KAV & SP2's WSC

[Nehmo Sergheyev]

Win XP Home SP2
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Scanner 4.5.0.97
CPU AMD Athlon XP-A 2800+


The SP2 Windows Security Center says the Anti-Virus is installed but the
status is unknown. But the status is displayed in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Control Center, so I suspect Kaspersky can't communicate its status to the
Windows Security Center.

On
http://www.kaspersky.com/faq?qid=151827128
It says K is compatible with SP2:
'Version 5.0 of Kaspersky Anti-Virus is fully compatible with Windows XP
Service Pack 2
Version 4.5 of Kaspersky Anti-Virus is compatible with one exception: on
systems based on AMD Athlon 64bit with DEP mode enabled "on access scanner"
can malfunction (KAV Monitor). '

My CPU isn't a 64 bit.

I realize I can get the Windows Security Center to *not* alert me to the
unknown status of the Anti-Virus, but I'd rather have the WSC work properly.
I see that Kaspersky is listed as a MS Anti-Virus Partner
http://www.microsoft.com/security/partners/antivirus.asp
Is there a way to get the Windows Security Center to monitor Kaspersky's
status?

Something wrong with the response to your previous

Well, he didn't like the answer;-)

Yep...wait until Kaspersky bring out an update.

Being SP2 compatible means the program works, not that it integrates
with the new security centre.

I assume you are asking why I posted two identical messages.

I thought my pervious post, with the same content as my opening post
of this thread, didn't make it to the news-servers. So I copied the
content of the post form the Sent-Items folder and reposted – this
time using a more abbreviated subject line. I'm using OE as a
newsreader, and someone might have clicked on Subject bar above the
message list, pushing my message out of my immediate view.

BTW, your post doesn't yet show up on my news-server, but it's on
Google.

4.5pro as an upgrade to the 5.0trail--from their prompts during th
purchase steps. the 5.0 trial meshed with wsc.

strange.

thanks.
