I'll enable network settings to fully use WebAV on patch C and see if there will be any noticeable speed change after patch D is released.

 

[amirr]

What you will enable in Network Settings to fully use WebAV?

What you will enable in Network Settings to fully use WebAV?

I reenabled options that are on by default but I disabled them before - script injection, https scanning...

 

[amirr]

What made you change your decision?

I re-enabled it to see if patch D will noticeably improve it's speed. It's easier to compare if I re-enable it before D is released.Changelog for D says:

Hello, I had patch C in my KAV and lost my patience so I went to cmd shell, navigate to where avp.com is and execute update from this url=avp.com update Index of /ap2/, rebooted and now I have patch E in my KAV, how bad could be to do this? thanks!

The patch will be installed. To check if the patch was installed successfully, open the application window and click the Support icon in the lower-left corner. The information about the application version will be available in the window that opens. The version number will have the letter d added.

well, it was very bad...

with patch E my KAV stopped working after a few reboots so I had to uninstall and then reinstall it, after that I still got only patch C so I went and removed the 2 at the end of the update url and force the antivirus to update from there, luckily this time I got the right patch (D) and everything is fine now.

who said you can't force the update? take that kaspersky!

 

[harlan4096]

Exactly! You did wrong doing that!

Using Index of /ap2/, which is a beta server, is not recommended at all!! Patch E has not been even announced, so I don't understand why You changed to beta server...

There is a "Windows registry hack" explained lots of times here in the forum, to accelerate the getting of a patch, BUT NEVER CHANGE TO THE BETA SERVER...

I didn't know that url was a beta server.

 

[harlan4096]

That server is used in beta versions only: Patch D for KAVKISKTSKFA 2021 MR3 / KS / VPN / KSOS

 

[Freud2004]

I didn't know that url was a beta server.

For me this trick just work fine:

patch (XXXX) has forced with this hack

1. Disable self-protection
2. Close Kaspersky
3. Run regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\KasperskyLab\AVP21.1\environment
4. Edit the key UpdateTarget and set the value to 200
5. Run Kaspersky
6. Re-enable Self-protection
7. Update and restart.

I made some alterations to the hack, copy the original registry value to a txt, do the hack, before restart I just restore the value from origin.

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, this is the registry hack I meant in my previous post...

Thanks, maybe some day I'll try this trick.

I got the d patch with registry change. the question is should we change back to original or not because it seems the 200 value in registry does have a better patch and overall update performance. @harlan4096 you are a super active Kaspersky member not just here but overall in forums and etc... . can you ask a high level person about this registry thing, do you have access? thanks. because I'm deciding to keep this to 200. is there any harm in it?

edit : I searched a lot about this registry thing in your posts and on internet. so sorry if I asked here. couldn't find some info about this and what it does. the fun part is the update server will not change and it is the same as before. but it will get the patch and updates.
edit 2 : I found a post you had about this registry change that you said it was for another person. if its possible for you can you get some more info about it

edit 3: ok found some info , moderators and some experienced people in Kaspersky forum suggested this to companies and persons who want to get the patches asap. Like for when they have an specific problem that is resolved in a released patch. this method is just different in patch priority download and all other updates are normal. and from what I read about it you can keep it in 200 there is no harm in it. yet I hope harlan find more info from high level people.

 

[harlan4096]

I would just keep that value, changing it may lead to issues...

 

[Game Of Thrones]

I would just keep that value, changing it may lead to issues..

yeah. i will keep 200 although i changed once to the default 143402 then again to 200. do you suggest a clean install because of this change. seems everything is ok.
