Kaspersky internet security 2017 activation code Archives

Between Symantec Norton and Kaspersky Lab, I trust Symantec Norton Security [ Download ] more than Kaspersky, however, due to the fact that Symantec has not made available their latest Norton One in my country, couple with the fact they have stopped selling physical boxes of Norton Internet Security, which is at least 30% cheaper than buying it online.

Therefore I’ve decided to give Kaspersky a go for one year until Norton One is launched in my country or Kaspersky performed miserably on my PC. For those new to Kaspersky Antivirus software, do note that the USA CIA claims Kaspersky Antivirus software comes with hidden backdoor, maybe it is true, then again, what do you expect the CIA to say?

I like the scratch card thing, to activate my Kaspersky Internet Security, I’ll have to scratch off the layer to reveal the activation code. Kind of like playing the lottery, only more expensive. As for the promotion code, I have no idea what it is and have absolutely no interest in it.

From what I read, Kaspersky Internet Security is equally good, more affordable and it comes with more features compared to Norton Internet Security. The physical box is way bigger than Norton’s DVD box size, unlike some of Norton’s product, Kaspersky comes with a DVD whereas some of my previous Norton’s product comes with an activation code only. Bandwidth is not an issue for me, thus downloading GB of files is not a big problem.

Installation was a breeze, double click on the DVD and it loads automatically. I believe most antivirus are the same, no more various checkboxes to uncheck. If I am not mistaken, Avast, Avira, AVG, Panda, BitDefender and more all comes with a 1 click installation process, it makes perfect sense. However the uninstallation process is a whole different thing, more often than not, you are begged not to uninstalled and if you choose so, you will be asked to fill in a form as to why you decided to give up on their product.

An example of the activation code.

The first task to perform in all newly installed antivirus is to update the database. For some unknown reason, it took Kaspersky quite some time, approximately 3 or 5 minutes to download a 20MB database, it could be that the Kaspersky Lab server is located in Russia, thus the slow connection and internet speed. If I am not mistaken, the update process for my Norton, AVG and Avira was pretty quick when it was 100MB.

The user interface is pretty simple. You’ll most likely not see this again due to the fact that antivirus are designed to perform silently behind the scene. Compared with Norton Internet Security, Kaspersky offers 2 additional features – Safe Money and Parental Control.

I’ve never seems to understand the need to store your credit card information on a software, perhaps the best security is by not storing it digitally. Unless you are into a shopping binge buying stuff online every hour, then Safe Money might save you the hassle of repeatedly typing your credit card info.

As for Parental Control, Microsoft Windows both comes with really good parental control software. Again, I do not see a need for such feature. Perhaps the best parental control is to properly explain to your kids on surfing the internet responsibly.

As I have mentioned earlier, Kaspersky Internet Security comes with more features than Norton Internet Security. Depending on your needs, I won’t be needing any of these features. I’ve always believed anti-virus should run on the background silently, even when it managed to detect viruses.

As for the application control and network monitor, I believe this is redundant again due to the fact that I just upgraded my PC with 16GB Ram and a Quad Core processor. Based on the Windows’ Task Manager history, I barely exceeded 30% memory usage while playing Dota 2 with Photoshop CS and Mozilla Firefox running on the background.

The quick scan was pretty quick. Again, I don’t see a need for any scanning since everything should be automatic.

This is a basic feature is most antivirus and internet security suite. I dare say all, if not most security software are designed from the ground up to consume as little resources as possible while providing ample protection. When I launched task manager in Windows, more often than not, Kaspersky occupies the 2nd or 3rd spot in term of memory usage, whereas Norton is way below the list.

As for backing up my files to an external hard disk, the syncing is slower when Kaspersky is active, once disabled, the copying rate went back to normal. I never had this kind of problem with Norton.

All in all, give a choice, I would love to use Norton Internet Security, but the lack of physical boxes and I am forced to purchase an outdated Norton Internet Security is the reason why I choose Kaspersky. After all, at the end of the day, the best security is our own common sense – do not simply visit links via emails, especially emails related to banks, credit cards or PayPal requesting a change of password.

Conclusion – Why Kaspersky Lab’s Internet Security?

In today’s cloud computing environment, the more of your software you have installed onto your customer’s PC, the more data you will be able to collect, therefore the faster you receive the warning, the faster you will be able to come up with a solution and prevention. This is why some antivirus vendor gives away their basic antivirus software for free, the agenda is to collect data.

If an antivirus company doesn’t have enough market share, they might not be able to collect the necessary data. Kaspersky has 3.5% market share, which is reasonable, anything falls under the ‘other’ category will not be a good antivirus company.

The other reason for purchasing Kaspersky is the price, which is cheaper than Norton Internet Security, and last but not least, the detection rate for Kaspersky engine is pretty good. Not the best to my knowledge, but not the worst either, most important of all, it is better than McAfee which comes bundled for free with my Dell XPS 8700 PC. McAfee is possibly the worst antivirus ever, it is slow, sluggish and more often than not, comes with lots of bugs, just Google them and you will know.

Never Download Cracked Antivirus From Torrent

Think about it, what is the best way to infect your Windows computer with malware? By providing cracked version of an antivirus via torrent. The reason is simple, you are downloading an antivirus is because your computer is not protected. Without protection, you have no idea these ‘free’ antivirus files from torrent are conventionally infected with ransomware, sometimes cryptocurrency miners or trojan.

Always support the original software if you have the financial means, especially for small business owners. Just because it is easy to re-create something digitally doesn’t mean the programmers behind the original software works for free and have no family to support.

There are plenty of free antivirus by top security companies that doesn’t require you to pay for the product’s activation code or serial number. The free version may lack some core features, but it is still a better choice over pirated copies from torrent.

After the user re-enabled their anti-virus installation, the software blocked the backdoor. It also began detecting previously unknown variants of the Equation malware, including a 7zip archive. This archive was promptly sent back to Kaspersky Lab HQ for analysis, at which point it was found to contain "multiple malware samples and source code for what appeared to be Equation malware".

Upon discovery, this was reported to CEO Eugene Kaspersky. The company said that the archive and its contents were deleted from all of Kaspersky's systems and was not shared with anyone else. It also stated that "Kaspersky Lab has never created any detection of non-weaponized (non-malicious) documents in its products based on keywords like 'top secret' and 'classified'."

In short, the company appears to be implying that its software was turned off by an NSA contractor in order to install a pirated version of Office 2013, which contained a backdoor. This backdoor could then have been used by the FSB to gain access to the NSA's Equation exploits, as opposed to the exploits being turned over by Kaspersky Lab itself exploits which were promptly deleted from its files, the company said, when it discovered what they were.

This story has drawn a mixed response from the cybersecurity community; F-Secure chief research officer Mikko Hypponen has subtly hinted that the lure of keeping hold of sophisticated nation-state malware may have been too much for Kaspersky to resist.

Ex-black hat-turned-pen-tester Kevin Mitnick, however, said that the company's account more plausible than alternative explanations.

"The investigation is still ongoing," Kaspersky stated, "and the company will provide additional technical information as it becomes available. We are planning to share full information about this incident, including all technical details with a trusted third party as part of our Global Transparency Initiative for cross-verification."
