Anybody Using Kaspersky AV?

[Stevie D]

I just switched from bug-infested Zone Alarm to Kaspersky Pure AV...my computer is much faster...videos that would not play with ZA play like butter...keystrokes are no longer dropped...distorted pictures are fixed...and MBAM has not had one corrupted database. I am in heaven.

Does anybody know what I need to do in Kaspersky to play nice with MBAM? Any exclusions to add and how? Thanks.

I use the combo (KAV & MBAM) & they work very nicely together. I have the exclusions added too of course

I've been using KIS and MBAM PRO on both my rigs with ZERO issues for quite some time.

I do set the reciprocal exclusions, and I do temporarily uninstall MBAM when I install a major KIS version upgrade.

Thanks all...they are working great on my PC and laptop...and no more annoying MBAM Program Load Errors that were being caused by Zone Alarm.

Kaspersky does not schedule any scans by default...should I schedule any? How often? Full or Quick? Thanks in advance.
