    And people are saying that it's so lighter as compared to its predecessor.

    Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

    Why users keep assessing security software based on RAM usage it's a mistery to me. RAM usage says nothing about lightness of a tool. Actually maximizing use of available RAM can speed up substantially the performance of a software as compared to swapping data to the HD.:thumbd:

    Is that during an on-demand scan? High resource usage is to be expected during a scan.

    Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

    One thing I do find interesting is that only Kaspersky USA has released this build. Normally Kaspersky UK are the first (2012 was released in June 2011 in the UK and on the Global website, then September 2011 in the States), it's still not listed in the Kaspersky Support website (see http://support.kaspersky.com/desktop) and it's not mentioned on the Global website (http://www.kaspersky.com), which is usually the first to launch the latest release.

    Very odd.

    Me too. I am actually quite impressed. It it noticeably more polished than the last beta I tested. And if you are running Windows 8 you can go the the Windows app store and addon Kaspersky Now. I think I will find the news feeds interesting.

    Indeed! This has to be one of the better releases from my memory! Finally lower cpu resources, during normal usage! Also safe money modules are highly effective against the latest and greatest banking malware which is what matters most! Good job KL! :thumb:

    If it turns out to be heavy again like its predecessor, then it's a huge flop for me.

    Huh! KIS 2013 is running pretty good on my Pentium 4 machine and my i7 rig! I think you may have a confilct on your machine! Maybe you should contact KL directly.

    Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

    Agree, too many people still don't realize this and come to incorrect conclusions.
    How quickly things run and the "feel" of performance is more important than the Task Manager graph and numbers going up and down.
    (Ofcourse we need "feel" and performance without sacrificing security of-course - can always lower security settings to make it feel quicker - which is one of the flaws of antivirus performance/speed tests - default or max settings are not like-for-like across each AV).

    Have you gave it a little time? Initial scanning of files and first runs of applications will be slow (or take up more RAM/CPU) by design.
    Of-course, other running software may also impact this - especially backup, defrag or security software.

    Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

    ... and as you would expect RAM usage it's not an indication on how good or bad a software is since you have all sort of positive and negative feedback in here.

    Conclusion: Do not just rely on other users experience, try it yourself; that's the only way not to get fooled (both way). ;)

    Indeed! I don't understand this either. Most pc's these days have around 4 GB's of memory stock!

    Re: KAV/KIS 2013 Beta

    Downloaded from Kaspersky USA and running fine here on my laptop (which only has 2GB RAM). Just a feeling but initial impression is I think a little quicker and 'smoother' that KIS2012. (I appreciate one man's 'smooth' is another mans bloat hog, but each to their own).

    I have run a full scan and i dont have any other software that might conflict with it
    It just doesnt feel light - it just feels normal
    or maybe after using Kingsoft i feel kis is heavy
