Recently Kaspersky Lab presented in Malaysia Packages Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 ( Version 8). The event was attended by Russian Ambassador Alexander Karachava, as well as first and second secretaries of the Russian embassy. According to NSTOnline, Malaysia became the first country in Southeast Asia, where he began selling these products.
Earlier release of KAV / KIS 2009 reported in Sri Lanka, Australia and other countries. In general, the English version of these products is available on the global website kaspersky. com since early June. Dr.. They also say that the new antivirus engine scans much faster.
Meanwhile, the Russian website ' Kaspersky Lab ' no news about the Russian version of KAV / KIS 8. 0. But the latest news on this site is dedicated to end technical support Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6. 0, Kaspersky Internet Security 6. 0 for home users from September 1 this year. Users are prompted to install a newer version of the products used - that is, apparently, the seventh.
' Vebplaneta ' interested in the question of why eighth version (KAV / KIS 2009) does not go to Russia, while actively pursued in Asia. That's what we said Svetlana Novikova from the PR-service ' Kaspersky Lab ':.
' In fact, were the first not these countries, and countries in Europe ( France, Germany), where the product went on sale in May this year. Temporary diversity of product launches in various areas due to the business objectives of the LC and the specifics of a particular region - or more simply, cycle sales in each region. The region EEMEA food Launch planned mainly for the period of '2 nd half of August and September '. How to tell our managers - to please the many users who have returned to active work after the summer holidays. In Russia, CIS and CAV 2009 will be sold August 20 '.
It is possible that the Russian version of zadezhka release KAV / KIS 2009 is related to another cause. Here's what he said Evgeny Kaspersky Internet conference on Tape. Roux:.
' On the various forums and chat rooms (including an online interview) sit some ' trolls ', specifically ' omitted ' our products. On -line information available to us these ' trolls ' are kept by one of Eastern European companies ' think tank ' which is focused not on promoting their products, and the ' lowering ' of others. Moreover, to our knowledge, after sales began KAV / KIS 2009 in Russia the company is going to hold anonymous antireklamnuyu campaign, for which assistance to existing agents, trolls employed a small advertising agency, removed antireklamnye commercials, well, etc.. What we are generally willing to. Let them yelp '.
The responses below Kaspersky even gave an example of one of the sources of trolls, giving a link to the presentation of NOD32.
By antireklamnoy campaign against some of the LC and the extensive replication carry the news of ' breaking the official site of Kaspersky in Malaysia '. As we said Svetlana Novikova, in fact, in Malaysia at the ' Lab ' is not representative - it runs through China BOS office (Kaspersky Lab Asia, operates throughout the APAC). That Kaspersky Lab Asia has recently conducted a presentation of the product in Malaysia, which described above.
Answering the same question on the forum, Evgeny Kaspersky also said that the official websites of the company broke no ' Hacked site is not our official site. What is true - the site of our Malaysian partner was really hacked. Do not keep track. What are we going to do - to take control of all. www. kaspersky. * Around the world, so there was no recurrence '.
