  1. Hi all.

    Just looking for clarification. I was just looking at Eugene Kaspersky's twitter page and followed a link to his blog page and according to him there will be three levels of Kaspersky going forward. They will be Standard, Plus and Premium. He indicates that just AV will no longer be available. I see no mention of a Basic plan. It appears the Standard=KIS. Just want to be clear regarding the new offerings.

  2. I have just found this thread regarding the new models of Kaspersky. If everything I am reading stays unchanged in the final version that is released in the US, I have some serious concerns. First is the inability to turn off certain features. That has always been one of the things I admired about Kaspersky.  The idea of showing one's email address on the screen makes no sense at all. Perhaps one of the worst ideas is going to a subscription-based model.  I understand from a business point of view, this helps with cash flow. However, from a consumer standpoint as one person has already pointed out, it is a bad idea. I hope from the input I have read here, that Kaspersky will reconsider these steps. If not, I feel I will have to recommend to my customers and clients that they remove Kaspersky and look elsewhere for their security needs. Please Kaspersky….reconsider these steps.

  3. Hover your mouse pointer over the green shield in your notification area in the right corner of your display and it will tell you your current version and revision letter. You can also right click the green shield and choose “About” and it will give you the same info.

  4. UPDATE- Using version KIS 21.3.10.391(b) and this problem with the Chase bank site still exists. As stated previously, with the site listed in Safe Money and opening the site, Safe Money does not open the site securely. If you go into Safe Money and click the site listed in Safe Money, it will open the site that way. Clearly this error  HAS NOT been fixed. Any input from Kaspersky employees would be appreciated.

  5. I could not agree with the OP more. I pay for the software and while I understand that I do not “own” the software, I DO own my computer. If I wish you continue to use a version that is say one version behind the current version so that I may wait and see how the newer version works on others computers or to install it on a non critical system for testing, that should be my decision, NOT the software manufacturer. I truly hope Kaspersky will rethink their decision in this matter. 

  6. I have been following this issue for some time now and do not intend to sound overly negative, however, I have a number of clients who have been pushed the new Edge by Microsoft. They are calling me with questions and are not happy about Kaspersky and Safe Money not working properly with the new browser and extensions. Edge is no longer in Beta. There is a Stable channel that is being sent to customers. This has been known for some time. First it was to be supported in Patch h, then Patch i and now patch j. I read somewhere on this forum that Patch j may not be coming until mid April. Kaspersky needs to make this patch a priority before Edge is pushed out en masse. It is becoming  difficult to convince clients to stay with a product that seems to be behind the curve. I still believe Kaspersky to be one of the best AV on the market. However in other cases such as this, they seem to be a little late in keeping up with changes made to the OS.

  7. I am disheartened to see the last response bluesriff received from support. It has been made clear by MS that at some point, perhaps in the not too distant future, they will do away with IE11. I support over 50 clients, all on Kaspersky products at my recommendation, and begun receiving questions/complaints about this issue. My clients are security aware and are concerned. I hope Kaspersky will put more effort into finding a more "consistent" explanation to this problem or I fear I will have to explore other security options for my clients. I trust Kaspersky, but they need to be more proactive on this important issue.
