Kaspersky AV/IS/TS 2017

Beta testing of 2017 version has started. You can check the beta section for the latest versions https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=16

First released version is 17.0.0.225. As always, first betas are unstable and with non-working features.

The notable changes are a VPN (called Secure connection) for unsecure Wi-Fi networks, Software updater and a manual removal of installed adware (called Software cleaner).

 

Looks interesting but I will wait a few builds before testing it out.

 

Uninstalled because endless start <-> crash <-> start .....

Performance was very good (until I updated/rebooted and problems happened). The new features are nice. Interface itself not changed but maybe it's coming but I'm not really GUI fetish.

 

Are there any more screenshots, what about the HIPS?

 

The inbuilt VPN feature is most interesting.

 

Agreed but only for Wifi.

Btw I'm a bit worried about the software updater, because it could be compromised to download infected stuff I hope this channel is protected against mitm attacks.

 

I cant seem to get "secure connection" to install.

 

It's not available for testing currently.

 

Beta testing is near Release candidate/RTM phase. You can grab the latest beta build from here, build number 17.0.0.577 https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=352643

 

which one are you guys doing? KAV, KIS, KSOS, or KTS

thanks

 

Thanks!

 

I just installed build 17.0.0.577 for testing. Seems to run better than the release versions of 2016. Liking it so far. No obvious issues.

 

Beta license code to use?; activate trial version is no longer present in GUI and beta codes listed on Forum are now blacked out; https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=161942

 

Those are just spoiler tags, you can still select the blacked out text.

The codes should still work.

 

@3x0gR13N

Many Thanks

 

They worked for me. I am surprised at how well this build is running. No issues whatsoever so far.

 

True! Same here... Impressive.

 

When wi'll the official release be released then ?

 

If previous years are an indication... They usually finish a Technical Release (TR) sometime in June or July. If you're lucky you can find the one that takes retail keys (this has not yet happened). The official release usually seems to be about September, though they roll it out at different times for different regions.

 

...and the RC is out: https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=353237

 

Thanks for the link. What build is what though?

 

Both FTP and Cloud links point to the same installers. Standard naming scheme for installers applies as always. Or am I misunderstanding something?

 

Today the technical 2017 MR0 release was signed... forum kaspersky say..

 

What does that mean MR0 release?
