    Cant argue with you, so I guess I will just apologize. I know I can be a bear, but I am a sicko because you know what, I am passoniate about this stuff, and that is frigging crazy. But true. I will tone it down. Want a Big Mac?;)

    No offense, but you uninstall/reinstall various AV's on a weekly basis, and one can only assume that you are also doing the same with other security software. If you're being forced to run CHKDSK on your hard drive, are there any bad clusters or sectors in the report? Replace your hard drive and switch back to KAV because your current avatar is ugly. :D

    That made me laugh.

    But yeah... All of these issues your describing really do not happen with my KAV 6... Let alone I hear KAV 7 is lighter so thats another bonus. I can't wait till the final comes out.

    From what I've seen NIS2008 is going to kick KIS7 a**. The only advantage that KIS6 had going for it was detection and have many of you have seen from the recent AV tests even that lead they had seems to be diminishing.

    from what I've seen from NIS 2008 they will never win. First look is good. But I'm used to KIS 7 now and must be a good company to beat that

    I'm curious... Whats in Norton 08 thats better than Kaspersky?

    KIS has pro-active defence, heuristics, solid firewall, its lighter than 6... Norton has..____ (I'm not sure, so fill in the blanks)

    the symantec beta testers are not allowed to disclose that infomation.
    so we will have to wait for the public beta.

    Please confine the discussion to the issue of Kaspersky 7 having major issues.

    If you want to discuss a new version of NIS, a new thread would be appropriate.

    Vloody Hell!! :eek: (Russian for By Gosh your Dumb) :p I Seriously Doubt you lot even read what is Meant by Beta!, Even when you sign up for Beta testing you have the warning that it isnt an Official release, and should only be tested by Experts ( :cautious: ) And it should Only be installed on a Test Machine :shifty: So More fool you If you get Crashes and Stuff Ups! *puppy*

    The build 119TR is the final. It is the release version and not a beta. Needs commercial key.

    My Dell E501 box runs very well in most powerful protections provided by KIS7TR.
    There is no performance issue with KIS7 even at most highest settings of protections at all levels; this is a great sign to the complete newly rewritten NDIS network driver of KIS7 team; on my box, it is a very small differential, < 3% from in/out throughputs network/internet between no KIS7 and having KIS7 at max. protection level.

    New heuritic engine as most other powerful ones, at max heuritic scanning, some false alarms should be there anyway. On mine, there have been two of all detected one as "trojan.generic (modification)" and another as "worm.P2P.generic (modification)"; both are sent to KAL for further analysis.

    It hopes that KAL should redesign GUI of firewall components (rules settings/reports/template more)

    Thx to KIS7 team.

    sometimes a person has such problems that they need to vent, we should all understand that, it's called being human. Also agree that all software isn't for all users or all machines so I have to back trjam. In his case it caused him a lot of problems & so he's just venting, I hope he get's back to square one.

    He does indeed get back to square one. In fact he starts from that position at least once a week.:D

    Very funny guys and I understand and expect it. But time will truthfully tell and if you really think Kas 7 is the Holy Grail, well, let me just bookmark this post for say, about 90 days from now. Peace.:)

    I have been using KAV Beta since 7.0.0.55 with no major problems (Although I have never used the parental control). The only issue I have is that it is still relatively slow compared to AVG, NOD32, Panda and Alwil. It also appears to be slower than Avira. Kaspersky needs to focus even more resources on speed. Granted, the firewall in version 7 is significantly faster than in version 6.

    Although I saw slow browsing when I installed KIS 7 earlier, I reinstalled and now I don't see any noticable slowdowns at all when using Opera 9.21 or in IE 7. It is a vast improvement. But, I also stilll like Avira as well.
