Kapersky 8.0.0.506EN causes Win XP SP2 to Hang
Posted: 30. Jun 2009, 04:09
I'm testing Antivirus software on my guest XP VM (Ubuntu HH 8.04 host), and stumbled upon a problem with Kapersky AV. The Virtual machine hangs!
Luckily, I can kill the AV before it gets to fully hang the VM (took a few efforts).
.... Just to let everyone know who is thinking of using Kapersky in VBox. Btw Kapersky is a great AV for non-VM Windows OSes, and their FREE Linux-based bootable CDRom AV rescue-disk can crush infestations in a virus-laden PC.
AVG Free is lightweight and provides adequate protection. Should've search the forums, because this is the conclusion made by another user in the "Windows Guests" board.
