| Small Kaspersky Question
Alright, so I am debating on which Kaspersky program I should get. Internet Security or Anti Virus. I am currently trying the trial version of the Internet security and it doesn't seem to have a difference between other anti virus progrmas that are out. It maybe even have more with the scanning what you do on the internet and what you download. So this is my question. What is the difference between the Internet Security and the Anti Virus from Kaspersky.
Please and Thanks
EDIT: Ok I just thought of this right after I posted question. Does the internet Security actually scan your computer and usb ports and remove the viruses/spyware or dose it only deal with the internet. Silly question you might say since the software is called Kaspersky Internet Security, but it seems that the trail version also scans my computer files.

I installed a trial of Internet Security with Windows 7, and it has a software firewall built into it. It works like ZoneAlarm.

Anti virus is just anti virus, internet security is Firewall and antivirus. That's the jist of it. I'm currently using Internet Security and Kaspersky detects every single thing. It's so great that it prevents photoshop and Quicktime (online trailer watching) from launching.  Basically it scans everything that is downloaded to your computer while surfing the web. opening web pages etc etc. EVERYTHING!!!
On a side note, you can install kaspersky software on three computers. Speaking of it, I think I need to get another copy of it as my key is about to expire.

I hope it doesn't stop my PS and Quicktime to not open and so far, it's doing its work. Stopped 3 Trojans from entering my computer already.

No problem! I just bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 today at Best Buy. It was on sale. I'll wait till my key expires then I'll install it Anyway, sometimes I have to pause/stop the "File Anti-Virus" for a second when loading Photoshop and watching Quicktime trailers online. Although it works fine when I launch quick time manually.

I just picked up the Kaspersky Anti Virus 2009 from London Drugs for 29.99.
There was no price tag on it, so he scanned it and said it was 69.99, so I said thanks see you later. Then he said "but in the last 60 days, the lowest it's been is 29.99 so I'll give it to you for that"
Had to pick it up.

It was on sale at Best Buy for 49.99 till yesterday. I believe it's back to 79.99 today. Try to check Computer shops, London drugs and other places for prices. They go on sale at FS/BB every few weeks, so keep an eye out for their fliers.
