Re: Does MS Anti-Virus scan while downloading?

Kaspersky (web-site) has got such pretty green colours, (probably 'cause it's owned or run by a Russian woman I think), so on that factor alone !!!!! (r.o.f.l. I just gotta laugh at me !) I downloaded and installed the free Kaspersky internet security version and it was COMPLETLEY unhappy in my machine / XP Home ed.. ...had to uninstall it.

Now I do keep my main PC luvly, it gets LOTS of TLC ...so I was disappointed when I tried KAspersky two or three months ago !

regards, Richard

Thanks,

Sorry for interrrupting .
Kaspersky is definitely ligher than McAfee , but NOD32 is lighter than both
. I suggest you also try it before considering any products . Don't forget to
uninstall all antiviruses before trying the new one , you should keep only
one AV .
