Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 scored well in CNET Labs' performance tests and in third-party, independent antivirus testing using live viruses, although not always the top position. Unlike Norton, Kaspersky can, by default, scan only recently changed files, greatly shortening the overall scan time considerably. Like Norton, Kaspersky can also throttle back on system resources, depending on user activity.
And, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 includes a process so that the operating system can revert back to a time just before an infection. Kaspersky still provides users with the process of creating a rescue disk, something that many antivirus products no longer offer. Still, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 provides the most complete antivirus production on the market today and deserves our Editors' Choice for best antivirus product for 2008. The only real negative here is the list price, which can be $10 to $20 more than the competition, depending where you purchase it. Once again, Kaspersky requires considerably less disk space than Norton. That said, there is no firewall protection within Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2008, leaving you to choose your own firewall protection. Kaspersky also makes an Internet security suite, yet Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 feels complete as a standalone product and not, like Norton Antivirus 2008, a cog in larger family of products. No firewall, no gimmicks, just straight AV protection. What makes Kaspersky Anti-Virus continue to outshine its competition is its ease of use combined with thorough antivirus protection. For example, BitDefender Antivirus 2008 is perhaps the most improved product of the year, nipping at the heals of Kaspersky. But, unlike last year, the competition for Editors' Choice in this space was fierce with several worthy contenders all bunching toward the top of the scale. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 features a new interface and new protection. Last year's CNET Editors' Choice award winner Kaspersky returns with another winner.
