  • One of the products we're most frequently asked about is Kaspersky PURE.

    Previous versions of PURE were less than impressive.

    For the most part, there was little reason to consider them over the lower priced Internet Security.

    This year, it's different.

    Taking a cue from its competitors, Kaspersky has added many features to PURE that aren't in its other products.
