2010 is out

Version 2010 has been out for sometime and it is of note that any user holding a current 2009 licence can version upgrade for free using that old key.

2010 is still a good suite, but although it looks tidier on the surface, Kaspersky have made it somewhat harder to tinker with the deeper settings such as changing the trust levels of already categorised software in the firewall section.

Also of note Kaspesky still detects elkbd.sys as a possible keylogger, despite it actually being a normal part of Intels Quick resume software. Thus triggering an endless list of flase detections in the log.

More annoyingly this behaviour still continues even after adding the file to the ignore / exceptins list.

Small grumbles but otherwise good. :-)

2011 is out

Latest Review, about time to update the website.
A little hint to cost saving, reading the upgrade info on the website for 2011, versions 2009, 2010 can upgrade to the latest version. So I picked up cheap copies of the 2010 version at £9 for 3 PCs. Cheap upgrade path. roiute

ps Have not paid more than £15 in the last 3 years for the 3 PC version.
