This new version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus was very solid and effective at the actual detection of various spywares and viruses.  I infected my PC by systematically going to various websites I knew would infect my computer.  I made sure to take a note on which sites and what order I visited them, as to duplicate this at a latter time when reviewing other virus softwares of course, for example for Norton or AVG. Immediately upon trying to install this latest virus program, I ran into trouble as I was getting a message on my screen telling me Kaspersky was interfering with another virus program on my computer.  I didn't have another virus program installed, so it was probably reading old registry values that were not effecting Kaspersky at all.  Probably a false alarm.  Another problem was hot it wanted me to enter the product key in which Kapserksy emailed to me.  It would not let me copy/paste it in, I had to do the very long key by hand, which of course I screwed up a few times, this was very annoying. The next topic in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 Review will be about how well it did in scan time and removing of spyware and malware.  I was very happy with the scan time of the full scan methods and also the quick scan methods, both were fast by my standards.  However I was displeased with the actual results that were not displayed to me.
