Vista - Kaspersky vs Vista

10-23-2007

Every once in a while Vista decides that "Kaspersky Anti-Virus is turned
off."

Kaspersky is turned on and reports that it is running happily.

When I try and force the issue by going to Windows Security Centre and
'Turn on Now' - the confirmation 'Yes, I trust this program and am ready
to run it' is ignored by Vista, and I get thrown back to square one.

(I have no such problems with Kaskersky and Win XP SP2.)

Anyone have a solution - short of downgrading to XP?
Thanks

I would change the security settings to 'not monitored' for the antivirus.

Have you checked for updates that improve compatibility with Security Center
or uninstall/reinstall Kaspersky?

Kaspersky has proven itself untrustworthy to me as it missed 6 trojans on my system that NOD32 found and removed.

Besides its heavy on the system and cant seem to maintain a stable product.

i personally use windows live one care puchased at wal-mart -supports up to
three pcs vista and xp on the same net for 30$ have no problems at all. need
to get dvd-r for your recoveries though.runs qiuetly in the back ground and
not a hog on hdd.ive tried lots of others and prefer this

Onecare has been proven a rediculous failure. You should not use it you will get infected.

Use kaspersky, NOD32 or Gdata. Onecare should not even be on the shelves.

uninstall it and use a better product like Grisoft AVG Antivirus 7.5 Free.

Kaspersky is a highly rated program.

Do you have any reputable source or are you going to go by who pays the
reviewer the most?
