MY FREE MINI-COURSE FOR WRITERS. CLICK HERE

Kaspersky is deemed to be the best but can slow your PC to stone-age.  ESET. Fast. Unobtrusive. Unless your PC has about 4 to 8GB of RAM installed and disks which are part-flash, you will have speed problems with Kaspersky, just as advised above.

If you use the internet to transact bussiness, then you need a paid up product. Allow me to add a nother free antivirus product with exellent detection and removal rates. 1). Adaware antivirus 2). Bitdeffender free antivirus 3). Panda cloud antivirus free

I have used Norton, Kaspersky, AVG and Eset. AVG wins hands down. Compared to Norton and Kaspersky, it was lighter for the computer. Kaspersky was the worst, it really slowed down PC's and it really never cleared threats. Go for AVG free edition

Go for AVG free edition Because its lighter for your computer doesnt mean that its the best...Did you try to upgrade you computer to Core i5? The fact that your computer has been slowed down means that the antivirus is running many security modules and checks in the background thus increasing your safety. I dont know which Kaspersky you were using that didnt clear any threats but kaspersky is one of the best antivirus in the market If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
