Pwince Khan asks:
I’m using Kaspersky antivirus with 3 months trial. Just wondering if the protection it’s giving to my computer is less or same to the premium Kaspersky antivirus. Thanks!

October 14, 2012With Kaspersky (great choice btw) your not losing any features. Your as protected as your gonna get.
as a followup..
Basically antivirus runs in 2 modes..background mode and on demand mode.
Background is what you end up paying for..the antivirus runs in the background protecting you while your pc is running. After the trial expiration it wont run in the background and you’ll have to manually launch the antivirus and have it scan your pc. As another poster mention, it wont auto update the virus definition files either. So you would be vulnerable to new threats when you dont have the latest signatures/definition files.
Top 3 antivirus programs are in my opinion
Kaspersky
Eset Nod32
Fsecure
Coupled with a good Malware program you’ll be well protected.
DO NOT RUN multiple Antivirus programs at the same time.
Stay away from Symantec, Norton, McAfee. They are all bloated ineffective machine slowing crapola
No antivirus can protect you from a stupid user.
October 15, 2012Thanks for the info!! i sitll have 52 days left for the trial version to end..and my pc is smooth
October 15, 2012Who says Norton is bloated software?
I am using Norton Internet Security since 2010 and it is the best antivirus I have ever used.
My Windows XP PC has not been affected by any virus in these 3 years because of Norton. And it DOES NOT SLOW DOWN YOUR PC.
Thanks

October 14, 2012Trial versions are normally full versions until the timer runs out. I checked the website to confirm and nothing stated the full features weren’t available during trial… Someone else might know more, I don’t use kaspersky.
i dont use kaspersky too…but got 3 months trial and also dont want to buy antivirus…giveaways make my year go nicely
October 15, 2012i usually use avast free version. and comodo firewall

October 14, 2012The protection of Trail version are same ass of Premium version. The only difference is that it will stop getting virus signature updates from its server after the 3 month trial. And after the trail it surly will protect your computer – but protection can only be provided for outdated viruses.
Thanks !

October 14, 2012some trial versions do not offer all the features of shareware version but read here
http://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/free-home-trials/anti-virus
For a free trial version, enter your email address and we’ll send you a download that will expire 30 days after you install it. When you’re ready to purchase a full license, just click the Buy Now link in the product and purchase a license in our online Store.
thanks for the link

October 14, 2012Sometimes with antivirus the trial version may not protect against everything (e.g. Boot sector viruses) and registering will give full functionality. With some software registering also activates extra functions such as a spam filter or other anti malware. You are probably better off going to kaspersky’s website and checking exactly what they say the benefits of purchasing and registering the full version are.
yeah thanks.

October 15, 2012Free version antivirus versus paid version would have protection differences, but usually not worth the money to get the full version. But free trial versus buying a license is much different. They want you to experience the full package so you can choose whether to purchase or not. Once the trial ends, usually it will still scan, but it will not clean any infections until you pay for a license or subscription.
I’d never consider an AV that didn’t disinfect for the reasons you mentioned after the trial expired. Bad ethics product in my mind as it will lead to infecting others.
October 15, 2012i never want to purchase
all i wait for is giveaway from diffrent different websites 
but still have 52 days left for my trial version and my pc is working fine..

October 15, 2012it is the services and support which they provide to premium version , that makes all the difference , but some like AVG and Avasta etc free version are good .

October 15, 2012When using trial you actually use it to make sure you’ll get what you pay for

October 15, 2012When using the premium your actually sure of what you’re getting your PC into

October 15, 2012you’ll be having the antivirus working until the expiration date, but after that date, you’ll be vulnerable to threats, virus guards ( some of them ) tend to shutoff some features. as well as you won’t receive any updates too.

October 18, 2012there is no deference in protection. But in the trail version it always reminds you it is a trail version and purchase the full version. When the trail completes you may purchase it or not but it can’t renew the trail license.
