When they refunded me recently, I also did not get any email notification.
Thank you for letting me know!
They told me they investigate why there was no information.
However, i have received the refund on my CC today, so I don‘t care.
Still worrysome CS IMO.
It appeared they had ignored my refund request. But when I used their online chat a few days ago, they said I had already been refunded and soon after that I received it.

Apart from above mails, haven’t received any information on refund since my first contact.
Yesterday the person I had contact with told me refund can take up to 7 workdays.
Maybe I‘m to picky when it comes to information transfer…

Hello, K7 TS with MAT is working good ??I'm running K7 TS 17.0.0962, with MAT.
=>QUESTION: How do I disable (turn off) the firewall?
PS-- I used to have a way to do this but that way is no longer available.

It worked splendidly -- VERY light on your computer system, fairly granular settings, speedy scans. Overall, it's a very adequate antivirus app and has a LOW price.
The only downside is that its firewall CANNOT be disabled, in case you want to run a different firewall.

They redesigned their website product page & claimed that Antivirus Premium also have AI powered protection ( MAT )

I wonder if K7 developers have finally made MAT available to existing subscribers? If not, they are being "penny-wise & pound foolish." To wit, you don't keep MY subscription if you are unfairly tight-fisted with existing customers.

Not yet, I've still got the old version.
I just talked to K7 again via their online chat and they said that it's possible that existing users won't get an upgrade to the MAT version. At the moment, there is no timeframe for that happening, if it ever does. So, you have to purchase a new license to get the MAT version. This is what I just did, as after I updated K7, I was given the option to buy a 1 year Total Security license very cheaply. It cost around $9 US.
If you want to try the MAT version, this is the download link for Ultimate Security.

To use it, if you click on activate, you will be given the option to start a trial.
@bellgamin If you click on Protection Settings in the top right corner of the UI and then click on the downwards arrow at the end of Firewall Protection, you can turn various firewall settings on and off. This may be what you were looking for.

The old version let me disable the firewall (FW) component. The new version doesn't. I would gladly sacrifice the invisible MAT for a visible ability to disable the blinking FW.
They promised to include MAT on existing subscriptions. Shame on them for dragging their feet in doing so!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While I was writing this comment, you posted #113 above. If (I say "if") your new -to-me fix will make the FW inactive I wonder if their support staff knows. Or maybe they do know but didn't want to spend time answering my support request. Hu nose?
I *might* give K7TS another try, depending on how Shadowra's Panda Complete test goes. Or maybe I'll go back to big, fat G-data.
Talk about support! After I installed G-Data, I sent their support a routine query. Within 15 minutes I got a VERY helpful reply. Plus it included effusive welcomes for using their AV. Great support! K7 should emulate.

There is no down arrow at the end of Firewall Protection. See screenie below. Uh.. maybe you have a different K7TS than mine.
There is an up arrow at the end of Firewall so I clicked on that. This gave me the screenie below, with settings tabs but NO ability to disable the FW altogether. So -- until I find a way to run K7 minus its FW, K7 is pretty much off the table for now.

@bellgamin I have just confirmed that there now is a MAT version of Antivirus Premium, as I was able to download the installer for it. This is the download link.

Perhaps if you contact their support they will be able to change your license to one for AV Premium, so you don't have the firewall.

Hello, have you tested it? How good it's protection? Any advance level of protection ?

@roger_m -- thanks for the update. I am VERY pleased that K7 has kept it promise to existing users. It took them a good while to do it but -- water under the bridge, wot?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@anirbandutta01 -- I have not tested K7 Total Security. I am unqualified to test AVs so I am wise enough to refrain from doing so.
There are recent large scale AV tests of K7 & other AVs HERE & HERE, as conducted by two different testing labs. K7 did well on both.
K7 is very VERY light on a computer's system. It is a good AV but NOT the best one out there. If you are a high-risk user, you should probably opt for something like ESET or BitDefender as your AV.
