  1. I should add that I have Kaspersky installed on my PC at home, and have none of these issues. Which further corroborates user disco’s point that Kaspersky apps have problems on Mac. Argh. Now I have to go through the whole dance of requesting a refund then uninstalling Kaspersky on the four devices it’s on, then finding a different AV solution.
  2. I have a very similar problem. MBP 2018, Catalina 10.15.2. I’m new to Kaspersky, and contemplating requesting a refund. I use my laptop for work. If I put it to sleep for a couple of days due to the weekend, I plug in the power and open it, the system is nearly completely unresponsive, as if it’s crash. Tap the keyboard, press the power button, it just won’t wake. What barely “works” for me is to unplug the power, press the power button several times, tap on the keyboard, etc - and eventually if I’m lucky the mouse will appear on the black screen. Plug in the power, wait a little bit, tap on the keyboard, and again if I’m lucky, it will finally go to the login screen. After logging in, however - most of my applications act as if I don’t have an internet connection. Browser tabs won’t open, messaging apps are stuck at ‘connecting’. Turn off wifi, turn it on, close then re-open applications - nothing. I eventually wind up rebooting the laptop, which restores everything to service. I would be hard-pressed to call this a solution. The other issue I have, which is merely a frustration, is that a full scan completely consumes four of the six processor cores on the machine, and there is no clear way to reign it in - no way to ‘nice’ the process or limit it to going full bore only when the computer is idle, as other applications routinely do. I had previously tried the free version of Kaspersky, and had similar problems. I then tried Bitdefender, which did not have these problems, but for some reason or another I decided to try the purchased Kaspersky product. I’m regretting it.
