I am really confused about it:confused:, am a home user as told by cyberboy_kerala
like I am now using ZoneAlarm free, AVG Antivirus free, Spybot free editions
Do you think it is enough or should use paid ones like KAV, NOD32, ZoneAlarm Pro/Internet Security :?:

As for home use only

Yes :)

Personal thoughts, Kaspersky as Paid rocks... KAV is Rs. 750/- (we bought many together so little cheap) where as KIS is Rs. 1150/- :) (as I bought one for my self)

For home use free software is more than enough

I would have given +1 reputation for you guys for replying so quickly but the polling is still confusing as it is going head to head. I want more votes please as it will help me decide about keeping these securities or use a paid one
@choto, and what is the renewal money, and why didn't you told me while buying :just joking:D

I've been using Norton Systemworks & was more than satisfied with that. The only problem was the amount of load it gives to the system. One fine day I thought what the heck! may be I don't need it at all, so i uninstalled it. Now my system is running better than ever(breathing light) with no security threats...I know this because i occasionally go to Live Care! & get a scan of my computer online. And believe me i'm a heavy user of internet & spend a lotta time online. I do observe some precautions.
About your question, I would like to say that yes I do believe that paid s/w gives more protection. Now on what basis am i saying that? Well, firstly because of my own experience. It was heavy on the system ...fine...but never compromised on security... while i've seen some of my friends reformatting their hard-disks after being afflicted with virus which their free anti-virus wasn't able to catch...some had their systems freeze coz of conflicts. All these are local scenarios which might not hold true globally but then its my experience.
The paid s/w have a dedicated team always working towards its betterment & whatever the people say against them,they are the most popular. Popular doesn't always mean better but then there must be something for which so many people are falling & the company is getting bigger.

Actually, I am in Madurai, and I went to Madras to purchase new computer, and got it at that time... So, I cant ship there, but if you have some contacts/friends in Chennai, you can ask them... :)

@ChotoCheeta, I got it from a shop that has a web presence - Delta Peripherals at *www.deltapage.com/

EDIT: Though they havent put the KIS software on their website list, they do have it...
