AOL killed kaspersky AVS updates?

[Digitalx]

Just checking if anyone else has noticed or effected by this.

I'm still using kaspersky based aol anti-virus shield it had been working and updating fine since they change to mcafee though my signatures i've noticed are set at 8/31/2007 and when i try running update it goes "update is not required"

Is this all normal behavior ? or has aol officially slashed kaspersky based updates and i need to move to something else cause damned if i'm touching mcafee again :|

AOL no longer has contract with Kaspersky so all updates to the AOL-based Kaspersky will no longer be available. If you want AOL free antivirus software. you will need to get their McAfee one - which sucks from what I have been reading on the reviews.

no place i can change update server to kasperskys or anything heh ?

[soldier1st]

only if u remove it and install the official kaspersky product,i know mcafee stinks.

Don't use AOL. Problem solved

[Digitalx]

wasn't a problem with AOL kaspersky is a high quality anti virus just because it had an aol image on the software proved no reason to not use it.

I haven't used AOL's AVS, but did you try manually updating it? I've used another kaspersky based scanners and manually updating the defs work.

Since AOL pulled the plug I get - UPDATE FAILED: Incorrect Signature

Just add the entry:

Code:

127.0.0.1 download.newaol.com

to your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, and then AOL will use kaspersky servers for updates.. ....

If for any reason you decided to change, NOD32 v3.0 Beta 2 is free currently and is running great so far :)
