On 19th November, 2008 Kaspersky Labs announces release of Critical Fix 2 for Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009. The full version number is 8.0.0.506.

IMPROVEMENTS compared to version 8.0.0.454:

* Application self-defense has been improved to resist malicious programs attempts to modify its own files.

* Interaction with Microsoft Windows Security Center.

* Application reaction when malicious programs are trying to put a computer clock forward.

Known issues:

* During first launch of very large (1 GB and larger) executables Kaspersky Anti-Virus analyzes them for a long time (5-10 minutes) displaying no information to users.

* While the virus scan task is running, the counter of checked objects in the report window is not updated. Correct value is only displayed when the task completes.

* Extra Help link appears in the password entry dialog during scanning of password-protected archives. Pressing the link is identical to pressing the Skip button.

* The Security Analyzer Wizard can recognize incorrectly the Windows Update settings in Microsoft Windows Vista.

* If the virus scan task is configured in the Run mode to run After update, the task starts only if the application database has been updated successfully during an update session.

* If you are working with programs running in full-screen mode, the pop-up windows of Kaspersky Anti-Virus may blink. To activate pop-up windows, left-click with the mouse in any part of a pop-up window, then the window of the running full-screen application window will be minimized.

In order to install Critical Fix 2, do the following:

* download version 8.0.0.506 from the Kaspersky Lab?s official site: http://www.kaspersky.com/productupdates

* run the downloaded file

* install the latest product version

* restart your computer

I think if auto update recently asked you to restart you computer, then you don't have to download this manually.

AFAIK this update must be downloaded from the Kaspersky website, that is the only way you can get this new version.

If you choose not to get this new version, the previous Kaspersky Antivirus / Internet Security updates it self with Patch C. But I don't think this is the same as this new version.

I'm fairly sure it is the same. But then after reading their forums, i'm not 100%, it would be great if somone could find an official answer.

:rolleyes:

Very funny how in late 2008 Kaspersky is still not able to integrate itself in Windows Security Center although the APIs are well documented on MSDN web site since years!

I sit just me? As in--why does Kaspersky AV update the databases all the time but hardly ever updates the program modules?

Even though I have it set to update both database and program. Manually downloading program updates seems a bit crappy, how do I know the program has been updated? I shouldn't have to find out for myself. Specially as I paid for an app that includes updates.

Kaspersky releases hotfixes, which are program module updates.

If you need to update whole version, then you need to download the whole installer. I personally believe this is safer way. As one can not know if newer version introduces system issues or not, it's not IMHO wise to force version updates to users :)

You can see your version/hotfix for example via tray icon -> about, mine is 8.0.0.454 (a.b.c) meaning .454 with hotixes a through c.

And no, that would be a hotfix, not a new version, sry :)

yes, but how are we certain that the hotfix does not make the same changes as the new build ? that is the issue in question here...

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      See if this article I wrote the other day works for you.
