Users should also only download the light version of Sumo as the other versions contain extras. Pro users can be led to straight to the updates developers site but it still doesn’t lead you right to the download. The other downside is that while it tells you about updates it doesn’t actually give you the update link and you have to then find the update yourself. However it can be risky as some software can be device dependant and so it might tell you there’s an update for let’s say an intel driver, that actually is for newer intel devices. Sumo uses information from other people – so if a user is using 1.0 and another is using the newly released 2.0 it will let you know. It is compatible with any of the following Kaspersky products: Kaspersky Anti-Virus 9, Kaspersky Internet Security 9. There’s two updaters I tend to use – FileHippo and Sumo – FileHippo’s updater has sadly went downhill – it’s been stuck in it’s current beta version for a long time and seems like they have forgotten about it, with a lot of updates missed. If for any reason you are unable to uninstall one of the Kaspersky family products from the Add or Remove Programs option in the control panel, KAVRemover is a small tool that lets you do it easily and quickly. However the actual program seems very easy to use with a simple user interface which is always good. I’d prefer if it just downloaded the updates and let me actually instal them – that way you can make sure nothing extra is installed. Just something to watch out for if you don’t want these programs running in the background when you boot Windows. Skype was also enabled I had disabled that much earlier– like forever. Kaspersky had added a service to start at Windows boot-time. Tip: I checked the Start Up tab in the Task Manager. See the following Tip… if there was anything sneaky about this installation, this was it. This is a personal choice, but I would rather run this manually than have the program running in the background all the time. If you click this, and I recommend you do, it will bring you to the Settings window. Once you run the program, in the bottom left corner, you will notice the usual Gear Icon. 30 years later and nobody seems to have gotten this right. I’m here to tell you, do not trust progress bars. Incidentally, it took no where near the predicted five minutes to download. As I mentioned before, there are no sneaky additional bits– all on the up and up.
