Hello!
I downloaded a program yesterday and my security procedure since I was a teenager has been to scan stuff as soon as I download it, before executing the program / installer I downloaded.
I tried doing that yesterday, but I see that Kaspersky no longer scans from the right click context menu in Windows and doesn't open anything anymore when trying to check reputation in KSN. The buttons are there but they simply don't do anything. It has never not worked before.
I remembered that my Kaspersky Premium updated itself about a week ago and I think it has something to do with that.
I have been a Kaspersky user since it was called Kaspersky PURE, so a LONG time, and I've never had this problem before with context menu options not working.
I tried fixing it myself by completely uninstalling Kaspersky Premium, restarting my PC, reinstalling it, then restarting again. The menu options disappeared and then reappeared as they should, but they still don't work after the reinstall.
My OS is Windows 11 Pro x64 Build 22631.
App version is 21.18.5.438(a).
Another question: I am Romanian and I see that all kaspersky programs have been removed from the Google Play Store today, which means that the mobile authenticator and antivirus apps that i also use will not update anymore, how do I bypass that? I am not American and I don't understand why the idiots at Google removed MY access to kaspersky products too.
I haven't used Bitdefender since about 2004 and don't want to have to move to them, even though they are Romanian like me, because I believe Kaspersky is superior in every single way from my experience.
Please assist me if you can, thanks! 🙂
