Kaspersky is a German company. The program you will get is in English.
Look at this site for which of the two is better. Active Virus Shield is free and uses Kaspersky. This is why it has the same percentage rating.

I use both AVG and Avast and I prefer Avast to AVG. Both are free and that's good and to me, they both do a better job than Norton / McAffee. Never used Kaspersky so I can't give you any input on that, but for some reason I thought they were Russian. I would imagine that they would have various languages or risk limiting their software to a small portion of the world population.
Another great antivirus is Panda, but it's not free.
As for the two comments about Macs... Mac's are only safer because of their extremely low market share. If Macs ever make it up to like 50%+ market share, you will start seeing virus / attacks / hacks etc hitting Mac's just as often as they hit PC's. After all, the first virus/worms were Unix based and guess what OSX is built off of... Unix / OpenBSD. Also, if Mac's are so safe, then what's the story with the mass amount of security updates lately? I have 2 Mac's so this is not a Windows biased answer.

I never heard of Kaspersky. AVG was free until feb 07 and now you need to purchase it. Seems like Panda Internet security has been hot among users. I would go to download.com and list their Internet security section then look for the top rated program by users. ok wait, i'll do it real quick... so AVG has the most number of downloads at 17,533,582 and it is rated high by both Cnet editors and users.
The next one with High ratings from both is Avast Home Edition 4.7.942
Good luck!

This Sunday, (10/10/10) there are shows all by the united states that are reward for our injured US Troops. "united states's heart VET AIDE" is a grand attempt to strengthen money to help our troops in the transition from defense force existence to civilian existence. i'm particular i'd be figuring out to purchase a number of albums on Sunday from bands that are donating their time to finish for the reason. Bands like Repurcussion, quick Kick, Hellbent, 12 Years Coming, basically pushed, The Black Tuxedos, 0 self-discipline and many more beneficial. Take Care *Beatle - ok . . i'm staying after college to write down "no chatting allowed!" on the blackboard one thousand circumstances.

I heard AVG is one of the best free virus protections out there, never heard ot the other one.
It would also be important to have some spyware protections such as windows defender which is free and then then spybot. It's good to have 2-3 spyware protection programs, I have two.

Get an Apple notebook and you won't have to worry about viruses.
Benefits of Mac:
No viruses, or any other malware for that fact. (This is due to Mac OS X's UNIX underpinnings, not "lack of users" or "low market share.")
Seamless integration. Your hardware will work perfectly with your software, because both are designed by Apple.
You will enjoy many advanced features that are not available in Windows, even Vista. Features like Exposé, Spotlight Search, a built-in dictionary that can be invoked in any application with a simple keystroke, easy to build scripting using Automator, zero-configuration networking, system wide spell checking and many more.
Macs can dual-boot with Windows or run Windows within Mac OS X itself. With BootCamp, you can dual-boot with Windows and run any PC application, even high-end games.
Excellent support and customer service. Apple is well known for it's support. I had a wonderful experience with Apple when the logic board in my Mac mini went bad. (This was due to a power issue in my home, not the Mac.)
Great software. Most of the software made for the Mac is better than similar software for Windows. Crap doesn't survive on the Mac market. iLife is absolutely amazing. Mac OS X is compatible with many file formats, right out of the box. As I mentioned before, you can run Windows applications. With a Mac, you can have it both ways.
Beautiful hardware. Quality hardware. Apple puts the sex in tech. Apple hardware is always beautiful, as well as functional. Apple has extremely talented engineers. One look at an iMac will tell you that much. The hardware is of excellent quality and built to last. Macs are well known to have a longer life span than PCs.
Upgrades? Who needs them. A seven year old iMac can still run the latest release of Mac OS X. Sure, you can add more RAM or get a bigger hard drive, but your Mac will run beautifully for years to come. When a new version of Mac OS X is released, you won't need to scramble to purchase upgrades in order to run it. (Leave that to the Vista adopters.)
Crashing. It doesn't happen. I'm not saying Mac OS X is absolutely perfect, but it's damn close. Most problems are easily fixed within minutes. Macs don't require the constant maintenance needed by PCs.
Value. When all of these things add up, you'll actually be saving money, as well as time, in the long run. You'll find yourself actually doing more on a Mac. Things you never thought of doing on a PC.
22 million Mac users can't be wrong. We love our Macs, and for good reason. You won't find a Mac user "switching" to a PC, at least not willingly. We're a loyal crowd. Not nuts, just loyal.
You will love a Mac, trust me. Don't waste any more time on a PC. I'm glad I switched.
