But again Kaspersky - For Mac no medium

After I had made no positive experience some time ago with Kaspersky for Windows because it has my computer slowed down completely and could be remove to make matters worse, even with specialized software from Kaspersky with great effort again, I suppose now under the product tester program opportunity, with this version "Total Security" to chance. This time on an Intel MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8. It should be noted that it must be mandatory for the Intel-based platform. Older Macs therefore out of the question. The license is valid for 3 devices - conceptualized obvious to a computer, a mobile phone and a tablet. Here, however, only supports Android, iOS not.

Also important - and I always find a bit annoying - for Mac no disk is again settled, or on the enclosed medium no Darren for Mac are available. Mauser need the disc so do not bother to unpack. The data (about 300 MB) must be downloaded from the Kaspersky site.

The download took 11 minutes with my rather slow connection that actually Installation 5. The user is well guided through the installation, but with me the launch window has the actual installation menu completely obscured. It took him a moment to have come out. After the installation is equal to determined that no license was still used. You can then purchase one or enter the existing key from the inside of the package. This is extremely easy to read.

After that is done on. there is no advertising, an annoying registration is not necessary. After some time, the software determines that the signatures are obsolete and prompts the user to start the update process. This goes very quickly.

The menu is accessed via an icon in the menu bar. To configure it is not much, but all the settings can be found quickly. For finer settings but the user requires deeper knowledge. Everything else makes the software alone. Performance degradation I could not tell. The software has not found anything yet.

Conclusion: Very round installation with no frills, Advertising and registration, very simple, refined interface. Unfortunately no media for Mac. This leads to the one star trigger. For a 3 device license reasonable price.
