CIS vs KIS vs AIS

[woops]

That's why it's, A vs B

[Watasha]

The battle will never end, you're right. That's the beauty of it all. There's so much you can learn from someone by telling them that you think something that they love stinks.

I can tell you that KIS is probably what I would use if I didn't use CIS and actually paid for security software.

Agreed, Dieselman, RAM usage is inconsequential.
The emphasis should be placed on how light it feels/acts on your system.

As far as prevention, you're only as good as your last action concerning your last popup with CIS.
Is it for noobs? lol
No, it's not
..and I have tried v4, just not the newest build.
Great strides were made in reducing the number of popups, but once a noob encounters their first (cryptic) one -- look out below!

[mdfareez]

a security suite is all about DETECTION and PREVENTION, coupled with the ability to keep a computer safe and MALWARE-FREE. well, that should be the biggest point we should be debating over. not on other minor points, like user-friendliness.

i've pointed out an example to you before this, even when using KIS 2010. it's not a crazy thing for a noob to disable his whole AV just to execute something he likes. i have came across many people who voluntarily do that, and honestly, even with the World's Best Security Suite, you still won't be protected if you disable it. \

we are comparing KIS and CIS here, we should take out the user element, and fight it head on with the potential venom it has in DETECTING and PREVENTING malwares.

for the record, tests after tests, have shown that CIS is unbeatable. and that record still stands to be broken.

can you say the same about KIS 2010?

[ALookingInView]

Good points.
With KIS configured to Interactive Mode then good luck getting anything by it as well though.

[mdfareez]

well, we need proof to that statement of yours.

we have seen proof in many CIS videos.

[Dieselman]

LOL...............too funny mdfareez. I have KIS set up so that any unsigned or unknown process,installer or exe will be "Automatically" placed in the untrusted area. Once something is in "untrusted" it cannot do a thing. Watch Matt's,123zap's and languy99's reviews and they all will tell you this. Here is a screen shot of me trying to run the installer for System Explorer. Now keep in mind this was an "AUTOMATIC" decision on KIS's part after I changed those settings. No user intervention needed. The only downfall is that even legit installers get placed in "untrusted". Such as I just downloaded that latest update for Java and 1/2 way through the install failed cause KIS put a temp file in "untrusted". So mdfareez............I guess you never watched any of those videos. If you did he would have seen that KIS stopped 99% of malware WITHOUT user intervention and without changing any settings. So just image what happens with my settings. With KIS set up like I have, nothing will be allowed to run or get installed unless its digitally signed. Also keep in mind that CIS is NOT user friendly or noob friendly. You cannot install CIS on your Grandmothers pc and expect her to know how to answer pop ups or even your Mother's pc. Sure we know what are doing but look at it from a real point of view. I have installed KIS on ALL of my families pc's and not one of them has complained or seen a pop up. By default KIS is completely silent. You cannot say that for CIS since even the av detection means you need to click "clean" by default. Also CIS more or less stole the idea of how the use there sandbox from KIS. I have mentioned this before in other threads. KIS has Application Activity which places process into 3 category's based on heuristics analysis. The 3 category's are low and high restricted,trusted and untrusted. That Application is on ALL the time. Now KIS also has a sandbox to protect your browser from unwanted changes such as Sandboxie. CIS has a new feature,its sandbox. Only with that feature turned on does CIS have Application Activity. KIS's sandbox is just a plus when needed. Like when surfing the dark side of the web. KIS also has a Vulnerability scanner which can tell you of any software such as Java needs to be updated. KIS also has a recovery cd maker. The only thing CIS has over KIS is the price. But KIS deal are all over the place such as the one I have posted in the Kaspersky section.



Matt's KIS 2010 Review

Languy99's KIS 2010 Review

123zap's KIS 2010 Review

All these reviews are at default settings. Proving that KIS is very powerful out of the box with NO user intervention needed. Most pc's users dont wanna bother with answering pop ups. All they want to know is that there security works and leaves them alone. CIS cannot do this. Start reparing pc's and customers will tell you "I just want something that works and does not bother me".

[mdfareez]

CIS has a parental control feature, and you know that. so why can't i install it on a grandmother's pc? everything will be silent too. that would certainly be AUTOMATIC too.

for a free software, offering everything KIS 2010 can do to protect, prevent and remove malware, i don't see how CIS is inferior as compared to KIS 2010.

i will repeat my question once more,

FIND ME SOMETHING KIS 2010 CAN DO, WHICH CIS CAN'T.

(and please, do it in relation to malware blocking and prevention)

[sss20]

Well my Grandmother,mother ,father dosen't download and run keygens of the internet....usually this type of persons visit some sites like yahoo, facebook ,youtube and google..If you sandbox their web-browser they are safe.... Also CIS runs unkown app. in the sandbox...........And noob will always manage to get infected whit KIS or CIS installed on their pc you can be sure of that.I'm sure that in this world there are pc infected that run both KIS and CIS so ..........
For CIS being able to compete whit KIS is a major step in the right direction.We should all support them because they do this for free......

[ALookingInView]

Something it'll do that CIS can't?

I'll give you two things.

1. A Behavior Blocker
2. A respectable and proven detection rate.
