Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Win 7

[merkat106]

Anybody tried this???

Is unstable and launches "Previous application launch failed" errors frequently, yet the program still runs.

I don't want any security software that is either free, cause I don't trust such software, or trial-ware.

Which paid for AVs work on 7? I got licenses for Norton IS 2009 & Kaspersky IS 2009...

Oh, and AVG free is causing trouble after it was uninstalled...AVG was somehow corrupted so I uninstalled it. Yet traces of it remain in the registry.

Avast works pretty good. Just because it's free doesn't really mean it's untrustworthy. Others have reported Kaspersky not working right too.

I've been running the technical preview from Kaspersky with only one annoyance.

i use avira premium. doesnt have a lot of false/positives like a lot of others do. it's pretty good IMO

Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Win 7 tried it worked for about 2 weeks and then gave me nothing but problems. Sorry it was about a month ago I uninstalled, so I can't recall what the exact problems were but they were bad enough that I uninstalled it.
I did get AVG.Internet.Security.8.5.281.Build.1448 to work but the lack of virus definition updates made me nervous. So it's gone now and I now have Sunbelt VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware 3.1.246. It's a great anti-virus caught some trojans that AVG missed. It doesn't have a firewall so I'm looking for a good one, using Windows until I find one that works!!!

i think that for now Avast Free + malware bytes is the best and less invasive solution for 7.

How about ESET smart security? I try that one, and works fine for me so far, but maybe someone has different opinions.

I got a BSoD when I tried to install Kaspersky so if I were you I wouldn't bother with it for a while

my kaspersky IS 2009 seems to work fine in my windows 7 build 7137

Likewise, I've been using kaspersky IS 2009 for about two months on all my home computers, five of them, no problems at all. not one single issue.

 

[Priyank]

i tried kaspersky tomorrow, it was worst experience, kaspersky acts too smart

using McAfee it works damn good !!

I like smart programs.

KasperskyIS was very slow on my machine, especially on boot.

 

[Wiisper]

I use the technical preview thingy and it's working perfect, norton and esset gave me bsod and avast reported my windows installation files as a virus and messed up my windows.

on the other hand you could set how kaspersky acts, by tweaking its settings

Hey Meerkat
Great avitar

have you tried CCleaner to remove the remaining traces of AVG?

Kaspersky, altough not my personal preference, is certainly one of the top performers consistently.

 

[edrik]

you could also try AVG REMOVER

Nope. not me. I wouldn't touch AVG
