Pleasant Hill, CA – Kaspersky: Virus Protection Software & What to Know

When our computer is experiencing a lag or maybe has too many popups, we know it is time to look into security software. Maybe you are the type of person to plan ahead, and invest in the software prior to using a new computer. Either way, Kaspersky virus protection software is a common brand in this department. If you stay up with current events, you may wonder if Kaspersky is still a good choice for your computer’s security. We have some information to help you make an informed decision!

In the News

Recently, Kaspersky was in the news across the country. Not for their great protection software, but for their involvement in a huge information theft. NSA tools were taken from a contractor by hackers, and it is believed that the Russian owned Kaspersky software was used as a tool in the theft. The US government no longer uses the software after the robbery.

Still Viable

This does not mean that Kaspersky does not do its intended job for your personal computer. We have recommended and sold Kaspersky for many years. It is still a viable choice for virus protection; however, we now believe Malwarebytes is a better option for most computers. This more robust program offers better bang for the buck! For most customers, our current advice is to use Kaspersky until your subscription expires, since it still is a very good product, and then switch to Malwarebytes version 3.0. We sell and now recommend Malwarebytes over Kaspersky for many of our customers.

Why Virus Protection is Important

Computer viruses and malicious software (malware) come in many forms. They can slow down your computer to the point of loss of function, and they can allow information to be leaked or stolen. Whether your computer is used for work or to house family photos, a virus protection software is necessary. Kaspersky is one of many options, and our team can help you choose the right one for your needs. Give us a call today!
