  Strengths: Very good protection, quick scanning, low use of system resources.

  Weaknesses: Expensive, $59.95 (download or CD)in 2008. Does not work with Zone Alarm

  Overall Evaluation: I downloaded the trial version. When I started the install, a window said I had to uninstall my copy of Zone Alarm Internet Suite. I decided to try it on my WindowsXP pc anyway. I found the suite to be somewhat of a resource hog and not be very user friendly. When I built my Vista machine, I decided to try just the antivirus product. During the install it I got the same request to uninstall my copy of Zone Alarm Internet Suite. What's up with that? Instead of working with ZA, they would rather have you purchase their firewall product or suite. Did anybody else have other problems with software compatibility? I don't like being forced to use certain software and I have never had this problem with any other software product I've used. How come no one at PC World noticed this problem?

  Strengths: So far it has worked great on my system. I'll update this review after using the product awhile longer.

  Weaknesses: Training the firewall will make most people turn the product off.

  Overall Evaluation: If you want your computer secure Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 is a great product. But I wouldn't install it on any friends or family computers it just asks too much from the non technical user. The training mode for the firewall really can get tireing. Otherwise a great product.
