Sounds like its a lot lighter than the 2010 version.


What about the "false positive" aspect ?

Any news to report there?

KIS 2011 certainly looks good but when I upgraded a family members computer I had problems updating the definitions so had to revert back to KIS 2010 which updates no problem :confused:

sometimes KIS does that.. it happened to me atleast three times during the last 2 years. all i had to do is to update again. it might say databases are corrupted but you update again :D. i remember one time that i let it sit for atleast a day then ran the update again.

I really like Kaspersky, but I just can't bring myself to pay for a new subscription every year, especially when there are really good free AVs out there.
