KAV\KIS\KTS\KFA\KS\KSOS: 21.1.10.361 MR1 beta

[MacDefender]

@MacDefender haven't been you beta testing KIS 2021?

Nope, I have been running the latest "j" patch of KTS2020.

As already said before, to recover the old K -> enter the IDDQD combination when the antivirus "About" window is open and in focus...

IDDQD | Know Your Meme

IDDQD is a cheat code used in the 1993 first person shooter game Doom, which enables a game state that prevents the player from being damaged or killed kno

Nope, I have been running the latest "j" patch of KTS2020.

You will get patch K soon.

 

[fabiobr]

Kaspersky and Norton I think are the two most visually appealing AV suites out there.

ESET too.

 

[fabiobr]

Receveid patch K here on both of my PCs.

@harlan4096 Igor Kurzin on Kaspersky Community said that we expect the global launch of 2021 in July.
He means the official build not the TR right? TR will be out sooner these days?

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, I already watched that post about July...

Let's understand something, TR builds (which usually are the same as official or final) never are officially released, BUT leaked... so probably before July We'll have some leak about K2021MR0 TR hehe... I'm sure Kaspersky Support (as always) have them already, in previous years K. Support gave to some users the TR of that year to fix some bugs of previous versions...

 

[amirr]

Thank you Harlan, I just made a support ticket and asked them about if they can give me KIS 2021 English TR, if its not that buggy.

 

[harlan4096]

Also I have to add that the upcoming K2021MR0 comes with not so many changes compared to previous K2020... the big changes will come after some months with K2021MR1

 

[amirr]

Oh, so we don't have any UI changes in the upcoming K2021MR0 or the official build when it comes out in July?

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, there are some changes in GUI and in green colour, some new features as support of DoH and others removed as TAM

This is taken from online HELP of K2021MR0:

The best answer I expect to get about when a software will be released is "When it's ready". I hate when developers announce a date then release a mess of bugged software because it was not ready for release but they had already publicly announced that date.

I hope they improve their behavior blocker to be like Bitdefender, Bitdefender is most advanced and best behavior blocker I seen in AV so far and some features like UEFI scanner and monitoring connected home devices like in ESET

 

[ahmed 12]

some times Kaspersky miss some notepad viruses that saved in .bat extension and some tests that made by spyshelter and other testing software and simulation trojan software on the other hand Bitdefender manage to keep the system protected I was disappointed with Kaspersky performance although I used it for 5 years it missed also a miner trojan I reported most of these viruses and I hope they improve their protection and heuristics to detect new variants and unknown threats

 

[harlan4096]

Every AV has its own weak and strengths , I'm sure BD will miss probably other type of malware attacks You can check the Hub hehe...

 

[ahmed 12]

But why they didn't implement UEFI scanner and connected home devices monitoring like ESET?

I see that ESET is rich of security features and one step a head with it's technology but, it is still weak in terms of behavior blocker and HIPS.

 

[harlan4096]

Kaspersky has UEFI scanner but focused in corporate business: https://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-for-uefi

And home connecting monitoring also available in KSCloud paid versions

 

[mlnevese]

If there is anything, I'd like to see Kaspersky implementing from Bitdefender is its informative Central. Bitdefender Central actually reports if any installation from your license blocked something when it happened and which site it came from. For anyone taking care of security for the entire family it's really good as you know to whom you must explain why certain sites/files are bad.

Here is a screenshot if you never saw it in action...

 

[harlan4096]

Probably everything will come sooner or later

Any update for KIS 2020 release date?
