I've been using KIS6 since May. KIS6 which is the full Internet
security product of which KAV6 is a subset. I can honestly say that I
have noticed no slow-down in my Pc since installing KIS6. I was
previously running Zonealarm Antivirus and I'd say that that product,
whilst not a resource hog (on my machine anyway) probably used more
resources than does Kaspersky, despite KIS's greater facilities. I also
think KIS6 (and in particular those parts of KIS which would be included
in KAV) is an excellent product well above the likes of Zonealarm,
Norton, Avast!, eTrust and AVG all of which I have used for significant
periods at some time or other. Of course it's not free but well worth
the money IMHO.
