Will this version work for Windows 8 computers? Also, do you have to uninstall anything first before installing Kaspersky? Thanks to all. I think Windows Defender must be disabled first.

It says on the box that it is compatible with windows 8. The only thing you need to do to install is close all programs and run the install. Program will let you know if you need to do anything else. Just follow the instructions in screen.

It works. I, too, had issues with getting QB to work. I discovered that Windows 8 has its own anti-virus/malware enabled by default. Once I found out how to disable that, I reinstalled QB, reenabled the protection and QB works with no problem.

It depends on the seller and the OS.Most public sellers include Norton or the such, but Windows 8 versions also come with Windows Defender.

You should *have* a reputable antivirus app on your machine, but Microsoft's Windows Defender is acceptable if you would like a free, basic, easy to maintain software. Please also read the following article: Tools for a Safer PC - Krebs on Security - http://krebsonsecurity.com/tools-for-a-safer-pc/ (Note that "Microsoft Security Essentials" is now known as "Windows Defender" which I referenced above.)

If you buy Kaspersky 2012, it has an option to update to 2013. It's a free update and it's no trouble at all. When you install 2012, sometime after that, you'll see an envelope on your desktop Kaspersky Gadget in the upper right hand corner. Just click on it and follow the instructions. Click ok or yes for the update. That's all you do, but I don't know how long the update takes. It probably depends on your computer. I just read some answers to your question and one of them says the update isn't free. Mine was the last time I updated a year or so ago unless they changed things around.Hope this helps.

I have version 7.53 which was released on October 18, 2013. I also have Windows 8 and they both work perfectly together. The developer, Anthony, is great to work with. Almost immediately, he will respond to any of your questions. His customer service is wonderful. Also, the software is so easy to use. I have been using it for years and love it!

Patrick, I used Kaspersky for years with XP on my Dell Inspiron 530 and it worked just fine. Earlier this year, after Windows no longer backed XP, I replaced the XP on my Dell Inspiron 530 with Windows 7 and that also works fine with Kaspersky. I would go to the Kaspersky site on Google and ask their advice.

I bought this long before the release of Windows 8.1. (This was a gift for younger brother.) I don't want to assume that it's not compatible. Do you participate on any online forums that focus on these type of games? They would be better able to answer this question for you.

Nevermind, I got it! The manufacturer is "Pro Ebiz LLC". You have to download their Windows Update from there apparently.. But that didn't really help. I just had to select to "manually install the driver", then point the install to C:\. You will get a security warning about installing the driver, but go ahead and do it. The device works great!!! Thanks a lot!

im running games for xp in compatibility mode. on win 8 64. many just seem to be more reliable with compatibility selection. only problem i've had, which was easily resolved was one made only for vista. Worms armaggedon and Master of Orion 2 were made for 95. I updated worms to make it work right. win 7 games work fine on win 8. I prefer using desktop on win 8. the start screen is a little gimicky, but alt tab is the only key combo i need.

Like all Windows computers, it has Windows Defender built in. Alternative software, such as Norton, Kaspersky, or Trend Micro are not included, unless you buy this as a bundle.

Full installation; but, this version is for use on XP machines ---&gt; doesn't work on modern Windoze boxes --- need version specific to -7 or -8 and/or -64 bit, if using those machines. Install this version on newer machines and computer will respond with, "Are you talking to me?"

It comes with a free trial of McAfee. Right now I just use Avast, it's free and it works.

If it has Windows 7, it does not. Microsoft has a lightweight free antivirus called Microsoft Security Essentials. It's automatically installed on Windows 8, but you have to download it from Microsoft's website on your own. I believe this computer had a trial for Norton on it, but I recommend the Security Essentials.

I downloaded it on windows XP and Windows 7 was able to go 100%. It didnot show that it would work on windows 8.
