Hello, I've just updated to 2010 .736 and I don't like the way it now forces you to use the automatic update setting because if you don't, you get the yellow warning that "Your computer security is at risk" when it clearly isn't. I had always liked how Kaspersky did not bully you into this option - unlike Microsoft.

I like to update when I choose, not when Kaspersky randomly decides to by itself.

I find this an over-nagging step too far. It is set to automatic by default so if I want to change it to manual what's the problem? It sets a bad precedent because if I'm going to start ignoring Kaspersky's warning messages (because I think they are over-the-top nonsense) then what's the point of it all?

Thanks

Its there incase users set the wrong setting by accident - ofcourse, its paramount the Kaspersky remains updated and if users unintentionally disable this, then Kaspersky is not able to protect users from newer threats.

Can you click the yellow bar and select "hide message" or something along those lines?

Thanks for your reply. I haven't tried it but I daresay it would work. My main issue however is not the message box but with the Security Centre main menu and its ugly yellow warning that I'm at risk. I can just ignore it - like I ignore the Microsoft warnings - but it seems a pity that I'll never get my nice green menu back again.



But how often does this happen? And why do I have to suffer for it? I know Kaspersky has to try and take into account that the dumbest people do the dumbest things but there is a limit as to how dumbed down a program should become. And besides after two days Kaspersky starts telling you your database is out of date so it's not like somebody could accidentally set it to manual and then never update again.

IMHO taking options out of users hands and doing them "automatically" often leads to exactly the sort of situation we are currently seeing with the rootkit scan issue. I hope Kaspersky learns from that and changes the automatically update settings back to what it used to be.

If you hide the message then you should be all green again.

Hi, I cant seem to reproduce this. What are settings for scheduller?

Whizard, like this.

Hide message goes green again, so not a big deal IMO.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean the "disable this notification" option? Because that doesn't change the main security centre which still stays yellow... ?

From my pic:
Click the big yellow traffic light then select hide message.

Oh! I did not know you could click on that

That's excellent, I'm back to green again

Thanks very much
