Advice Request How many MalwareTips members are using Kaspersky 2016?

[carl fish]

I was wondering how many people use Kaspersky 2016 that are on MalwareTips? I was also wanting to ask if had any problems when trying to renew it. If you aren't using Kaspersky, why aren't you?

I have used kaspersky for 6 years but when I tried to renew it ,the web page showed no option to renew it. There support was of no use and their forum is infested with moderator having "I am always right attitude" so I have switched over to emsisoft

I have used Kaspersky Internet Security for the last 6 years also, but now I am trialing different AV's.

When KIS 2017 comes out, I will give it a spin.

To renew, for India for example, just go to Kaspersky global site, then online-shop -> select Your country -> and then in India site I'm watching directly a link with renew option on the left... so, in a few clicks You can access.

I don't think Kaspersky forum moderators have that attitude, in fact I'm Mod there for Spanish users

 

[carl fish]

what about if you are in Australia because that's where i live and i do get the error

 

[harlan4096]

The same way and You'll get this site: Official Online Store - Kaspersky Lab Australia & New Zealand

I voted "I have tried Kaspersky.." i was using Kaspersky Small Office Security more than 2 years on my 3 other family member laptops who is working from home. I have replaced KSOS this year with other product, It was too heavy, everything felt slugish and price for renewal is just bs. Other than that, no complaints, i would try Kaspersky products in future.

My vote was "I have tried Kaspersky..".
At home, we'd installed Kaspersky (trial) once because at that time we were searching for a worthy replacement AV/or Security Suite to ESET NOD 32. This was not (technically) version 2016, and was approx. 2 years ago. The reason we did not remain with Kaspersky, then, was an incompatibility with Windows 7 SP 1 on our Vaio lap top. Now, we are using Windows 10 systems on (2) computers, and with open attitudes, we would try Kaspersky once more with optimism.

Sir ,renew option is there but it takes you nowhere after checking the key it is back to square one I have also tried it through my kaspersky account.
I am talking about Mod for English user since I am not fortunate enough to have learn Spanish
P.S. I do not know why but all my systems love kaspersky,it has always been the lightest AV on my systems out of all the security softwares from Russia to America

 

[harlan4096]

Maybe an issue with the site? anyway probably You can buy also licenses in Amazon a good/better price and no need to be a renewed ones.

I voted: I have tried Kaspersky 2016, however I'm using another security product right now
KIS was light when I used it. I just wanted to explore other security software. I might come back to it sooner or later.

Spoiler: OT

Regarding K Mods, one of them is, for me, "insensitive". He's very strict with forum rules, that he wants you to confine yourself in a box, and then when you go out, you're out completely. That's just my feeling, though.
@harlan4096 is one of the K mods I only like.

I have used the 2015 version just to test and I found it very heavy on my system (for my taste)
I prefer lighter more user friendly security software, I have no intention of installing
2016 version. I too rather employ EmsiSoft, its lighter and more accurate with the
BD engine.

if you ever have any problem, just ask harlan, either here on MT, or on kaspersky forum. He's the man.

harlan speaks english. he has helped me many times in english language.

I have never used Kaspersky security software on my host PC, ever.

 

[shmu26]

I have used it, and I liked it, but I switched because it doesn't always combine so successfully with other security products, and also because I found Trusted Applications Mode a bit hard to handle.
It is very solid protection, and does not cause slow-down on windows 10.

 

[Xtwillight]

My Vote: "I have never used any Kaspersky 2016 product"
Why:
Since 2009 is Kaspersky AV / IS getting bigger and technically complex
Problems with drivers and games
to Deeply integrated in the OS, If error pass there are Difficulties these to fix.

My Secure: Emsi IS and Malwarebytes pro

As per price is concerned it is availble at much cheaper price at shops then any online store it is their customer support that forced me out

can I ask why?

You are right , People here on MT are always ready to help but is it not the responsibility of the company , earning money from me
