Installation and Getting Started

Being in line with our expectations, Kaspersky Internet Security had a simple installation process. When we say simple, we are meaning that relatively. When compared to the time required by other internet security suites to install, Kaspersky Internet Security did the job very quick. In a few minutes, we were up and running with the security suite. Because we had used Kaspersky products before, we needed no introduction to UI. During the installation, you have to provide your preferences as well as other details such as license codes. Don’t worry here; it won’t take more than a few minutes.

User Interface

That having said, Kaspersky developers have done a great job in blending utility and minimal design. Even if you are using an antivirus program for the first time, you would deal with Kaspersky Internet Security simply. There is nothing really to learn about it. In terms of review, we will give 4.5/5.0 for intuitive User Interface of the security suite. For those who don’t know; Kaspersky Internet Security follows the modular structure. As opposed to the concept of bringing all elements into one page, you can check various modules according to your needs. In addition to the simplicity, we found the features quite accessible.

Impact on System Performance and Speed

There is one thing you should understand before moving on. Every antivirus program will reduce your system speed in one way or another. The only thing that varies is impact and intensity of the reduction. Also, you’ve to consider the amount of protection features that you receive. For instance, suppose you are looking for an online transaction protection system. Then, the security suite will have to be active during browsing sessions.

Considering these points, we’d say that Kaspersky Internet Security has just a reasonable impact on system performance and speed. That’s only when you have enabled all the top features of the program. So, we do believe, it’s somewhat okay.

Availability and Pricing

Kaspersky Internet Security is a multi-platform security suite and it’s available for PC, Mac and Android. It’s meaning that you can have the same, high-quality internet security features in your smartphone as well as computers. That having said, you always have an option to go for the single-device version of the same tool. However, we recommend going for the multi-device variant, due to two reasons. First, it’s not going to cost you much. Second and more importantly, you need internet security suite for Android devices as well. They are as vulnerable as PC and Mac.

Check Kaspersky Discount Deals

The 3-device plan of Kaspersky Internet Security is available for a price of just $54.99, thanks to some superb discount campaigns going on. As we said, you can save some money by compromising the number of devices that can be protected. At the same time, if you purchase the software for a longer period of time, you have a better chance of discount.
