Mindblower,

Give it a shot. It's from Kaspersky, so it will provide reliable protection. It is basically Kaspersky AV with some additional features like parental control (already in Win 7), password management, and central management for multiple computers.

[quote:qaoyux9u]With the launch of Kaspersky PURE, Kaspersky Lab has introduced a new class of products that provide a secure and productive digital environment, whatever you use your computer for. Kaspersky PURE combines complete protection against all types of web-borne threats with new, advanced features including extended parental control features, data backup and encryption tools, a password management program and the ability to manage your entire home network or fine tune the security settings of your web browser and operating system from any computer on the network.

Always got to take into consideration the resources some these apps use too. Seems to me, the more components or areas of protection these apps offer the more resources they use (which seems quite logical).

I had first hand experience of that with Trend Micro Pc-Cillin. Got 12 months free subs with a new computer (running XP) and renewed for second year. Discovered the software had expanded to the stage where my poor old 512MB RAM couldn't handle the pressure. Installed extra 512MB RAM which certainly helped but did not get back my original slick machine. So, uninstalled Trend Micro, installed free Avast and....there ya go, back to normal!!

I guess in these days of mega RAM that might not be quite so much of a consideration.

Cheers.....Jim
