KIS 2010

Well when I got home I decided to install this on my 64 bit machine. It says that the sandbox functionality is limited on 64 bit and Internet Explorer may not function correctly, but aside from that it is running great. I am very impressed. The web scanner was horribly slow for me in the 2009. I can hardly tell I am running anything with this installed. If it is stable I will be keeping it.

 

My problem with the KIS web scanner is that it goes to "waiting.." right away when going to a page, but then there's a pause after that before it loads the page.

 

Hi,
I am sorry for the delay for your reply. Could you please upload the traces after compressing it with rar/zip to forum.kaspersky.com or to rapidshare.com and post the link in forum.kaspersky.com(In Beta Testing Section of 2010), the developers are fixing the product for vista sp2, they might fix this issue when they release a new build. If you upload the traces they will be able to track this problem.

 

why does it take almost 2.5 hours to scan my computer.

 

Lots of archives?

Select "Scan only new and changed files" after your first full scan and the next scans should be a lot faster.

 

I thought this was still default as it should be their "patented" technology?

 

I had that problem badly with the 2009. I am not getting it with the 2010 at all.

 

Make sure web-AV's settings are at defaults - (in particular, ensure "buffering time" is limited to 1second)

 

Thanks, but I did. Web AV level doesn't seem to effect my browsing speed.

 

Hello,

I just bought KAV/KIS 2009 for free after rebate and I was wanting to know if I can upgrade it to 2010?

cheers

Codes should be good for 2010, if not then when it is released support will exchange them for you. Version upgrades are free for license duration.

 

Thanks. The 2009 codes do work with 2010 with out a problem.

The problem comes from the performance. I have vipre installed on many of my boxes at home and love it. However, I like having a few boxes with a different AV just in case something goes awry. Kaspersky is killing this box that is a E2200 intel media pc. This is horrible.

I have used Kaspersky on and off for quite a long time and it still seems to suffer from bloat and be slow. Gdata 2010 with 2 scanning engines is MUCH lighter!!!! bleh!

cheers

I find the 2010 Waaaay lighter than the 2009. I wouldn't even use the 2009 and had a 3 user license. Which I just renewed to run the 2010. I don't find the sandbox works consistently well but the rest of it seems fine. Also the serial I just bought was for 2009 and it worked just fine.

 

OK. Let me clarify. This is the third time I have had to physically shut down the PC because of KAV2010. I am doing a full scan with default settings on a media pc that has an intel E2200 cpu and 4 gigs of ram. KAV2010 is killing it. It is now frozen and I cannot do anything else. I am using build 459..arg.

 

for some reason, in kav2010 the option to concede resources for other applications is disabled, try enabling it (settings>options), and see if it's better now - of course scan will be slower or faster depending on what you are doing with your pc as kav will pause it or slow it down to allow applications to work at their best

 

Hi,
When any application is run for the first time(in KIS envt) its takes time for execution but after that you won't be facing any problems of slow down.

EDIT : Do you have many archive files ?

 

Yes, I have quite a few zip files but on default settings "scan archives" is disabled. Is it a bug?

 

Hi,

when I run CLT with default settings and automatic mode (out of the box settings), then this popup appears.



Iexplore.exe has no digital signature and a high danger rating...

"-> Yes" - means protection fails
"-> Limit" - IE will be permanently High Restricted with no Internet access
"-> No" - IE will become Untrusted and is not allowed to start anymore.

I've already posted my finding at Kaspersky forums but without serious reply, just - is this the real IE? - or - test in interactive mode.

Is anyone here able and willing to reproduce this problem?

Cheers

 

Which version of ie r u using... it must be modified(or not ie) because KIS 2010 have massive list of whitelisted applications including those of Microsoft.
I am using ie8 no issues

 

1) During which test of CLT?

2) Do you use a skinning pack for Windows?

3) If you click on IEXPLORE.exe in that popup, what details are given?

 

No, it's not a problem... CLT modifies IE (in one of the tests) and tries to run it... and KIS warns you accordingly...
After testing put IE in trusted manually.

 

Even if KIS acts as it should (I doubt that...), as this happens in automatic mode, such things may lead to strange situations with mums and dads.
Will they be able to find this solution without Internet access.

Cheers

 

In normal situations (clean machine), such a thing wont happen. If there's an infection, and IE is changed (for malicious purposes), don't you think it's better to restrict IE?
And if you ask, "The test reverts the original IE afterward... why doesn't KIS place it in Trusted group?"... do you think malware would revert original IE? I doubt it will. This is just a leaktest afterall.

 

Maybe too lazy for old info, but nevertheless, is KIS 2010 sandboxing a real alternative to Tzuk's Sandboxie ? Compatible or "only one way or the highway"...

 

Wouldn't it be better if it limited on that CLT leaktest, and overall, if such action occurs - atleast on that leaktest, but please mention a situation where this would not be a good choice. I just can't seem to figure one which would indeed make such a prompt occur.
