Does Kaspersky Premium work alongside second opinion scanners that don't have real-time antivirus? Eset, Emsisoft and Norton all have different signatures than Kaspersky, and they are decent enough to identify PUPs that Kaspersky sometimes misses. I'm mainly interested in scanning my work-related assets with them for adware and PUP detection, but I'm worried that they might interfere with Kaspersky's main components or something. So do they conflict with Kaspersky Premium or not?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The programmes I'd like to use alongside K if there are no conflicts.

Eset online scanner. (No real time protection)

Emsisoft emergency kit. (No real time protection and no need to install)

Norton Power Eraser. (No real time protection and no need to install)

I'm using windows 11 version 24H2 and Kaspersky premium version 21.20.8.505.

Is that a database update or a new overhaul cause I updated the app and still 21.20.

I am also running some Virus scanners without real-time protection.

A new app version, that was released recently:

Pardon my laziness, but how can I download this? Do I have to uninstall the current version in order to install the new one?

No, You can install over previous version 21.20, if You want, You can previously export Your config, and then Import in new version.

Pardon my curiosity, but if I remember correctly, the last major Kaspersky overhaul to my premium version was months ago, and it downloaded automatically via database updates (I'm talking about the update that adds 'our cybersecurity technologies' section to the security interface), and I didn't have to do anything else. And does that mean this 21.21 version is an optional update, maybe?

It makes me a little nervous to manually tamper with the OS or the antivirus once they are installed.😐

Yes, You can wait and get 21.21, but may take time, since this is delivered very gradually... it's up to You if You want to download the new updater and overwrite manually, or wait the 21.21 via auto-update, but the process would be the same, the new version will be installed over current one 🙂

 

In fact, K21.22 it's already in beta testing, with the new model, K. delivers a new version every few months 🙂
