Kaspersky Antivirus and Internet Security 2009 Release


Recommended Posts

i actually uninstalled kav 2009 until its released officially. i went with antivir premium, they were giving away free one year licenses. :woot:

plus ive been reading about avira having almost a 100% detection rate. its voted one of the best av's out there in 2008.

not that i totally gave up on kaspersky, but i feel they got some work to be done before the 2009 product is totally finished.

Free License. W00tz0r.

I ran a trial of Avira but it missed a few samples that I collected and verified Kaspersky 2009 detected and Avira didn't.

I don't totally trust AV-Comparatives. I think their methodology might be skewed.

Also, the Release Note (KAV09), Release Note (KIS09) are available now for Kaspersky 2009 products.

im sure i will give kaspersky a whirl again once my license expires.

I bought a licence for KAV2009. Hope I won't regret it.

(Y) I think you'll be just fine. If you do need help, PM me (or post on Neowin) and I will do the best I can to help you out.

Otherwise join the Kaspersky Forums (I'm there too :D ), there's lots of very knowledgeable people there.

You won't. Kaspersky 2009 is the the best AV/Firewall solution I've ever used. I have KIS 2009 and it runs like an absolute dream, whereas KAV/KIS 7 was kinda clunky.

Well I been using it all day.

Notice a much bigger difference then ESET Smart Security "Business Edition" or whatever it was. My system doesn't lag opening files, browsing the web, etc. Works like a dream! Performance seems on par.

Stupid question but...does Kaspersky Internet Security include "anti-virus / scanning"? I could've sworn it does.

Other then that, I love it!

edit: omg lmao. for anyone who read that, i didn't mean sister, i mean't system.

Yes. You get Anti-Malware (Anti-virus etc.) included in Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. :happy:

I uninstalled Kaspersky 7 to Install Kaspersky 2009 - yes. I don't see a problem with this procedure.

You didn't have trouble with NOD32? How about the system using 100% CPU for what seems like an eternity when a downloaded ZIP file is being scanned? And I guess having to uninstall the last version of NOD32 to install the latest build of NOD32 is totally different to the procedure of updating Kaspersky to the latest version? :D

If you like, wait until it's officially released. :happy:

I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 now and I'm very pleased. The software is less resource hungry and faster than Kaspersky 7.

So really it's your call. No one here is pressuring you to change to Kaspersky 2009 product, many think Kaspersky 2009 products are a huge leap forward in performance and security from the last release - but all software has bugs.

You a Kaspersky sales man or something?? :p I mean, this new KIS 2009 is nice and spiffy, but even the russian build was rebuilt.. This TR still has a lot of bugs.. No rebuild has been announced yet, but in the past before retail, 3 versions were rebuilt..

This one I have a few gripes about.. ANd yes, I have been a kaspersky user since 1999.. (Even a Best tester up to 2004)..

- On some systems, this version can hog up to 300MB's of ram under certain conditions..

- Won't run on a MS Virtual PC correctly.. Will work fine tho in VMWare 6.0.3-80004

-Missed about 12 files infected that I have thrown at it out of about 300. (Nice archive of virii on CD's from when I when I analyzed them)

- Firewall says a threat has been found if you block too many ports (Not talking about ALL ports! :p ) and unblocks them automatically sometimes

- Crashes os scanning a file over 20GB's (Like a HDD image from Acronis), just locks up and freezes till a GPF comes up.

-And of course, cosmetic problems but thats expected. Nothing is gonna work 100%.

I have installed this on my machine and must say it is still the best AV around, but, I don't think this will be final as Kaspersky in an E-Mail has notified me that they have heard these problems from a few other users and they intent to look into it.. Still more spiffy than v7. I am just using the KAV for now. I will go with KIS when I can actually not worry about it opening ports on me. :(

Three questions:

1.It plays well with Vista 64bit?

2.What is the latest version/build of Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

3.What are the differences between kis.en.msi and kis8.0.0.357en.exe here:

http://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/TR/KIS/

just the installer?

Might have to give this a try... Nod32 is quite notorious for missing things, not often it happens but it does...

Hopefully Kasperskis ultra slow scanner is fixed (Ver 5 and 7 I hated - EVEN On WD Raptor)

The scanner is a lot faster in Kaspersky 2009. :happy:

by the way anyone know when gold might come out?

I believe that June is what Kaspersky is aiming at for Gold release.

And from the feedback I read, I think it's going to be a newer compile than the Technical Release.

so if I replace beta serial number with my license, this will likely work?

edit: hrm no, it says invalid license

Worked for me. :huh: Maybe you need to remove the beta license key first? Maybe do an uninstall / reinstall. The TR never gave the option to gave a beta key.

Also. Patch A has come down to Kaspersky 2009 products. Some fixes. Unsure what, but everything is working well.

Cool, seems like this version has improved performance and scanning speed. i'll try this out when it becomes final.

Btw zer0l0gic what are you trying to show there?

Just showing that there is an 'a' patch released for the TR.

:happy:

Currently I'm playing with AntiVir though.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
