I like AVS because it's more reliable than other free AV's.
Although sometimes my system will lag a bit.

Ok la, although it lags my pc a bit while scanning...
Pentium III... erm, it detects virus in zipped files where other anitvirus can't detect... I like this feature... Even in installers it still can detect virus encrypted inside, the only thing matters is time. |

QUOTE(alvintan84 @ Sep 18 2006, 02:35 AM) It sounds good from the way it looks..But i still stick with AVG..don't wan put so many antivirus program too many if not my notebook hang later But seriously AVS is way better than AVG.Despite the fact it might lag your pc a bit more, it provides better protection. You might reconsider whether to change or not. |

QUOTE(nessus @ Aug 8 2006, 03:53 PM) How to: Offline Installation for AVS Without Online Activation Thank you very much for the heads up Note: You still need to get the license key online first. This guide is for subsequent offline installation of AVS 1) Obtain an activation code from AVS via email. 2) Generate a license key using the activation code at https://activation.kaspersky.com/ 3) The next time you install AVS, make sure the .key file is in the same location as AVS setup file. That way, it won't have to activate online. A general installation and configuration guide is available at http://www.drtweak.com. Note that AVS will flag mIRC as riskware if you enable "Potentially dangerous software..." in the Protection Menu. 1 : Quoted directly from http://www.kaspersky.com/faq?qid=194134869 2 : Quoted partially from http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,126803-p...cy/article.html |

On second thought, does it work?
![]() Since there's no activate using existing license key option in AVS. That function is only available in Kaspersky... |

QUOTE(nessus @ Jan 9 2007, 03:29 PM) Hi mdzaboy, by the look of the pic you posted, are you running 2 network cards at once or are you running a wired and a wireless connection at once? There's a very rare issue with Kaspersky KIS v6 and I think it also applies to KAV v6 where running two network controllers would trigger the error you're getting. You could clarify the problem by disabling one of your network controllers, then restart and see if the error still occurs. Respect, and I just can't help it, how the hell you know that? If you're running a ppoe connection, I don't really know if it would trigger the problem or not. You could try setting your modem to router mode to test it out. Try this only if the above paragraph fails to solve your problem. Normally customers would contact Kaspersky to get a new key which eliminates the problem but because AVS is free, I think they won't provide you with tech support. There's currently no fix for the issue either. What you can do now is see if the above solutions work for you or not. If they don't you can try applying for keys until one of them works (I have no idea if this would work or not). If all else fails, use another free AV. There's a few which are pretty good |

Use outpost or PC Tools Firewall. I used both. Quite good. But outpost comes with anti-spyware and trial version. |

You're infected with virus lah, non-related to the presence of AVS.
But since you're with AVS, it should have tackled it out. |

QUOTE(nessus @ May 30 2007, 06:27 PM) Giving this thread a much needed bump Woot! Nice bump indeed. The closest I got to installing updates manually is by copying three folders from an already updated system with AVS installed and copy them to a new AVS installation before restarting the system. These three folders are C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\AVP6\Bases C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\AVP6\Data C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\AVP6\Dskm How I do it is I create the following folder structure AOL\AVP6, then put the three folders into it. After that I make a self extracting archive using Winrar instructing it to extract the contents to %AllUsersProfile%\Application Data. So after initial installation of AVS, I run the winrar file, then restart the system. AVS might complain about corrupted files after the restart and it will ask you to restart again to apply updates. After the second restart, updates will be applied without any errors. Apart from the Bases folder, I don't know what exactly the other two folders do, I'll be very happy if someone could find out Thanks for the heads up again. Tho' my main question is to know whether manual updates can be downloaded, as sometimes auto updates gives you trouble. =3 |

Webprotect... Sweat
I'll change to NOD32 soon, try and see if it's really that resource friendly or not. Til then I'm still a proud user of AVS! |
