Windows 10: Kaspersky total security 2018 seem causing BSOD on my PC

I wish to stay on topic *Smile


I have used Kaspersky internet security for several years now. In last years new build I did encounter BSOD random shutdowns. I believe from what I have read on the K forum is this years early builds are experiencing this again.

What I did last year to solve mine was this - Write down your preferred settings and ensure you have your product key- turn off self-defense - exit Kaspersky (from tray icon right click) uninstall Kaspersky - reboot - run K-remover (Kaspersky web site) - reboot - install the newest file from Kaspersky update date bases and - reboot

This solved my issues last year, most came to the conclusion some files left over interfered with the new build. This year there may have been problems early on in build A and B (we are at D now) due to the BSOD's being noted on new installs.

Hope this helps some -- Bill

 

Should be fixed now with patch D https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.ph...backupdisksys/

 

I've been in I.T. for 28 years and have utilized and tested many security products over the years. I've been using Kaspersky Total Security on my primary systems for several years now and have found it to be one of the best I have ever run.

Being a tech, I'm fortunate to have several systems running at any time, so I am able to run different security products on a couple of my lab systems for comparison. In that regard, I have found Kaspersky and Bitdefender currently to offer the best protection, with the least problems otherwise.

I recently read a review from PcMag comparing products where they still rate Kaspersky high, and have a disclaimer basically saying that until the accusations are actually proven, they will continue to rate it as such.

 

Many, in the I.T. community still regard Kaspersky Total Security as one of the best, with no concerns over hacking. Personally, I'll trust the opinion of my fellow I.T. people before I trust any propaganda from the government or it's news outlets. (Still with no actual, verifiable proof). What many do not know, is that many of the better security software out there are from various foreign countries. Many jumped on the paranoia bandwagon, but ignored the spying that the NSA has done. Double standard ? Which foreign products should you trust?
If you ask enough I.T. people, you will get many different recommendations, some of which is just based on their own favorite, but also take into consideration special circumstances they may have regarding compatibility.

 

I've uninstalled Kaspersky antivirus and I just use Defender now. I'd rather have the NSA than the FSB spy on me plus my bank has withdrawn their free Kaspersky licence.
