Kaspersky v.8 (2009) Official Technical Release is out

Thanks for the confirmation. Missed that screen detail on the install (juggling too many things I guess).

How do you know the guy in the picture,Is not him

 

To tell the truth, because it's really me.

Back on topic: I've tried Kaspersky 8 now. Very light and the webpage hang is gone - as stated before. Finally I can use Kaspersky without getting crazy. They have absolutly done a great job, congrats!

 

I mentioned this to my buddy who is running just the antivirus(Kav v7.125).Is anyone here running this with the new version?

 

Running v7 with v8?... don't even think about it!

1) You should NEVER run more than 1 AV on the computer at a time because it will cause instablilty, crashed, BSODs etc
This problem will especially happen if you are running two different versions of the same AV... the drivers will most likely clash and crash

2) Kaspersky v8 will not install if you have v7 installed (it checks for other AVs and older versions of Kaspersky. If you have them, you will be told to remove them or it will be removed).


If your friend wants to try out v8, uninstall v7 and restart your computer prior to attempting to install v8.
Thats the only way it will work.

 

good enough for me thanks for the insight...

 

This was what he was planning on.I was looking for opinions on KAV v8 to see how it was running.The suite is great here on Vista.

 

I trialed the 7 though it was pretty light other then slow as malases on demand scans,you guys are saying that this version is even lighter with faster scan speed know?I guess when I am done playing with avg 8 which will to be soon since its getting slower by the minute,I give it a try.

 

The first user made skins for Kaspersky 2009 are starting to come through:


IMO this one is more pleasant on the eyes if you are using XP






Can pick them up here if you are interested:

But you only have to install what modules you need.

I only have "Anti-Malware" running so the Guard is therefore as light as a feather in real-time; as light as SpIDerGuard on this machine.

But the real clincher between DW and KAV for me is the on-demand scanner speed; using the setting "Scan only new and changed files" took just over a minute for 26 GB of data.

 

I find that the original skin looks better than these two, but thanks anyway.

 

I don't buy a program and only use 1 module of it.

Impressive, but I (like most other people) do a scan once a week, so I don't care if this takes 45 minutes (scan time this morning for my XP partition). Btw The Doctor found 1 false positive (the first one in 2 months). I have reported this and within 30 minutes this has been corrected.

More important for me is that the Doctor is so "light" I don't even notice it is running. It gives great protection and does not have bells and whistles I don't use.

 

KIS2009 may have many bells and whistles, on my PC I don't notice that it works too. And it does

 

Does this version add the object ID's? If can a person opt out of having the object ID's added?

 

Where can i download the latest release

 

i need someone to test something for me please.
can someone download crysis demo installer,divx installer and some other installers and place them in one folder and scan it.

while scanning can you monitor cpu usage and memory usage.
it would help if you can run programs while you do this scan to see if it slows you down to a crawl or not.

when i do a scan with kis2009 and it gets to scanning my installer files such as the one i want people to test my memory usage is around 94percent of 2gb and my computer slows to crawl. i want to know if its a bug with the KL 2009 engine with scanning large archive files or if its a conflict on my pc.
thanks in advance to the peoeple who are willing to test.

lodore,
if you look in the bugthread you can see that lots of people are experiencing the same (me included). Seems that KIS starts to unpack the large files directly into the memory instead of to the HD (thus huge mem usage from avp.exe), and until some point it starts to unpack to the HD (without decreasing mem usage). I have PMd on of the devs few days ago (on 30th April IIRC) with all the necessary details and traces. We'll see what happens. So, no... no conflict there...
Oh, and highest settings were used, as always.

 

Here and if you need it ....the updated for version 2009 removaltool:http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208279752

Enjoy.

 

i always use full settings.
pm me on here or KL forum when you get an update on that issue.
thanks


once that issue is sorted i will install it again.

 

Sure, will do

 

Anyone know when Kasp. expects to release KIS 2009 & KAV 2009 commercially.

 

Thank you osip. Sorry for taking so long to say thanks. I was a little busy the last few days. I almost forgot I posted a question.

 

In june most likely. But it could change, depending on marketing, ... stellar winds, and so on...

 

well I tried it & I was wrong, great product... now I have to recover my license some how but all in all I'd say one good suite...even if I have to repurchase...

 

KIS can check all kind of packers during a full scan.
Most AV´s don´t do this.
If they do this, they won´t say our AV is the fastest during a full scan.
