    I think it's best not to post when a new build is out, since they are released very frequently. Those who are interested should look at the official beta-testing forum section. :)

    No probs. Only did this time because it was noted here that .310 was withdrawn so wanted the thread updated to show those issues potentially resolved.

    Those interested will find out for themselves I'm sure.

    Cheers

    It is still not supporting windows server os since v6. Hope it will support server 2003 on workstation box. It is preferred to windows server 2003 over windows xp. With 4GB ram, windows 2003 can detect and work at full capacity.
    Another candidate a-squared Anti-Malware 4.0, supports all the lastest windows os includes new coming out 2008 server os.

    It will not support WS2003, as this is not a product a normal home user would use- with it being a server, only the business line products will work.

    Regarding WHS, I think there has been some discussion about supporting it although I am not sure the demand for this OS is that high.

    yeah, I dont like it either. There will definitely be changes in later builds, you should see them out quite soon.

    Good to know, Baz. I'd like to see something quite minimalist just like this. Although I think this could be too much to ask for Kaspersky :)

    kaspersky's GUI's have never been all that simple, but theyve all been pretty easy to navigate still, except this one.

    I'm with you on this, Mac. GDATA has always been ahead of other AV companies, GUI wise, that is :)

    yes GDATA does have a nicely layed out interface, i like it, Avira also has a pretty simple GUI, although pretty boring to look at :p

    I installed 2010 Beta yesterday and updated the virus definitions without any problem., then was prompted to reboot.

    Upon reboot, BSOD.
    -Rebooted-
    -Memory dump, reboot, BSOD.
    -Rebooted in safe mode; BSOD.
    -Rebooted, BSOD.
    -Uninstsalled.

    Perhaps the next version will be available very soon and will be much more stable.
    I'm a big kaspersky fan and realize this was an early beta offering. Based on what little I was able to see (I did enter the configuration settings and looked around), 2010 seems about as straightforward as 2009.
    As for the GUI, I'm undecided; I tend to accept cosmetic changes a little slower that most, I suppose. Still, I foresee no problem getting used to it.

    Here are some slight GUI modifications in build 340.

    (P.S it's not recommended to look at the LED globe for long periods, you might get blind :p)

    Looks better atleast. :) Personally I've to say Symantec and Prevx has made most progress when it comes to the GUI IMO, just to name two examples. They're the first that come to mind.

    Ofc every non-average Joe user knows this, but it's still the first thing that reaches every user - and everytime he or she's to use or change something in the program. That's why there are many discussions about it when people aren't satisfied with what they see. They're going to see it very frequently afterall. ;)

    These programs need to go back to the basics..

    1. have a smart scanner/cleaner before it boots OS
    2. behavioral first contact (built-in) thus no need for third person software
    3. be able to have smart active feature to scan/repair/patch OS

    Btw: I see you have changed your mine on renewal program. I had looked into that one but wasn't impressed. Have you ever tried SocketShield, but now that company developed your Link Scanner has been taken over by AVG folks.

    Well i guess their reasoning might be "attract as much attention to the traffic light as possible so people know if there is a problem"

    green=all good

    yellow=attention

    red=alert

    I would guess that feature is included in the LinkScanner as it does block exploits.

    You have to like a man, who keeps his sense of humor. Kaspersky will get it right before final release.

    You're right, Jas. Gdata's GUI is certainly a beauty to the eyes ;)

    Back to topic, I plan to test the new KAV 2010 beta when it's in its final stages.
