I've been running Kaspersky for a while now and I'm very happy with it. Its realtime protection is pretty good and it doesn't slow the machine much at all.

When I first installed it , I noticed a slight slow down. i keep my machine pretty good so normally its blink blink blink on the internet. I'd say the Kasperky added a couple of seconds or so to internet access. I then used it a while and double checked periodically with Dr Web to see how the Kas was doing. No files found that Kaspersky hadn't already gotten. i also booted to and ran the K rescue disk and then the same with the boot to the Dr Web rescue disk. Only one file was found by K and it was not on the C drive. The second scan by Dr Web found nothing.

So anyway , I did a big sweep of the system manually. Deleted everything i didn't need including a bunch of Temp files (Temp internet fles are deleted automatically but not the other Temp files) , etc. After the thorough cleaning , the system ran as fast as it did before the Kas install but with the Kas running. I use the whole Security suite including realtime and firewall , etc. I'm very happy and the $59 minus the $59 rebate price was right!

I hear people saying its not what it used to be but it appears to be 100% effective on my machine for about 2 months now.
