The reviewers were particularly impressed with the flexibility of the program, "Every component is accessed via the Anti-Virus Control Centre, which can be password-protected and made to send e-mail alerts and quarantine files." The consistently high detection rates of Kaspersky products were also commended, "The software's ability to detect viruses and other nasties is excellent. Personal and Personal Pro versions scored top marks in our tests, matched only by F-Secure's software. In fact, F-Secure Anti-Virus Client Security contains software licensed by Kaspersky Labs."
