Kingsoft Antivirus 2012 [Cloud]

Interesting review of kingsoft here.It is failed by the reviewer.
http://youtu.be/Fhz7qW2-IWA
Any explanations why it fails so badly in this review.?

 

The full installer with the local av database. Look on the main page, it's below the main download button in small letters. I believe it uses the Avira engine and the Blue engine while the cloud version uses the Blue engine.

 

Why do they make both available? It's confusing.

I like the idea of getting the Avira defs, but are they continuing development on a free product that is barely noticeable on the download page?

Do they want us to use it, or just use the cloud version?

Which one are the majority of us using?

 

Here is another Review....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aath0a5zbPc&list=UUVKdVQzWWRihBrttJ5bNIfA&feature=plcp

 

as far as i understood , both are the same.

light install
full install

the kingsoft folder size from a light install after getting updates would be exactly like the full install one.

but the truth is what that Selina will say

 

That is the test vedio of SP4.0, we are improving the detection rate step by step, we collect virus samples from many ways as from VirusTotal, other company, virus website, etc, and many users help to upload the samples to us everyday. We will continue to do this with our best.
If any samples can not be detected, please contact us.

User Gill Gates shared another video in our forum, it is the test video on SP5:

Thank you selina.

 

Good questions. I have used the cloud version for 2 1/2 months now and it seems really solid.

I guess I may have mis-stated that the full version uses the Avira engine. I really don't know if it does but it does use Avira's defs.

When I posted the other day I installed the full version on a friends PC and was surprised to see that it did not update SP5.1.

 

The full version is a solution for a part of offline users, perhaps it will not be updated for a long time.
The Cloud version will be continuous updated, we recommend you to keep this version.

 

Good enough. Thank you very much.

 

I am going to ask again.
Why did kingsoft do so badly in the video review i posted before.
Anyone got any ideas?

 

See reply 581 above

 

That reply did not clarify anything.all mumbo jumbo.
Does anybody else have any ideas on why kingsoft failed in the video.
It was tested by a well known tester and it failed miserably.Any explanations on this.?

 

It's an old program version in that video.

How well would Avast 5 or Panda Cloud version 1.0 do these days?

 

Is Kingsoft using a lot of handles for anyone else? Just noticed it's using over 5,000 for me at the moment. KXESCORE along is using 4,900.

 

kaspersky 2012 is using ~29000 handles on my system.

 

Hi

Is the Forum down

 

Another cloud AV, another AV that sucks at detection. Sorry improve your game Kingsoft.

 

Wow.

Please do ignore the above comment, Kingsoft.

 

Yeah it seems that he dislikes fully cloud powered AVs in general

 

Because they suck in detection. Sorry but that's the truth. But kudos for making it FREE.

 

The video is only a month old.
And the reviewer was using an updated version of kingsoft.
So why did it fail so badly.?.People should watch the review and see that it performs very badly.
Any ideas why this is so?

 

Because it's not a proper test.

 

Hmm well what constitutes a proper test .
It seemed fairly conclusive to me and the reviewer has been testing products for years.Im still not convinced.
Any ideas why kingsoft failed in this test!!

 

It failed because it didn't detect some of the samples.I try different avs regularly and test them against stuff on the common malware sites.All of them fail at some time.There'snnothing surprising about that.That's how most Avs work..playing catch up
