Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

I have 2012 that will expire on July 2013,how to upgrade ?

I won the license from giveaway site

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

You are supposed to be able to install a new version on top of an old, but this can and does lead to problems sometimes, as seen on the Kaspersky support forum, and it is advisable to completely remove the old version first.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Kaspersky's way of updating versions is the worst i've seen and you'd expect a top tier company to have program auto update system in place in year 2012...

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

That is sooo true!

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Well the updates come once a year not every month so i dnt have any problem with the update mechanism
all the patches dont need any uninstall and reinstall

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Yes, you have always been able to do that, but as I said above, that procedure is also known to have caused its fair share of issues.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

I'll stick with KIS 2012, I'm quite happy with it. If the 2013 version will be official released then I go switch from 2012 to 2013.

ehmm btw thanhtai2009, in your signature it says 2013 final ? but there isn't a final version of 2013 yet.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

It you are Russian there is.

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Ah I see, I didn't know about that !!

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

The links provided in several of the posts above download an ENGLISH LANGUAGE version of KIS 2013.

Download, install and then, update, and you should have the latest English/American commercial release installed ie 13.0.0.3370(a).

So far, KIS2013 is working just fine on my machine. The install accepted my existing KIS2012 licence and activated KIS2013 without issue. As well, KIS2013 updated its virus definitions automatically a couple of times over the past 24 hours; so, Kaspersky's update servers are up and running.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

public version comes this months, just wait if you can

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

yes, update servers for 2013 are up: -http://dnl-01.geo.kaspersky.com/AutoPatches/kav13/

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

I see, thanks guys for the info

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Pretty sure. I've reverted to a clean image and will try later to see if it's reproducible. kltdi.sys was the faulting component if I remember correctly (preventing a potential buffer overflow, according to XP BSOD).

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

I uninstalled KIS2012 and other security product namely comodo firewall. I restarted windows and made sure that all traces of the products were gone.

I then installed KIS 2013 english from ftp2 links. The installation worked perfect and KIS2013 did run, but I was not able to activate it with my 2012 code. KIS 2013 reported that it was unable to establish an SSL connection to activate the product.
I did have internet and there is no problem whatsoever, also no other product is blocking SSL connections or blocking anything.

I uninstalled 2013, restarted my computer, installed KIS 2012 again and everything worked again.

Must be an anomaly on my side I suppose, because everybody else seem to run 2013 without problems. Anyway, I think I'll wait for the official release on kaspersky.com
I am Dutch, but I like to use software in english as much as possible.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Are you using KIS and Comodo at the same time? That's... not good.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

yep, but in order to install KIS I have to uninstall comodo FW too. After I install KIS, I can install comodo fw. I do have them running together at this very moment.
I did disable defense+ and the sandbox in comodo, so only the firewall is running. I think that KIS can manage the protection pretty well.

And before I installed KIS 2013 I also uninstalled Comodo firewall completely.
I did a clean install with KIS2013, i did not install it over 2012. maybe that is why I couldn't get it to register.
Or the SSL internet connection was somehow not perfect, either at my side or at kaspersky, at the very moment I tried to register KIS2013 with my 2012 key.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Is 2013 version lighter?

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

thanks Bud
I'd better to wait final release officially.

So far,KIS2012 running well with MBAM Pro.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

KIS already has a firewall. Adding Comodo firewall to that equals two software firewalls = one too many.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

well, it works for me. Personally, I think that CFW is easier with editing blocking or allowing programs. It can be done in KIS, but for me it is not very easy to quickly do so. Comodo does the firewall part a bit easier, for me at least.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

While uninstalling KIS 2012 don't remove the activation data. Install KIS 2013 and in most cases it will identify the activation automatically. I am running the 2013 version in my system. No issues and slowdowns. Even all KIS firefox extensions work fine. But the initial update speed was slow. It might be because KIS update servers were busy. But subsequent updates are smooth

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

I was expecting it to be lighter than 2012 due to the removal of some components but I find that it is not. YMMV. I have already removed it since it is an unsupported version anyway.

 

Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

Will I be able to use my 2012 license/key with 2013?
