KIS 2010

Careful running two HIPS at the same time...might get a bit iffy

 

Hi lu chin,

I do not think it has anything to do with KIS 2010. I think has more to do with IE8 loading an extra process or something. I was experiencing the increase in # as well with Defensewall when I was running IE8. I have since switched to Firefox and the issue is no more.

Has anyone been able to test the effectiveness of the sandbox yet?

 

Good to hear but different from my experience. Just ran CLT as high restricted with all set to prompt and all pro-active categories selected. Score 160/340.

As for AKLT, failed all except journal record hook.

I'll keep playing with the settings to tighten it up if better scores can be obtained but the average user Kaspersky are targeting will not be able to configure different rulesets to those that come as standard IMO leaving Vista users a little bit more vulnerable than XP users.

Still the best suite there is by some considerable distance though - top notch AM, good HIPS (albeit somewhat restricted in Vista), decent firewall and now sandbox. Can't be beat.

Cheers

 

You did run the AKLT in the background before starting typing, right?

It will not trigger an alert if AKLT is the window that is in focus. I did try it with an older build and passed all but directx.

 

HELL YEAH.... WELCOME TO KASPERSKY LABS.......

Being the serious company they're, I more than believe they will do this kind of improvement.

 

Being pretty different in their operation, what would you suggest for the user to do?

 

Baz, yes, started AKLT , typed into browser (Firefox) after activating AKLT test so browser was the window 'in focus'. No matter how I changed settings was getting same result.

Could see from your comments and those on Kaspersky forum something was wrong so reinstalled. Much better this time 310/340 for CLT and only Direct X failing AKLT as suggested. I'm sure with some tweaking I can get that even better.

Also tried tteoak this time - passed screen capture and keylogging but not clipboard. Seems to fail Zemana keylogging (it alerts to the various activities but does not flag the app as logging keys) but passes Zemana screen capture. Still, much happier now. Anti keylogging and screen capture in particular much better on Vista in 2010 than in 2009 version along with general HIPS improvements.

Well done to all at KL. I'm sure many still think get they get better protection with a layered approach but if it's all in one you go for there really is no better suite now. It's extremely good.

Thanks for your comments and making me check again.

Cheers

 

Since I use IE in Kasperskys sandbox always, is there really a need to activate web scanning.

 

So... about the Sandbox... is it more flexible than e.g. DW or SandboxIE? I may be wrong, but I don't find it as easy to install new software when running in a sandbox.

 

I am not using it to install software, I am using it for what it was created for. I think it works great. No slow down on opening my web browser.

 

Same here no slow downs with my web browser too.

 

Fine. I was only interested I personally install a lot of new software on a regular basis.

 

Just one problem the updates size are quite big ~1 Mb
I updated KIS 2010 for first time and after 30 min i again updated manually and it took around ~1.5 Mb for the update and again now updated manually update size was 1023 Kb

 

It looks like this thing is getting some positive comments. I am a former Kaspersky user and have wasted most of a 3 user license for 2009 because it was just too unstable for me. I have been testing this in a virtual machine and it doesn't look too bad, but I haven't used it for more than a couple of hours at a time. Is the 459 build solid enough for daily use or should this still be left to a test machine?

 

Unless anything major is found before release day this is what will be shipping in the boxes (maybe slightly higher build number for localized versions).

There is no official support for it in your country until it is announced on the Kaspersky homepage.

 

Yes they are quiet big. I just had one that was 1.5MB even after updating inital installation. Seems they are updating modules often instead of just virus database now. I wish they would create descriptions for all the files updated.
I have no idea what adbu, apu, pas, bss, parctl, and all those others files being updated are. The only obvious ones are pdm, av, and as. What are the update sizes for other AV's like avast or avira?

 

Running it on a 32 bit Vista machine, looking good so far. How is it running on Vista x64? That's where I ran into problems with the 2009.

 

I am on Vista X64. Working fine, although it worked fine on 2009.
Only problem i had with 2009 was the moving notification window.

 

Anyone getting this error when trying the run their browser sandboxed (IE, Firefox, Opera)? I just installed it this morning and haven't had time to read this entire thread or check the K forums. Running on 32 bit Win 7 build 7100 btw.

 

Win7 isn't yet supported....and they havent started open beta testing of Win7 for KIS2010 yet. That will all come in Maintenence Pack 1

 

Thanks Baz_kas for your reply. That's what I figured anyways... I'm ok with with the sandbox not working as long as everything else is working.

 

Hi all, I have decided that I would really like to try this new Kaspersky Internet Security; sounds great. My question is... I currently run NIS2009 which I understand I will have to remove of course. I also have GeSWall Pro, Prevx3 paid, WinPatrol and I have SuperAntiSpyware, MalwareBytes on demand. So, would I have to remove any or all of those because some, Prevx, etc., I do not want to part with. Thanks
