If purchasing this version is updating to 2013 free and is it much of a hassle?

No it is not free. Rather than to go through Kaspersky directly I chose to purchase my 2013 Kaspersky Anti-Virus through Amazon as it cost less.

Sorry but it didn't work for me so I was out my cost... not happy!! They wouldn't authorize it for me after I paid for it.

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.

For me it was a great improvement since I upgraded from 2009. I especially like the fact that my information is only one file now. I did the Amazon download. Hope this helps.

Yes! These are very new units. If additional updates / fixes are available, they can be downloaded for free. Feel free to call us directly with any questions. We'll be happy to help.

It's 2013, but updates it's self in its entirety once installed. I like mine.... I give it a 10 out of 10.

No, the update to the current operating system is free and should be KitKat 4.4.

Yes, mine did ( I purchased 3 units), and it was free in each case. you have to download as an upgrade through menu. I haven't purchased one in the last 6 mos though.

Yes, it was quite easy. Just use the search function and look for Windows Update. Find the 8.1 update, check it, and click install. Windows will restart several times during the process so do this at a time when you don't need to use your computer for at least 1/2 hour. (If you have Windows set to automatically install updates it will just happen when Windows does a check). The only issue I found was with the Asus docking station I have. I had to download a new driver to get it to work correctly.

Up to 14 models. If it says free updates then yes. Everything is in the box as far as registering and updating

Normal no, pay to update maps yearly if you want to. I have operated with mine for 5years and have only done 1 map upgrade. So free to operate except the one map upgrade.

I am really not sure,I have never had an issue with it but I assume you could order a disk for the update if you needed to.

After the free 90 period, yes, you have to pay for the updates. It is $39 for three years at a time. All updates are easy through the software provided and a quick software update through your USB port.

It is my understanding that version 2 is full of bugs still that needs to be worked out and the only place where you could download it is in Japan. So until they work out all the kinks with V2 I'd stay with the original version. If and when it's offered here in the US would be the only time it's safe and worthwhile to install.

They do not automatically update. You need to load an upgrade and it is not free, although the price is fairly reasonable. It is recommended that you do this every other year or so. I agree with Stephen, Marios is fantastic with his customer support, it is second to none. I too highly recommend this software.

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.

Do I have to buy an update version every year? how much will it be and when I down this do I have to buy anything else.

As far as I know updates are free, I got it up & running & immediately had to do an update. I called Uniden Tech support a couple times to get it done but it works great!
