    I haven't followed much this issue in the past, but from a forum search, it appears that objectID use is present even in KAV 8 Alpha. So KAV 7.0 must have the check disk issue...

    Dang it!

    Hey after I used Active Virus Shield, my Second Stage delayed over 5 minutes. Then I thought what the heck I may as well give the free six month KIS trial a go that was around the forums last year. Well between the Second Stage delay and my experiences using KIS, it just doesn't seem worth using KAV with the chance of this happening again. I have since had a new hard drive put in, ( not from anything KIS did) and I no longer had the delay. My experience with KIS wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything to write home about. I think using Avast Home, ThreatFire, and PC Tools Firewall would be very close to the protection Kaspersky offers, or maybe even better.

    Albinoni you didn't answer the question?

    If you want help then why don't you explain WHY the need for a free one year license, when there are GREAT free AV apps.

    More choices would seem to be an obvious reason.

    I think 30 days is enough for a trial isn't it?

    although i don't personally like kaspersky, it does not work, the site. when you put all your info on, and click on the hyperlink before autoredirect, it directs you to your info page again? why? tested on 2 computers.

    You need to enable cookies during the process.
    The code is displayed on the last page when you follow the instructions.

    I was able to get it to work once. When I tried for another code for a different computer I started having the same problem where clicking the last link takes me back to page where the user name and email address are entered. Cookies are enabled. Any idea what's wrong? Perhaps the registration has been disabled?

    It didnt work for me in one go, try to refresh the page, enable cookies and javascript.
    One poster said you get one licence per ip per day.
    Maybe you can get one for the other pc tomorrow.

    I got a second key today. Haven't tested it yet. First time they send email to me where is key. Now the key is in picture. No emails (different addresses).

    EDIT1: Same computer & same IP.

    EDIT2: Is there any easy way to test if key is OK?

    KAV 8 Alpha still uses objectID but in a different way so that you don,t get the chkdsk issue. At least that's what they are saying on the Kaspersky board but I haven't verified that claim.

    If someone could translate the pages it might give us a clue as to why the registrations are failing. Google only translates the very first page, not the ones deeper into the registration process. On the other hand, maybe they were getting too many hits from US servers and are blocking the requests?

    I think it's more then enough to put it thru the paces.
    After 30 days, buy it.
    If money is an issue the free 3 A's are all very good and have used them myself.
    I'll keep the rest of my opinions to myself for now.
    Maybe in another thread. :cool:
