Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009: Critical Fix 2 (version 8.0.0.506)


Recommended Posts

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


does this still crash explorer when scanning archives or files/folder on vista 32bit systems? it kept on doing so on mine :(

edit : nvm -> this seems to fix my problems...? strange, and my system seems snappier...?.....

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.

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

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...

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
