Overview
Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 for Windows is a software program developed by Kaspersky Lab. The most common release is 8.1.0.831, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The main executable is avp.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU load of less than one percent.
