Advice Request Should I Add Kaspersky To My Arsenal?

[Cats-4_Owners-2]

Thanks Cats-4_Owners-2, I did that little installation yesterday. It is one of the bonuses of this site that I really like.

A little bird (..penguin?) told me you might have, but I just wanted to be sure!

The one thing I dont like about Kaspersky is they are always late to the party i.e Kaspersky is always late to fully support/compatible new OS build And this is important on Win 10 especially Win 10 Home as users cannot disable/set Windows Updates to manual And also users are left with limited Kaspersky protection or uninstall Kaspersky due to not complete or no timely full support/compatible.

I use Kaspersky But currently running Comodo Cloud Antivirus as Kaspersky has limited protection on Anniversary Build Win 10 And waiting for Kaspersky patch.

I guess couple days back Kaspersky released MR3 of Kaspersky Endpoint protection And that too has limited protection on AU Build, why the heck a recent release with limited protection?

I think kaspersky 2016 is already optimized for AU. It is just the 2017 version that is behind.
It is generally a good idea with major AV suites to wait a few months before installing the new version, so they can work out the kinks.
In jan 2017, you can install the 2017 version, and it won't be buggy anymore.

but getting back to the OPs question: why not try an anti-exe like voodooshield or secureaplus? you add a lot more protection, for much less money

Agree KL always comes a bit late to give support for new OS, but I'm watching in some news and forums that other security software that supposed were W10 RS1/AU compatible are also getting issues and are/or will have to release new builds... so KL, at least, always say They have limitations and clearly publish them, others say are compatible but have issues or don't publish their limitations...

And yes K2016MR1 Patch E started to be released 2 days ago which gives full support to RS1/AU... K2017MR0 support coming in September...

Damn, what was the hurry to release 2017 version with limited protection?

They should have release patch for 2016 version And later 2017 version with full protection on AU.

Agree, but this how things goes in KL... every year new Kaspersky MR0 build has to be released around July/August, apart from possible patches from previous builds...

I'm the OP and I appreciate your input. I thought that $30 US was a good price for Kaspersky 2016 Total Security;

https://smile.amazon.com/Kaspersky-...UTF8&qid=1471617956&sr=1-2&keywords=kaspersky


but I will look into your suggestions.

I guess I really do not need any extra security because I am dual booting with Linux Mint 18 (with my Windows 10 Anniversary Edition) and when somebody wants to use my computer for anything I just log off of MY Windows 10 and then fire up Linux and let the person go to town..

great idea!
let those youngsters see if they can get your linux infected (good luck)
and you are mature enough to manage with minimum security anyways

IMHO I dont think you need to buy the Kaspersky. I like to use the free version of Avira, which is as good as Kaspersky for detection.

Thanks for your input but I bought Kaspersky Total Security 2017 at Newegg for $14.95, I couldn't resist at that price. I am still playing with it to see if I like it.

You damed if you do, you're damed if you don't, Kaspersky Protection is on point for eons,but i guess people just love to bicker about something. They came honest and told everyone what is up with the product,yet still you can see the discontent among people.
What thrills me is that their standards is yet to be beaten(protection wise) by products that claim or act as if they have all corners covered, but is clearly struggling protection wise and detection wise and people are ok with that. The deceit is astounding.
Next ask the same slanders to show you ( video wise)how kaspersky is weak in it's protection on 64bit systems nobody can & if you get 1 person to come and show you what they think is it short comings, that said person don't even know how to configure the product or how to use the tool the right way & as they don't know sh''''''''t,they will come with some industry bull crap and a video with default setting and nuff pup's or pua's,these judas tactics must stop.
I find in these times know 1 cares about the truth,the rumor is always sweeter, gets more attention more gossip more headlines. I've been following this tread for a cotton picking min and it have me disturbed.

If you are going to pay for security you absolutely cannot go wrong with KIS.

 

[nclr11111]

Damn you have good prices over there at newegg.
$9.95 for KIS 3 computers/one year.... .... WOW!
