Kaspersky Antivirus and Internet Security 2011 Beta

We haven't heard anything official except a few bits and pieces of (including unconfirmed) changes in v2011. There will probably be an official "What's new" tread in the beta section later.

 

I think Norton Insight seems very interesting and useful. though I haven,t used it.

 

I agree, but in VT in many samples it seems to say allways "Suspicious.Insight", when those samples are apparently clean ...

Regards.

 

So what is new in 2011?

 

Once installed it bloats up to completely fill your hard drive making it impossible for any malware to install!(lol)

 

This isn't a Norton thread.

 

What is it with Norton being brought up in every thread

Anyway I am interested to see what Kaspersky is going to bring to it's software this year.

 

Mostly done by trolls. They might even be buzzing around in your city, driving this:

...if you see one greet him with a nice banana.

(not flaming, just a bit of humor )

 

Hilarious !

 

As for myself, I was just kidding. I am also quite interested in the next version of Kaspersky, especially since there is talk of a native 64 bit version.

 

that's hot

 

Dont see the value, unless they are planning on using more than 2GB, in which case...

 

AVG has also an interesting technique, it sucks up al processor resources and uses all your RAM so nothing, including malware, can be executed. Or McAfee, with its unorthodox "I'm already malware myself and won't allow competition on the computers I've infected" method

 

I guess it is Kaspersky's Thread...but we all dragging McAfee, AVG, and Norton here...We should stick to the concerned AV.

 

Sorry, back on topic.
Sjoeii, you seem to know a lot about Kaspersky's products. There was a special edition of 2009 for ultraportables/netbooks, do you know if there are any plans to make one for the 2010 version or maybe 2011?
And the online scanner at Kaspersky's site, it has been down for a long time, stating that a new, improved version will come soon, but I doesn't seem it's coming, any info about it?

EDIT: Found an answer about KIS 2009 UP Edition:

It seems that the normal 2010 version has already the netbook enhancements from KIS 2009 UP edition.
Still, any info on the online scanner would be nice

 

Not sure, but I think MS (being M$ ) is going to force gold partners to have a 64 bit native application as a certification requirement in the future. Which isn't really surprising knowing MS and the increased number of preinstalled 64bit W7s.

Hi
I'm not sure about the Netbook version. I will ask at HQ.
It seems like this version does work on Netbook though. Have you tried it?

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough because English is not my native language, but in the EDIT part I posted that the netbook version was no longer supported and KIS 2010 seems to have the same netbook enhancements as KIS 2009 netbook version. I uninstalled KIS 2009 netbook version from the netbook and installed KIS 2010 and everything works fine
But I still like to know about Kaspersky Online Scanner:

Use AVPTool in the meantime http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool/
(or as a permanent replacement, I see no point in the Online scanner with AVPTool around)

 

I´ve posted a screenshot of new beta version of KAV 2011 here.

 

thanks Don, the color isnt the most pleasing but I do like the GUI.

 

I'm not real concerned about the GUI yet. There isn't even a public beta yet, and it will change, probably a lot, before it is released.

 

Like the current GUI much, much better. Wow, that is ugly if that's the new GUI.

 

I thought the same at first, but than i remembered how it looks like 2009 version which was way better. It had more information and options. All they need to do is add a background image, which i am sure they are still designing. They would not leave it plain booger green.
