K7's Firewall is great if you configure correctly.almost block all malicious connection.
K7's BB is top notch. Some time it can beat Kaspersky.(Yeah! That's what i experience)
K7's Script protection is improving but very slowly.V.T: VirusTotal(06/61)
K7's virus submition is good.

Waiting for it's new version... Let's see. It's very lightweight also.

Currently only small patches are released. Any news for Vr.18? Yeah very little system impact because of retro GUI Engines that K7 use. No fancy Ux is some time benefits for everyone.K7 is gem of india . Quick heal is laging systems but getting all the attention from markets. Nobody ask K7.

I have the K7 Ultimate Lifetime Edition. Not sure if it has "MAT" or not..... Would you care to share your K7 Settings with us?

K7 Firewall isn't that good to my experience, it does autoallow processes (like explorer, powershell, wscript) despite being set to "ask". The learning mode is greyed out and cannot be activated.
For this reason, I combined it with Evorim Free Firewall.
Apart from that, I'm very happy with it, and recently bought another lifetime key (it was on Black Friday Sale).
Script are indeed the weakness, however can be mitigated well by blocking Powershell and wscript / cscript IMO.

Would be interested as well, whether regular Ultimate and Ultimate Lifetime make a difference regarding MAT. Support does not give a proper answer. Also not regarding a new release.

For M@T or Non M@T:No difference is visible outside, I think it's more internal improvements in Behaviour Blocker/Ransomware protection which is now more refined and reactive then last time i used.(2017)

BTW I received a coupon code from K7 to upgrade 2 or 3 years license with 3 months extra validity but they confirmed that it'll not work if Windows 10 will ends then I have to migrate with s#it Windows 11 otherwise licence will not work. Means I have to upgrade to nasty windows 11 to continue 2 or 3 years license of K7 Total Security MAT edition. Very annoying

No hope for Windows 11 24H2. Its house of Bugs... currently on 23H2 i will wait until next version release by Windows! Skipping 24H2
Or block the Updates which is not recommended but it will save you from unnecessary things. Only allow the security updates.

ShadowDefender does not work on Win11 24H2 (at least not w/o workaround by the time i upgraded), and i do not have a VM employed, so i stopped testing, but I'm pretty sure the issue persists.
If you have a VM, you might want to double-check, simply get a bunch of scriptors from MlwrBazaar (abusech), and remove wscript and and others from the rules list. Once trying to call out, they should appear, being autotrusted (prompt for action setting in firewall).

You can use Deep freeze software by Faronics.
It's a awesome software. I am using this as a SD alternative.

@Captain Awesome -- what does Deep Freeze standard version cost? and question often install requires reboot, how do you reboot to new install without reverting? short answer or link ok, I skimmed their website some of it not obvious (to me). & if running VMware workstation (free) how does it differ from VM snapshot...?

 

[Captain Awesome]

It's costly likely USD $41.99 for one workstation for 1 year. It's not for regular users.
