You already did help and answered my question. You showed me the setting in Kspersky that had created the script and why it was there. I had already resolved the issue before posting my question by simply renaming the file extension of the script from .js to .txt and after restarting my Firefox browser I was no longer blocked from changing the setting in about:config. Also, I don't publish sensitive information that you are requesting on public message boards. And you, as a security company representative, shouldn't ask users to do so either. Sending that data over a private message to one of your reps would be more appropriate. Thanks for your time.

Okay, yes. I do see that setting for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird as you mentioned. The script that had kept me from toggling the settings in about:config is called: "kl_prefs_62fbb8f7_c917_4cf7_957a_aad2b8fa768c.js" But what concerns me now even more was that I had installed KTS back in January of 2018 and have not changed any of the settings after I had first set KTS up, yet the timestamp of the JavaScript file in question shows that it was just created 4 months ago. I don't like new functions being added that I did not expressly set up myself especially when it comes to trust certificates. As far as HotSpot Shield, I only mentioned them because they were used for the Kaspersky "Secure Connection" (Or at least it was back in early 2018) and also the main reason that I did not use it due to HotSpot Shields horrendous privacy issues.

While going through some of the low-level settings of my Firefox web browser I noticed that one of the settings was blocked and I could not toggle the setting from true to false. The setting in question: "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" was being blocked from change by a JavaScript file in the "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\prefs" directory. I had specifically disabled the web security functions within Kaspersky Total Security yet this script had altered my web browser to use Microsofts certificates instead of Mozillas. Is this setting needed for anything other than Kaspersky's web security or proxy for HotSpot Shield? Thank you for your time and any response
