K7 Computing is one of the lesser known players in the security solution market. Their product called K7 TotalSecurity is a complete security suite for desktop users. When you start the installation, K7 TotalSecurity does a preliminary scan to ensure there are no threats preexisting on the system. After the installation, and with the suite registered, updates are downloaded and installed. There is little to go wrong here. K7 TotalSecurity is a thorough security suite, but the interface isn't enticing. K7 has gone with a very traditional and simplistic approach but the quality and design of the icons and layout could definitely be improved. The interface looks as if there are only a limited number offeatures and also a limited amount of settings available for each of those features. When you get into each of the settings and try to modify the parameters, you notice the complex menus and terminology.
