Kaspersky anti virus has pulled in ace Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar to promote the antivirus software brand Kaspersky. While I'm a big fan of Avast antivirus because it's free and it just works; Kaspersky looks promising. I've been reading independent reviews on the internet and found that several labs have rated the software highly. The 2012 version seems to have file rating feature which tells you the rating of the file. By the way, I do not have the software and therefore, can't write a review.

The software however is said to have performed very poorly in PCMag's performance benchmarking tests. Phishing protection seems to be quite weak for the new websites. Instead of relying on independent labs; why don't we ask our members to post their first-hand reviews of Kaspersky Anti Virus? Do not forget to mention the version in your feedback.
