  1. I think it's prudent to update the virus definitions on my rescue drive at least once a year. Sorry if you don't agree. I was disappointed to discover that several other users have reported the same problem. (I needed to use Google to search the Kaspersky forums!) In each case, no solution was provided, only additional requests for more information and unneeded questions as above. I'll search for an answer elsewhere.
  2. Thinking that there might be some problem with my existing Kaspersky Rescue Drive, I re-created it from scratch using the instructions on Kaspersky's website. However, the problem remains: As soon as I make any choice from the KRD menu, my screen goes blank and my computer is unresponsive. I should say that this is a brand-new Windows 11 PC purchased from Dell not quite 4 months ago.
  3. I have a Kaspersky Rescue Disk that I created at the beginning of 2023 on a USB flash drive. Today (12-7-2023) I booted my Windows 11 PC from the flash drive to update the virus definitions. I got as far as the opening menu, where you select graphical mode, not graphical mode, hardware info, etc. No matter what I chose, my screen went blank and became unresponsive, and I had to restart my computer. I came to this forum to see if anyone else had this experience, and was surprised to see no mention of the rescue disk - see the attachment. Thus my question: Is the Kaspersky Rescue Disk no longer supported?
  4. On September 16, 2022 there was no solution for removing the transparency [see https://forum.kaspersky.com/topic/kaspersky-plus-transparency-effect-27723/ ] and apparently Kaspersky has decided not to offer users the option to disable it.
  5. Comes from Kaspersky. Here are my settings: Here are Windows 10 settings: Light: Dark: Transparency effect appears in all situations. No way to disable?
  6. How to turn off and disable the transparency effect in the Kaspersky Standard interface?
  7. I'm sorry, but you haven't answered my question. My question was not 'why does it take so long to scan a computer'? I said: "I understand very well that a routine scan of a computer for malware can take many hours." My question was: "... why does Kaspersky Standard running on Windows 10 say that the scan has less than a minute left when the truth is that the scan is not nearly over and, in fact, has many hours to go"?
  8. I understand very well that a routine scan of a computer for malware can take many hours. That's to be expected. This being the case, why does Kaspersky Standard running on Windows 10 say that the scan has 'less than a minute left' when the truth is that the scan is not nearly over and, in fact, has many hours to go"
  9. I’m giving up, because I can see that I’m not going to get an answer. Fortunately, these informational messages only appear roughly once per week. As long as it’s only going to be that often, I can learn to live with them. FYI: The password message to which I refer is just the most recent example of the informational messages that Kaspersky Internet Security displays. None of my web browsers store passwords or log me in automatically. The messages come from Kaspersky Internet Security, not from a web browser. A country’s data privacy provisions have no bearing at all on whether or not Kaspersky Internet Security can display generic informational messages. Clearly, KIS ignores the user’s choice of whether or not to display informational messages.
  10. “A full screen image of the front screen of the KIS application” “A full screen image of the "Storing passwords in a web browser is risky" alert” I have dismissed the message. “Is Kaspersky Password manager installed?” No, it is not installed. “May we know the country you live in” The United States. Are you suggesting that Kaspersky is allowed to ignore the user’s setting depending on where they live?
  11. I recently (2/16/2021) installed Kaspersky Internet Security 21.2.16.590(b) on Windows 10 v.20H2 build 19042.804. In KIS > Settings > Interface I removed the checkmark from "Receive informational messages and advertisements from Kaspersky." KIS > Settings > Interface Nevertheless, I continue to receive informational messages. Just today I received a message stating "Storing passwords in a web browser is risky." How can I really stop receiving informational messages from KIS?
  12. Uninstalling both versions with kavremover was effortless, as was installing a fresh copy of KIS 21 and restoring my settings.
  13. Blame that on the developers. I never update KIS manually. I’ll get rid of 20 and see what happens. No big deal if I need to reinstall 21 from scratch - my settings are backed up.
  14. In Windows 10 I can see that two versions of KIS are installed on my PC: 20.0.14.1085 and 21.1.15.500, installed in August, 2020 and just recently. Should I uninstall the earlier version (20.0.14.1085)?
  15. After doing further research on this question, I have learned that there are many types of webcam implementation. Neither Kaspersky nor anyone else can anticipate them all. I previously accused Kaspersky by saying that if the developers really wanted to fix this, they would. I now apologize for those words. If anything, Kaspersky was trying to be helpful by offering webcam protection. Unfortunately, it’s a feature that neither Kaspersky nor anyone else can guarantee will work in every circumstance. The best way to prevent a webcam from recording unauthorized video is with a sliding webcam cover. I’m still researching a method for preventing a webcam from recording unauthorized sound.
