And now that I secured a copy of Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (via
Barclay's), I install it and find my connection to the Internet is gone
- zilch.

After many house of running between my laptop and my main PC with
Kaspersky screwing it, I find that Kaspersky will not co-exists with Net
Nanny (strangely not apparent of their web-site)

I rate the latest NetNanny very highly - it provides superb controllable
protection for youngsters (far superior to Kaspersky's parental control)
and so it is now un-deleted and binned.
Thus far Avira (simple and apparently effective) is now protecting my
system.

Call me a Cynic, if you must, but I think you can take it as a rule of
thumb that once an AV product reaches the stage whereby it can be bought
as a boxed item in the likes of PC World, then it's time to look
elsewhere for a better alternative.
