Hi @harlan4096 I'm not too familiar with running the Kaspersky betas, but do I need to uninstall the previous build version to install the new build? It just updated, but it did not update to the above build number you posted.

 

[harlan4096]

No, You can install overwriting previous one...

 

[Jonny Quest]

Thank you

 

[harlan4096]

Also, betas comes with traces one, and other debugging stuff that will slow down the system...

 

[Jonny Quest]

Thanks again for your help, the installation went without a hitch Also, for the confirmation that traces and debugging can slow the system down, but no problem in being able to help by running the beta

Finally, They integrated a Search inside the product:

Double VPN?????

 

[ForgottenSeer 100397]

Double VPN?????

Probably double-hop or multi-hop, where your traffic goes through two or more servers.

@rhythm you're exactly right

Oh my, the search is wonderful. That was one of the issues I had with my paid version, there are so many settings in Plus that at times I would have a hard time finding a setting to change. I went to the other forum just to have a look, and someone mentioned about speeding up their performance, and you suggested some of the misc settings that may be disabled. I couldn't find Weak Settings Scan, then remembered the search option, and there it was

Woot yeah for the first time since 2002 I am trying on Kaspersky. I have it in my VM and running the beta. Thank you @harlan4096 for letting us know about the performance impact of tracing. Since yeah I am seeing that kav beta is heavy, well now I know why.

 

[harlan4096]

Disable Traces:



Disable debugging mech.:



And reboot.

And still, You should disable K. self-defense, and remove 3 avp* entries here (Image File Execution Options):



And reboot again, re-enable K. self-defense.

Kaspersky Free 21.14 behaved really weird today. It turned off/on the protection several times. I noticed an error saying that there is a problem with the EULA of the updating severs and to try to update it again later. Next, I noticed that some modules were updated, and the app needed a restart to complete.

However, I didn't notice changes in the build version nor patch a or so.

 

[Xeno1234]

Do beta versions use updated detection technologies or is it just application feature changes

 

[harlan4096]

They may contain both...

About KFree update, that kind of update asking for reboot may sometimes come, usually to fix product issues.

About KFree update, that kind of update asking for reboot may sometimes come, usually to fix product issues.

The odd thing was that I received 5–6 messages all the same. Suddenly, the program refused to turn on the protection on restart. I had to turn it on manually after every reboot. So I decided to export the current config, to uninstall the app, to clean with kavremover and to install it again and to import my config. Now all is ok. I am wondering if this is related to Patch Tuesday a few days ago, since I don't believe Comodo interfered with it, since I am using this combo from a long time. Very weird issue. Could be some kind of incompatibility issue but probably because of Patch Tuesday. And the system is malware free (I can guarantee about that).
