Just like the McAfee Security Center another anti-virus software which has been creating huge waves in terms of performance is the Kaspersky Antivirus software. It is the most light and heavy, in terms of fighting viruses, software that is available in the market. Although a bit costly than any other software, it is worth its money. It offers complete protection for your PC from all sorts of viruses and malware. Similar to McAfee Security Center, this also has three different options to protect your PC. One is the file antivirus which is nothing but the regular antivirus option to scan and identify and destroy any viruses found on your PC. The second option is the web antivirus, which is nothing but protecting your PC from direct web based virus attacks.
Finally the last one is the Proactive Defense which actually monitors the activities of various applications that you run or that runs from behind to find whether any suspicious activities takes place or not.
The updates are pretty quick to use and you can download a particular virus database within minutes. But its scanning speed is not worthy to mention here, as it takes nearly 30 to 45 minutes to get your whole computer scanned and this is the only drawback of this otherwise excellent antivirus program.
