Kapersky Internet Suite

Kaspersky is great whether you get the AV or the full package, I have used both before and really i found I have fewer problems using spybot s&d adaware pro and a good firewall software the only thing i liked better about kaspersky Internet suite is that the spyware protection is realtime so that it will keep alot of different spyware from infecting your system where as spybot and adaware are post-infection removal tools (although spybot does have an immunize feature in my experience it doesn't work very well, i've seen many systems infected with spyware that is in the immunize list). KIS firewall is fairly top notch as well, really verging on linux like paranoia which there is nothing wrong with that either. personally on my main machine that goes out via various protocols to connect to work etc. i use KIS and still use spybot, adaware and about a dozen other tools to keep the machines secure but on most of my machines just kaspersky and spybot, etc.

It really comes down to how much security do you want/need for what you are doing with your system personally i perfer the free software and take the time to edit the services and such that system is using to ensure security that way and I also have made sure to have a firewall at the router level and at the system level.

Hope this helps

The bluescreen you get when calling NtCreateProcess(NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL) rather looks like it's pure crap.

What business is this of yours as to what this person is posting?

It's to the point that you are misusing and abusing that no one is paying attention to you anymore. And it's sad man it really is.

Are you no better than this?

Is this what you want?

Can you change or are you this messed up?

What is this supposed to mean? Is it Martian, or something?

It is absolutely normal C code. The one you write and compile to audit the security of the kernel drivers installed by a software that claims to provide security.

As for the above, it allows a non-admin user to crash the a system with KAV or KIS installed. Some other known defects are claimed to provide privilege escalation.

Thanks for your informative reply. I am running the trial of KIS at the moment, and really like it, although I really would like to see password protection when a new program it hasn't seen before wants to connect to the internet

Not sure what you mean by this, but if you have the firewall (antihacker) section set to run in Training Mode it certainly detects and warns of attempts by new programs to access the internet.

Yes I am in training mode, but you can accept the connection without knowing the Kapersky password. This stems back from when the Mrs downloaded a sort of virus, then she told ZoneAlarm to allow this new program that appeared to access the internet. You can do a similar thing in KIS as far as I can tell

Yes, I think you are right. Not aware that the password protection extends to this. You could ask on the Kaspersky forum where the folks are very responsive and will certainly be able to answer this question.
