Kaspersky 5 Year License

[Tadeo Lentz]

In2023, AV-Comparatives tested 16 security solutions from global vendors for their ability to protect customers against Real-World Internet threats, identify thousands of recent malicious programs, defend them from advanced targeted attacks (Advanced Threat Protection Test), and provide protection without slowing down the device while resisting potential false positives. According to the final results, Kaspersky Standard received the highest overall score in all seven tests in the Public Consumer Main-Test Series[1].

Kaspersky Standard is the primary tier of the updated Kaspersky Consumer Portfolio, launched in 2022, to meet all the key security needs of consumers. It provides complete security with three layers of protection to detect and block threats in real-time, 24/7. This is also the foundation for the other two advanced tiers - Kaspersky Plus and Kaspersky Premium, which provide comprehensive privacy and data protection, as well as high levels of device performance.

Kaspersky has been participating in AV-Comparatives tests for more than 20 years, and is the leader among other vendors in terms of the total number (57) of awards in the Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories.

A security solution needs to take part in seven tests throughout the year and consistently achieve the highest Advanced+ score in each of them. These tests examine the quality of protection against common threats and targeted attacks, resistance to false positives, and the impact on overall system performance. This golden triad of metrics forms the basis of a comprehensive evaluation of security solution performance.

This test focuses on protection against the most current web-hosted threats at the time of testing. Malware (both malicious files and web exploits) is out there on the internet, and the solutions being tested can deploy their whole arsenals of built-in security technologies to detect the threats. Detection and blocking of a threat with subsequent rollback of all changes can occur at any stage: when opening a dangerous link, when downloading and saving a malicious file, or when the malware is already running. In any of these cases, the solution is marked a success.

As before, both the number of missed threats and also the number of false positives are taken into account for the final score. Advanced+ is awarded to products that minimize both these metrics.

This test assesses the ability of the solution to withstand targeted attacks. To this end, AV-Comparatives designs and launches 15 attacks to simulate real-world ones, using diverse tools, tactics and techniques, with various initial conditions and along different vectors.

A test for false positives is also carried out. This checks whether the solution blocks any potentially risky, but not necessarily dangerous, activity (such as opening email attachments), which increases the level of protection at the expense of user convenience and productivity.

Based on these measurements, AV-Comparatives calculates the total impact of each solution on system performance (the lower this metric, the better), then applies a statistical model to assign a final score to the products: Advanced+, Advanced, Standard, Tested, Not passed. Naturally, Advanced+ means minimal impact on computer performance.

We have a long-standing commitment to using independent research by recognized test labs to impartially assess the quality of our solutions and address identified weaknesses when upgrading our technologies. For 20 years now, the independent test lab AV-Comparatives has been putting our solutions through their paces, confirming time and again our quality of protection and conferring a multitude of awards.

Kaspersky has gone above and beyond to try to clear a lot of that up, such as moving its datacenters to Switzerland . To answer your question, I believe they will exist in three years, most likely in better standing than they are in today. I feel sorry for them - all of this damage to them has been caused by rumors and the extremely reckless ethics of their government. Just the wrong place, wrong time.

If you are in a position of responsibility when it comes to data security, choosing that particular vendor is tough to defend, for that reason alone. Why would you risk your reputation, or your career, on such a gamble.

I have to agree with John. This is not the mentality IT Pros should have when it comes to data and company security. I was alwas taught better safe than sorry and as John pointed out with so many other options available why even consider it.

On access sessions i can set it up before hand to allow interaction with Kaspersky but for support sessions that isn't an option as i may get a cold call from a customer with an issue. Also every time screenconnect updates i have to change the setting in kaspersky again.

I have done that on our access sessions that we have setup. However most of our support sessions are older folks that would rather us just login and fix it without them doing more than clicking a link and typing a code in. Is there no way to get screen connect whitelisted? we didnt have this problem with Logmein or teamviewer so there must be some way to make it work.

As I remember , this has been an issue for years. You say your reaching out to them but it seems its falling on deaf ears . Is there a solution to this likely in the near future? Is there anything the community could do , with regards to putting some preassure on Kaspersky?? Please let us know.

From what I can see , Kaspersky's self defence is blocking ScreenConnect. However , it doesn't block logmein or teamviewer. Is that because a) Kaspersky are willing to work with Logmein and not screenconnect OR B) logmein found a way around the problem?

As a workaround i have been using screenconnect to load teamviewer's quick support launcher and then just disabling kaspersky until i am done working on the computer. However this is not an ideal solution

Ive been doing something similar with my logmein account. Probably takes longer than your way though (since I wouldn't really call my way 'quick'!) . Since Im already paying a few hundred/annum for logmein Im not too keen to pay again for Teamviewers quick connect. Im probably like you, Im looking for a solution which allows me to connect to Kaspersky to do upgrades and re-new licences. Ive got at least a couple of hundred PCs with Kaspersky on them and it takes nearly 15 minutes to go through the motions of installing logmein temporarily, making screenconnect trusted then uninstalling logmein.

Telling the user to disable self defence is OK in theory but obviously the geeks at Kaspersky who suggested this don't live in the real world! Older people get really confused ..the word 'Kaspersky' in itself can cause brain melt downs for the over 70s , what a power-user would do in 20 seconds would take 15 minutes of major confusion amongst other folk.. In fact Ive given up trying to explain many times . Then there's the customers who EXPECT you to do everything without them lifting a finger ..they wouldn't lower themselves to this sort of assistance and of course the servers and PCs which are unattended...who's going to help with those the resident Ghost maybe!

Logmein got around this, as did Teamviewer. I think I'm correct in my assumption that its simply a matter of money talks? Logmein/Teamviewer paid Kaspersky to make it compatible and screenconnect wont or its going to cost too much!

As others have stated, it's pretty annoying that it's impossible to interact with Kaspersky using ScreenConnect without manually reconfiguring Kaspersky ahead of time. This is really annoying when connecting to a new computer for the first time using a Support session since the only way to interact with or reconfigure Kaspersky in that case is to use an alternate remote support tool.

In addition to Teamviewer, (which others have mentioned & which can be used without installation on both sides of the connection by running the TeamViewer QuickSupport tool (TeamViewerQS.exe) on the client's machine & then using the TeamViewer Portable download on your machine), another tool that works well which is very quick & easy is AnyDesk which uses a single small exe that runs without installation on both sides of the connection.

While I realize that the root issue may be outside your direct control, it would seem that by "declining" this feature you saying that you have given up on trying to solve the issue and are unwilling to even consider pursuing it further, even though functionally it is a legitimate limitation of your software that has somehow been figured out by not only many of your major competitors (TeamViewer, LogMeIn, GoToAssist), but also by smaller & lesser known competitors (such as AnyDesk)... Is that really what you are saying?

I am facing the same problem. It seems like every other remote support tool is able to interact with Kaspersky except ScreenConnect. Can you please look into this problem further and/or follow up further with Kaspersky to figure out a solution?

Adrewstop, what happens is when we are remoted in to a customers computer to say put a new product key in as soon as we launch the user interface kaspersky blocks all interaction. and the only to fix it is to close the remote session and restart the session. we still can not interact with kaspersky however.
