About the Shield Deluxe 2008:
The Shield Deluxe is powered by Kaspersky Anti-Virus Software, which we also rated very high on our list, but whose price and customer support aren't as competitive as The Shield Deluxe. This software program also boasts a resourceful and easy-to-use interface, a huge plus for the novice user.
The Shield Deluxe 2008 Experience:
While the Shield Deluxe 2008 website itself is nothing special, don't let this fool you! They offer a Threat Matrix, which we thought was useful and will definitely help customers find the product they need. Navigating the website was pretty painless, and placing an order was the same. Finding useful information and links such as customer support was simple as well.

Shield Deluxe 2008 Customer Support:
Their customer service and technical support provide phone support 7 days a week. Email support is great too, sending us back a response at 'off hours.' Their email support boosts a 24 hour email guarantee, which is a great deal! While they may not be able to resolve your issue in 24 hours, they will definitely confirm they received your inquiry. We also have to mention their FAQs page complete with video explanations of certain features. What a positive customer support experience!
Upside:
Ease of use, free technical support and Kaspersky Anti-virus technology is the greatest upside of The Shield Deluxe 2007. Vista compatible. Doesn't drain system resources.
Downside:
First scan can be time-consuming. After the initial scan, we didn't notice the same problem.
