Kingsoft Antivirus 2012 [Cloud]

+1

 

Next update should be within this week.

 

Very good suggestions, we'll try to register KAV as anti-spyware first. And then review the warning pop up for better design.

 

Looks like the 4th icon (KSC Cloud) gets greyed out when you open the settings and browse through it (without changing anything). I did an Anti-Hack scan, quick scan and it was still enabled. After opening the settings, going through all the categories and just closing the settings and the 4th icon was grey.

I'll check it out some more but it looks like this is reproducible.

EDIT:
Is the lack of enabled 4th icon only affecting on-demand scans or is also affecting real-time protection?

 

This is only related to on-demand scan.

 

Ok then there is no real problem till it gets fixed.

I've found another a bit confusing thing...

Click on "Kingsoft Cloud Connected" in the lower left corner and see the returned value:

1277.05 ten thousands

Is it just me or is this value very confusing? I'm not even sure what it's suppose to mean. It would be better to just write it down in full numerical way using second line and reorder it a bit (words and also add separators for every 3 digits). Like this:

In past 24 hours, Kingsoft Cloud has blocked 1.277.050.000 malware samples

This would look much better (assuming word "ten thousand" meant additional 4 zeros).

 

yes, this is really a headache to move from the 10000 into 1000. We'll change it in next release.

 

You are right...I only watched the settings and the icon was already grey
To the blocked malware samples...now I know it was mistake but few minutes earlier thought that it's true...I compared this result with ThreatFire today's statistic because they are impessive

BTW...why scrennshots of new Kingsoft AV on Softpedia show some nonexistent "Tools" module?

What result do you have after comparison? I havent noticed any the nonexistent "Tools" module, could you please give me some tips?

 

And what number is proper?...1.277.050.000 or 127.705.000? OK...community of TF is probably no so large as Kingsoft...TF was only example how many threads can be analysed by AV developers...nothing more

Screenshots form No 5 to 11...I downloaded new copy from Softpedia and I haven't such module...or am I blind?

 

@ichito
I think those screenshots on SoftPedia are from the old version of Kingsoft Antivirus Free. I mean the interface looks very different. Only the first image is from the new Kingsoft Cloud...

edit: Softpedia posted only one screenshot from the new version. Someone is lazy....

 

Thanks RejZoR and PaulBB...I was already afraid

 

lol Yes, it is!

 

Hi RejZoR, can you provide the samples which can repro ths issue?

Thanks

 

It doesn't matter what you use, they just have to come through IE.

 

Update logs are also weird...

It just successfully auto-updated (got the blue popup about auto update) but the log says "Update failed". All the entries under this position say "Success". So why does it says Update failed if it was successful!?

The "Explain" column is also strange. It just says "Manual Update" for everything, even though half of them should be Automatic Update.

I think it would be better to change the title of "Explain" column to "Description".

 

Yes, you're right. The update logs is incorrect. The wrong strings is link to automatic update. This will also be fixed in next release.

 

it keeps freezing when detecting malware and trying to scan from context menu. i`m on win xp he sp3 x86

 

A question, is free for home use or for commercial use too?
Thanks.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you using KAV with other security software? What about you Internet connection? when is scan hanging, quick scan, full scan or custom scan?

 

does this work alongside other existing security products..?
I have avast and online armor installed.will this program run ok with these.?

 

I tried it and then uninstall KAV, because it has one of the 4 engines disabled bydefault and could not be enabled. It was the engine heuristic cloud engine under scanning page where it says quadropled engines. only 3 were enabled. An AV without heuristic engines on is no no in my book.

By the way I tested it on a 64bit win 7 home permium with KPC wiuth antimalware and MSE.

Therefore I uninstalled it and am using malwarbyte pro instead. Hopefuly Kingsoft will fix this issue. I eben posted on their forum and Is aw I was the one who has the issue.

 

if you read some post here you can see that you are not alone, almost every pc with 64bit is in the same situation and me too. Is disabled when you simply look at the setting and don't come back to live.
Kingsoft I think is investigating the issue because is easy to repproduce, and it will be fixed asap, probably this week, we would always remeber this is the first step for a new software so is normal have some issue nothing is perfect

 

Who knows any tests of the av? I know only languy99's review.
