Best Buy Awards Kaspersky Lab 2009 BRAVO! For Innovation In Leadership

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of Internet threat protection solutions that defend against computer viruses, spyware and all forms of malicious software, is the proud recipient of the prestigious BRAVO! Award, presented by the consumer electronics leader, Best Buy.

The BRAVO! Award was given to Kaspersky Lab for Innovation in leadership as part of Best Buy's pioneering Subscription Software Service.  This service allows customers to easily "subscribe" to Kaspersky anti-virus and Internet security software when purchasing desktop, laptop and netbook computers at Best Buy.  When enrolled in the Subscription Software Service, programs such as operating systems, security suites and office productivity software can be automatically renewed and updated, ensuring customers have easy access to the most current software versions and features.  A variety of payment options for the Subscription Software Service are available, and the service can be cancelled at any time for a full refund of unused prepaid months.

Kaspersky Lab was one of the first vendors to participate in this program, ensuring its users receive the most current protection and innovative features from its award-winning Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Anti-Virus products, without needing to manage the renewal process.

Best Buy's award committee evaluates hundreds of nominees and chooses annual winners in several categories, considering factors including technology leadership, honesty and integrity, responsiveness, growth initiatives, partnering acumen, and speed to market.
