Release Candidate
It means it's ready to be released. When no crucial bugs surface, the latest RC build may become the stable/final release.

Release Candidate is like a preview of the final product, but one that may have some glitches.
It's like the Beta version that's closer to release (with good amount of testing already done on Beta, almost ready for a release) but not the build to be released to the public as it is. Some changes (including fixes) noted and implemented, it is released then.
And many a times, RCs are available to a limited set of customers or testers.

Not automatically, at Kaspersky's take some time... and usually They publish the 1st Patch A with every new MR0 official release...

So what is the recommended procedure, when the official release comes out?

I think the installer in ftp2 I posted some days ago here is final or TR which usually is the same as final... anyway the procedure should be delete active license and "detach" the system in our "My Kaspersky" account (or keep it in the system during uninstalling), uninstall it, and install the new final/official installer.

Yes and no. The download that @harlan4096 provided will probably turn out to be the final version. But we can't know that for sure, at this point. In any case, I don't see people on this thread complaining about bugs. It works fine for me, too.

The release candidate (2018) that Harlan4096 shared via that ftp link right?
I don't have my system and can't share screenshots, but if you were ever concerned about occasional heaviness with the earlier public version (2017), you will feel some really noticable difference in overall system performance with this 2018 build you're asking about. Try it yourself

Hello!
I'm using the KIS 2018 Build that Harlan Kindly posted here
And Its Amazing
Also even with TAM On And Max Protection Its really light even when I'm playing games + Google chrome open with tabs all the time
Nothing crashes or BSOD or any lag
The computer not freezing or anything.

I don't even notice KIS is installed on my machine unless it notifies me of something. But of course you should test any security solution on your machine before buying... I had a computer that got noticeably slow when I tried ESET on it. Other would take ages booting with an old version of KIS. Basically do not rely on posts saying that product X is "light" or "heavy" always test on your own machine whenever possible.

When will the final release/stable version of KIS 18 be available to download on Kaspersky's website?
Cookinpro I'm not sure but I have been checking the website every day there is no 2018 version yet on the Australian or USA websites, you can run the current build of Kis 2018 if you want to because it's running fine on my computers and I have no problem's yet.

@carl fish
Thanks for the info. I used to have Outpost Security Suite Pro and I really loved it. Once I had to switch to Kaspersky, I found it to be about the best replacement possible for Agnitum.
