Just bought KIS 7

After a long while of testing out various security suites, most recently ESET's, I have come back to KIS 7. This is largely because I was able to buy it at a local shop for $13.50 CAN. This was a good deal right? I've noticed that it usually retails for like $40+. Should I change any of the settings or is the default adequate protection? Thanks to this board for all the help it's given me in the recent weeks.

 

Futureshop?

 

no, i was on the futureshop website and they have it listed for 79 + tax. this was just at an independent computer shop in edmonton.

 

Hi starter15,

i would suggest you to keep the original settings.
The only thing you might want to disable is the 'start-up scan' option.

 

Firewall --> Training Mode.
Web AV --> Maximum
Scan --> Maximum (Heuristic Analyzer Detail)
Others --> Default.

 

Futureshop recently had it as a webdeal for $15.

 

KIS7 has the outbound firewall OFF by default. which makes it as bad as XP SP2. Something to think about.

 

You're really sure about that
Firewall is active the moment you install and reboot.
All outgoing connections were monitored by KIS7, so everytime I got a pop-up.

 

i think that was KAV not KIS, but i could be wrong.
