Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0.142

Advertisement (Why?)

Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus (KAV) provides all types of anti-virus protection: anti-virus scan-ners, monitors, behavior blockers and integrity checkers. It supports all of the most popular operating systems, e-mail gateways and firewalls. KAV controls all possible virus entry points. Kaspersky Lab's powerful and flexible local and network management tools for auto-mation and centralized installation and control over anti-virus protection provide maximum convenience and minimum time wasted when building your own structure of an anti-virus de-fense.

What's New:

Now OnDemand Scanner operates in SafeMode.
The application can be installed/uninstalled in SafeMode.
The name of a detected virus is displayed in MailChecker reports.
Detailed reports are now generated for the MailChecker component.
The application installed on laptops provides excellent support for power saving mode.
The application supports PAE mode (compatibility with Windows XP SP2).
The license key used with the previous version of the application can now be used with the new version if the application has been upgraded.

Known problems:

When OnDemand Scanner is scanning messages containing RAR archives, an application error occurs on the Exchange server.
The application is incompatible with the WinMagic application.
When scanning extremely large files, the application "freezes" if someone tries to unload it from memory.
OAS can occur when suspicious or warning objects are placed manually to the quarantine. The disinfect dialog box for the quarantined object is displayed.
There are some non-localized messages (only in English) in the MailChecker module.
The application does not prompt for password when scanning protected archives placed to the quarantine by the user.
The MailChecker component works incorrectly with the Magic Mail Monitor application if the mail is collected at startup: message headers cannot be downloaded from the mail server (improper use of the POP3 protocol by the Magic Mail Monitor application).

One of the BEST AVs around!

P.S. I can confirm that "processing error" issues with some kinds of scanning archives is GONE!
This new build is pretty stable, and i've not seen any bugs yet

I've been using a test version of it and so far I like it better than Norton's. Coming closer to buying a copy of it.

#3.1 sadatkarim on 23 Jun 2004 - 00:15

Anything is better than Norton, even Mcafee

This is the download link

Hmm i have the Worksations Bussines pack. (5 licences)

I wonder when will they update the workstation version

P.S. KAV rulz.

You can have the best mail AV protection using KAV + The Bat!.
The bat comes with a special plugin for KAV.

I dont keep KAV loaded in memory, but the mail plugin is loaded when The bat! is opened, so no more POP3 protocol level scanning like Norton

Still waiting for Pro. I hate the way they simplified the interface. It may appeal to some, but not to me. ConFigurAbiliTy or BusT
