Kaspersky Latest Release

what do you use now?

 

K7 Antivirus Premium

 

Currently HMP.A, AppGuard, running as Standard User Account and different hardening.
And I don't use Windows for for sensitive stuff anymore anyway.

 

I'm trying to whitelist an ip address to KIS. But for the life of me I can't locate how to do so from searching startpage. All I get is instructions for endpoint security products or from 2015.

If anyone can assist how to do this I'd be grateful.

 

I think the Knowledge Base settings for KIS 20 apply to 21 as well:

How to set a connection rule for an application

How to set packet rules

https://support.kaspersky.com/15163#block3

How to set a range of IP addresses when creating packet rules

https://support.kaspersky.com/15163#block4

 

That's much appreciated! It looks a lot to take in so I'll go through it tomorrow. I'm sure it never used to be such a chore, it was simple as whitelisting a site, which it is pretty much, my vps ip.

 

Whitelist for what component(s) of KIS?

Are you looking to set firewall rules, or rules for the threat detections - scans, etc.?

Perhaps you're thinking of the Threats and Exclusions settings?

https://support.kaspersky.com/KIS/21.3/en-US/201385.htm

Have you tried asking in the Kaspersky forums?

https://forum.kaspersky.com/forum/kaspersky-internet-security-13/

 

You can also look at the Network Settings section:

https://support.kaspersky.com/KIS/2020/en-US/68219.htm

Especially:

Manage exclusions

"Clicking this link opens the Exclusions window. In this window,
you can generate a list of websites that will not be scanned by
the following protection components:

Web Anti-Virus
Anti-Banner
Parental Control
URL Advisor
Private Browsing
Safe Money"

Also:

Websites

"Clicking this link opens a window containing a list of websites.
Encrypted connections scans are not performed for these websites."

 

I need a promo code or a cheaper deal for Kaspersky Security Cloud personal. My license is expiring in 27 days.

 

Hello @spearpoint

As you may have already researched, and using the invaluable posts of @Thankful, no discount codes more recent than mid-March 2022 have been offered for a Kaspersky product from Newegg.

 

Kaspersky Security Cloud has been discontinued. The direct replacement is Kaspersky Plus. You can get a 50% discount here: Kaspersky Plus - Advanced Internet Security Software | Kaspersky

 

https://usa.kaspersky.com/security-cloud

 

You can still get it but it is being discontinued.

 

are there ads and popups. i have avast free for the moment all ads and trying to sell more

 

If you go to uninstall Avast, you will be given the option to keep it installed without the ads.

 

all i got was option to uninstalll or repair

 

That's a quick change. I went to that same page yesterday after reading @spearpoint 's post and the banner that now gives a subscription price stated that Kaspersky Security Cloud was no longer available.

 

But now Kaspersky Free is available:
https://usa.kaspersky.com/free-antivirus
https://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/free-antivirus
In The Netherlands Kaspersky Security Cloud Free is still available, we have not gotten the new productline yet...

EDIT: Sorry I thought you all were talking about Security Cloud Free.
So Kaspersky Security Cloud Paid ==> Kaspersky Plus
Kaspersky Security Cloud Free ==> Kaspersky Free

 

does it push ads like avast 'free'

 

Probably not, but I haven't tried it yet.

 

Kaspersky Forum Topic:

"My subscription changed from Kaspersky security cloud to Kaspersky plus..."

Moderstor's response:

"This is not actually a downgrade

This is the new Kaspersky upcoming home products line: https://support.kaspersky.com/help/Kaspersky/Win21.7/en-US/152975.htm...

KSCloud -> K. Plus / Premium

K. Plus has all the features included in previous KSCloud..."

https://forum.kaspersky.com/topic/m...ersky-security-cloud-to-kaspersky-plus-25034/

 

Maybe that option is only available for AVG, which is essentially the same product these days.

 

Yup, mine has changed too a while ago, but I don't see an option anywhere to buy plus.

 

That offer is not available in the EU.

 

Any KSCloud (paid) licence will activate Kaspersky Plus installer.
