But Malwarebytes states that it is compatible with Kaspersky, and my understanding was that it allows Kaspersky (or whatever AV package you’re using, if you have one) to do the heavy-lifting.

I have been using KTS and malwarebytes premium together for a very long time with no issues whatsoever. Today, after a KTS update, I received an incompatible application recommendation. KTS is my primary AV, but I do not want to remove MB as it gives me an extra sense of security, particulary when browsing websites (where I find MB seems to be more effective at preventing connections to potentially malicious website components). In short, I want to keep both! Malwarebytes recommendations on this issue are that it IS compatible with Kaspersky, so I’m perplexed as to why Kaspersky are now advocating the removal of MB. A stated above, if I’m having no issues, why should I stop using it? Please can Kasperksy update guidance on this to re-instate compatibility with MB. Thank you!

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section. This does not really relate to the community forum, but I considered it an idea / suggestion for Kasperskymore than a question.

Hi, After the March 2020 update for Windows 10 there seems to be some sort of conflict with KTS firewall. Problem: After the Windows 10 update was installed, I could no longer access the internet using non-microsoft browsers (firefox, chrome etc). The Edge browser continued to function and was not affected. The firewall settings (within Kaspersky) were unchanged, and allowing network access to firefox and chrome as usual. Temporary fix 1: At first, I thought this was a Windows issue and used the following commands to reset my connection: netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset Initially, this workaround seemed to work but only for a week or so. I then decided to check what would happen if I turned the firewall protection off (on a trusted site). Lo and behold, I could access the internet again. So, it was a firewall issue after all. Current temporary solution: This eventually led to the discovery of a new workaround. If I click through, via the Kaspersky portal, to a linked Kaspersky information page, the browser opens and I can then access the internet as usual. If I want to gain internet access using a different browser, I first have to change it to my default browser and then click through via the Kaspersky portal to open the browser. New problem: So while this workaround has fixed my internet access issue, I have encountered a new problem today. I cannot update an application because it is also blocked by the firewall, despite all KTS firewall permissions set to allow. Other info: I think Kaspersky is probably aware of this issue, as opening a new instance of firefox (without using the workaround) opens a Kaspersky URL suggesting it is a “hotfix” for Windows. The “hotfix” URL doesn’t seem to work for me, but clicking through from the Kaspersky portal does. Just thought I’d flag this issue to share my experience, and in the hope that there may be a more permanent fix for this problem in due course. Thanks!
