Slow, inept, and expensive

We Mac users have enjoyed a long history of virus free computers. Lately, it seems the vast expansion enjoyed by Apple translated into hacks and attacks. Though most hackers come from unwed parents and are easily identified by their horrendous facial features the unwitting Mac computer cannot know this and therefore requires protection. Enter Kaspershy and the reasons I decided to venture into their realm. That trip was abysmal.
Kaspersky is slow. It updates every time I use it, slowly. There is no automatic scanning for the convenient times I may be sleeping and my computer is not.
Also, Kaspersky demands its pound of money for each computer you wish protected. There are no family packs or multi-computer packages offered for the Mac. Oh, got an iPad? Just how are you going to protect it? Not through Kaspersky.
I nstalled the program and launched it. After an agonizing 14 minutes of updating definitions the green light glowed brightly signifying the programs reediness to scan. Following directions one clicks the green button and boom, up pops a comforting statement that all is well with my computer.
Except, the files scanned remained at 0. The only way to scan my drives is not through the preferances feature. I have to drag my hard drive onto the glowing green button. So I do. 5 hours and many minutes later, again up pops the all clear and well statement. This time there are millions of files listed as scanned.
Am I comforted, knowing my computer is well and healthy? Well I suppose so. Am I comfident that everything was indeed scanned? No, I am not. Really, over 5 hours to scan everything on the new Mac Retina PowerBook, with all its computing accolades and speed?
Whatever else is out there may be worth a look. Kaspersky gives a "try before you buy" option. I should have taken it. I recommend you do.
