Advantages: everything you need, easy to use, effective security

Disadvantages: none

Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 is a internet security suite made by Kaspersky Lab. You may have heard of Kaspersky Anti-Virus and the Internet Security is basically a bundle of many different security apps Kaspersky provide.

Kaspersky Internet Security includes Kaspersky's Anti-Virus, Firewall, Parental Controls and a few more less important features. The Anti-Virus can scan parts of your PC as you request and it can also run in the background checking vulnerable places as you work. The firewall sits in the background and prevents people from hacking into your computer over the internet. Parental Controls are fairly self explanatory.

The interface of the software is easy to use and allows you to adjust settings on all the different security modules. You can easily disable/enable the protection and tailor it to suit your needs. There is not really any need for instructions as everything is labelled and easy to follow. You can find the options you want in no time. The software automatically updates itself with the latest Virus databases when necessary.

The functionality of the software is inline with many other security programs and is even better in some cases. I am yet to have a virus that has not been found and fixed by this software. I used to use AVG and when I switched to this it found some virus that AVG ignored. The parental controls work as you would expect and the firewall appears to be doing a good job. It is a little tricky to get you home network to work with the firewall but once you know how you feel foolish for being stuck before.

In conclusions Kaspersky Internet Security is a great security suite. I love how everything you need is integrated in the same package.

Summary: A good security suite.
