Kaspersky on Vista and no issues whatsoever, faster than my old pc, shocked to see bit defender 2008 fail on there

What puts me off Kaspersky is THAT firewall, which seems to be all or nothing, i.e, all pop ups or no protection, as it lets everything through.

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 18:33:59

100 more, Simon, just 100.

madasahatter · Apr 05, 2008, 18:38:51

Don't listen to him Simon - he's trying to lead you astray again

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 18:41:07

I look on it more as encouragement.

madasahatter · Apr 05, 2008, 18:42:47

encourage away

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 18:43:25

We've still only got the one post - and that was starting a limerick!!

Your remote powers of persuasion obviously don't work as well with him as they do with me

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 18:52:18

Hoobs are known to be more susceptible.

madasahatter · Apr 05, 2008, 18:56:06

You've been looking in the Hoobopaedia again Rik

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 19:03:32

I ahve a copy on the desk as I type.

madasahatter · Apr 05, 2008, 19:12:09

How did you get that? Tis only supposed for hoobs

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 19:19:09

madasahatter · Apr 05, 2008, 19:22:11

My word - this admin power thing gets you everything doesn't it?

Rik · Apr 05, 2008, 19:24:27

Not quite...

Simon · Apr 05, 2008, 20:04:50

I'm struggling to read everything - you can't expect me to reply too!

Anyway, I'm off to play with my new Actifry...

Sebby · Apr 05, 2008, 20:07:30

I had to look up what that is, but I'm quite intrigued now. Let us know if it works well!

Simon · Apr 05, 2008, 20:08:04

Healthy chips that taste the same deep fat fried ones? Nice!

Simon · Apr 06, 2008, 00:02:39

It's probably better with chips cut straight from a potato, but it did frozen ones very nicely!

I hope it works better than their " Quick and Hot " kettle Simon.

It has had fairly dire reviews.

it monitors the main vista/xp functions like svhost etc on mine at default it monitors 41 programs and personally I don't mind the pop ups they go away after a day or so and are easy to configure, the new version 8 which will be out soon has a new firewall, but the Kaspersky 7 firewall gets good reviews with matousec for leak tests which says a lot.

We had a look at one, Simon, but it was so fussy to use it went back untried. 40 minutes to do a kilo of chips!
