Kaspersky Latest Release

I should add that I rebooted my machine three or four times today for other reasons, but KIS did not tell me to reboot my machine.

 

No problem will investigate later tonight. Thanks.

 

Ok got home was still in patch d. Rebooted and now I am on e.

Thanks again for the heads up.

 

Yep, got it here without issue too.

 

I had version D, and when Kaspersky updated, I had to restart the machine to see that I was driving E. This happened every time I uploaded a new image with version D and made an update with Kaspersky.

 

Strange after updating, I am unable to connect to my work VPN. I just use Windows built in VPN. Any thoughts on this?

 

It won't prompt you to reboot but it will not apply the patch until you do. I would prefer they give a notification that an update is pending so you would know to reboot when ready.

 

Is the VPN included with KIS running? Maybe they changed the setting to start it up where it wasn't set to do so before?

 

No I don't even have the KIS VPN installed. I just connect to my work VPN via Windows.

 

FWIW:

"If the Kaspersky antivirus is indeed to be blamed for VPN issues, you'll need to manually create an exclusion for the VPN client. Now, regardless of whether you did it before, it seems that an update for Kaspersky changed settings in an unfavorable way, blocking the outgoing VPN connections."

I had wondered if they slipped it in with the update. They've done it before.

 

I like the version 7 screenshot in that article. I realize the article is not that old but the screenshot is 13 years old. I actually prefer it to the current UI.

 

That's crazy. I don't have a client, just use Windows lol.

 

Quote follows (emphases added):

Better late than never?

 

7 days? Seems a bit long. I can't imagine a Windows PC running that long without something else crashing.

 

Kaspersky 21.3.10.391 | Patch f

 

Thanks for the heads up. I guess no changelog yet?

 

Here we go again. The 2 week countdown is on.

 

Got patch F today. Just one week this round.

 

Nothing here yet.

 

I still had the E patch so i restarted hoping that the F patch would install and it sure did.

 

No Patch F as yet.

 

Same here still on E.

 

I got Patch F here this morning, Trooper.

 

You must have a poor machine.
My uptime is only limited by monthly windows updates, that require a reboot.
