i was going to buy kaspersky antivirus 6, but just wanted to know if i
should. i currently use avast as my main anti virus and avg with real
time deactivated, just for on-demand scanning.

is this enough?

does kaspersky slow down your pc like norton?

does the http traffic scanning of kaspersky slow down your internet
speed?

thanks for ur help

Look at the recent thread here on Free AV from AOL. The AVS product
is a reduced-feature KAV 6.

KAV 6 isn't bad in that regard, providing your machine isn't
antiquated. Kaspersky have taken measures to speed up
their v 6 scanners.

It shouldn't. The AVS product doesn't have that module, BTW.

>thanks for ur help

Hope that helps.

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.

What you "need" is up to you. If you want a top notch product
choose Kaspersky or a product which uses the KAV scan engine.
