Fantastic AV Product, September 19, 2011

Antivirus can be a controversial subject. If you question 20 different computer entusiasts or IT professionals what the best AV product is, you will not only get 20 different answers, but nearly as many mad shouts about how horrible everybody else’s picks were. Similarly, and only to make matters worse, if you do your research and read the “10 best antivirus harvest of 2011″ articles then you will see that the rankings change all the time. Each year it seems some “who-the-heck-is-that” antivirus product makes it on to the number 1 or 2 spot for the foremost roundups. More frustrating is the fact that from site to site and review to review, the conclusions can be schizophrenic–with one site’s number 1 pick life the other site’s worst of the crop. From my own experience, I will tell you that no antivirus is a silver bullet, they all will catch some malware that others miss, and vice versa. Beware of fanboys and beware too of haters. But most of all, beware of anyone who gives you their opinion based on a “report”, be it sad or pleased. The 1 star reviews mad because they got a rootkit and the glowing reviews saying they’ve been happily using Antivirus 2010 since forever and have never had a problem.

There’s your qualification and sobriety check. Now, here’s my measured opinion. I’m a long time Norton user that initially came across Kaspersky a few years back when Norton harvest were getting worse each year. Norton saved themselves with a fabulous 2010 release (and a 2011 to rival it), but Kaspersky who was once a dark horse antivirus no one had heard of has wedged around and made a name for itself. It’s a excellent product and I don’t hesitate to recommend it. I regularly recommend Kaspersky in business environments, but this is more due to the superiority of their Server Administration Kit than their AV Engine itself. Still, their AV consistently ranks among the best, and no I don’t care where they happen to fall out of the top 10 in a given year. Try not to get caught up in the horse race there, as there simply is no excellent objective way to quantifiably say one AV is better at protecting you than another. I’ve found their protection to be solid and reliable and among the best out there, but you can drive the world’s safest car and still get killed in an accident. Kaspersky 2012 is simple to install and configure and doesn’t seem to have as many potentially perplexing options as Norton does deep in its bowels. 2012 is not especially efficient (Norton 2011 and Eset’s Nod32 seem to have much less vital footprints), but Kaspersky does have a nice Gamer mode that can be flipped on when you want to play games. I’ve found Kaspersky has problem installing on systems previously inhabited (I would say infected, but then my own biases would show) by AVG or Macafee, but that is as much the fault of those harvest as it is their fault, and its a common problem for one AV to interfere with the installation of another, even after it’s “uninstalled”. I find that Kaspersky is one of the quietest AV harvest I’ve used and doesn’t nag you the way many harvest tend to do.

All in all, there are lots of decent AV harvest out there, some of them free, but there’s only 3 I would wholeheartedly endorse with my personal and qualified reputation on the line and Kaspersky is one of them.

It doesn't do nearly as well when it tries to be funny. Too much emphasis is put on Michael Richards being goofy and stumbling all over the place. The plot involves a lawyer (Jeff Daniels) who has his bachelor party the night before he has to appear in court. Unfortunately, he ends up drunk and in a bar fight. He is then unable to represent his client due to a combination of a horrible hangover and a bunch of pills he took to try and feel better. His friend (Michael Richards), an actor, poses as a lawyer and asks for a continuance of the case. His motion is denied and the film relies on the old "fish out of water" routine to draw laughs. The actor has to keep pretending to be the actual lawyer for the case and is forced into a trial situation. Richards does a slight variation of his "Seinfeld" character and bumbles his way through the movie. It's okay but nothing that hasn't been seen before. Daniels plays the same ol' smug loser that he usually plays. This movie is completely stolen by the women. Charlize Theron is simply charming as a local waitress who falls for the engaged Daniels. She really lights up the screen and makes the viewer truly care about what happens to her. Jennifer Coolidge plays a witness during the trial and she was given the funniest lines in the script. Her testimony provides several laugh out loud moments. "Trial And Error" focused too much on a one-joke plot about an actor having to pretend to be an attorney and it loses its novelty early. Luckily, the romantic side story helps keep the viewer interested and Coolidge makes things fun in the courtroom.

WORKS BETTER AS A ROMANCE., January 23, 2002
