ok thanks

So this is no longer considered a Beta ??

It´a final version.

Hi

The page http://www.kaspersky.com/windows7 says that this a release candidate version.

Do you know how many more release candidate versions are planned before a final version ?

where can i get network agent 8

This page are not updated (rc2, later rc3, and final), MP4 v6.0.4.1212 it´s the final version.

Inside the full version of kasp8.0.2048_adminkiten.exe

I have just depolyed Admin Kit 8 and MP4 for WKS in a semi-test environment.
In the home version of KIS 2010, when a USB flash drive is inserted, you get the option to scan or not, this feature would be great for the business editions as many rely on using flash drives and I would rather force users to scan them when inserted than to block them all together.

+1 for this feature request, I hope it will be implemented in the next major version of the product.
Meanwhile, you can configure configure the Device Control in this way:
- Do not block any devices
- Disable autorun for all devices and processing of autorun.inf files
Files will be scanned when they will be accessed so the computer is protected.

Network agent comes with Administration Kit. After updating to v8, be prepared to have problems with Network Access Protection (NAP) service, if you have Windows XP SP3.
In Russian part of this forum is link to utilities to disable NAP - http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?act=a...t&id=131420

Cause of the problem is lack of permissions to lauch NAP (with which KAV agent can not interact anyway) - network agent 8.0.2048 enables it.

Is anyone else having problem with the Wake On LAN function.

In the previous build, all oir corparate PC's and laptops would be sent a WOL command prior to a daily scan be run each morning (so the scan were performed out of hours and the PC's were on when the users came in) this doesn't seem to be working 100% in the new version.

It appears (but further validation is needed) that some machines switch on and others don't, or it is not working at all and i'm just seeing machines hat people have switched on themselves and then the task runs as a missed task.

Any advice or anyone else with a similar problem?

This release "MP4 v6.0.4.1212" slows down my Windows 2008 and Vista Clients. I have disabled on my test Client (Quad Core with 8GB Mem) nearly all features like "scan network drives" and "Anti Spam", "Anti Hacker" "IE Plugin" "Mail Plugin" but the system behaves still extremly slow. My Servers have even more power but also the same experience. The only way to get the performace back is to uninstall the Kaspersky Client on the systems. On my XP Clients the performance problem is compared to the new Vista Clients and Windows 2008 Servers relatively small. Hope, there will be soon a better performing release out there.

best regards
Marco

+1. We are not deploying KAV on Windows 7 until a better performing version comes out. We started with free AVG and are looking at MS Security Essentials, hopefully only as a stopgap until Kaspersky addresses the performance issues.

Performance Issue Forumn Topic

OOOOOoooooooooooooooo..... a service pack for KAV 6.0 (while home users just got the 2010 edition).

Home users have had previous releases of:

* Version 7.0.1.325
* Version 7.0.0.125
* Version 6.0.2.614

Business users have had previous releases of:

* Version 6.0.4.1212 R2 (MP4)
* Version 6.0.3.837



Wow... that has got to be the greatest example of supporting your customers ever. My three year subscription to this buggy software was the biggest mistake I've ever made involving hardware/software purchases. And, of course, customer service told me to pound sand because they just didn't care if I was happy or not - but if they ever released a new version of the software they would love to hear from me again and hope that I buy another dozen licenses.

just saw version 6.0.4.1217 on Kaspersky website. what the difference with .1212 ??

The language. This version is only in spanish available.

The home versions run on different cycles from the business versions. Business versions also require more time for testing and development due to the nature of how/where they're deployed and the systems they're used on.

8.0 of the server and workstation versions of KAV will come out eventually, and 6.0 MP4 works more like a full version upgrade rather than just a maintenance patch (for better or for worse), so version numbers can be deceiving some times.
