Any info on whats new in this release?

 

Well the first things i've noticed , are the new and really nice Icons

 

Maybe something to do with this thread at Kaspersky Support Forum?

This thread is related to: This link at Security Focus: Kaspersky Anti-Virus Klif.Sys Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

 

Releasenotes here .

 

been running it a couple of hours now. i dont notice anything different apart from fancier and more glossy icons. seems as fast as *.325 which was really fast here compared to older versions

 

Fancier and more glossy icons? *drool*

Good, good. I like fancy icons

 

RAM usage is also higher, now around ~32mb and with .325 around ~25mb...

 

21 mb +2 mb here

I formatted because of that on one of my pc's.

 

Downer for me. I want less ram useage or the same. O. k. if it rose tiny bit over several version upgrades.

 

I just got my 5.0325 setup how i like it.

is there anyway i can update without unistalling and reinstalling.

 

@ Anthony. Use the Maintenance pack.

A little confusing, as they have the same download package under 2 different names!

But you can install either "The Latest Version" or "MP3" over v.5.0.325.

 

So far as memory goes, the new version swaps out, just like the last two. total active memory for the two services is about 4mb. Process explorer shows about 140mb total virtual size, about the same as the last version of KAV. Compared to what some of the other popular AV's do to your system, KAV is hardly a problem.
