As for other remote access software such as Ammyy Admin, ShowMyPC, NoMachine, Radmin, imPcRemoteInstant, Firnass, Google Remote Desktop, GoToMyPC, DameWare Mini Remote Control and RealVNC, they are all prohibited from remotely controlling Kaspersky. Starting from version 2013 onwards, it has started allowing some third party remote desktop applications such as TeamViewer and LogMeIn to remotely control and configure Kaspersky. While this is a safety feature to protect Kaspersky, it can also be a possible annoyance when an administrator legitimately wants to remotely configure the antivirus or internet software.įrom what we’ve tested, Kaspersky versions 2010, 20 block all remote control programs except for the Remote Desktop Connection that is built-in to Windows from controlling Kaspersky. If you’re connected to a remote computer using a remote access software, you won’t be able to configure and control Kaspersky as the graphical user interface does not respond to mouse clicks. A unique feature found in Kaspersky but is not available in other antivirus such as Avast, Avira, AVG, ESET, Bitdefender and Norton is the ability to prevent most third party remote access software from interacting with the program’s interface. The example above is only a very basic self defense mechanism and it actually protects much more than that. Other than that, the antivirus must also be very good at protecting itself to prevent its processes from being forcefully terminated or modified by an external application so that it can continue to run on the system and monitor for suspicious activity.Ī simple example is attempting to end the avp.exe process that belongs to Kaspersky using the Task Manager and it shows an “Unable to terminate process” error window with the message “Access is denied”. An antivirus software must be efficient in detecting and blocking a malicious software to ensure that the computer stays safe while connected to the Internet or network.
