Installing it, very light on system, since it is a Chinese cloud AV we can tell that they have a huge userbase not saying the western users.

Since it is a cloud AV, it should be light.
I've always wondered how Chinese security companies could possibly have a high detection rate if half of the internet is blocked by the Great Firewall, unless they are all based in Hong Kong.

No, chinese Gov only block and filter sites that may "criticize" or allow dissident to express their view against them, the rest is open.

Hi 'Earth

Thanks for bringing news of Kingsoft Antivirus 2012. We always try to fix bugs/fp as soon as possible.

BTW, we also hate stupid Great firewall, but luckily, our server is not located in China :D

It's no longer a Beta product. Kingsoft AV 2012 is Final (SP4.0). Give it a go.

Not compatible with VIPRE engine.
