Thank you for all the information. I think I have a lot of reading to do, I will come back to let you know how I went - or if I get stuck. Best regards

Thank you for your interest and reply To answer your queries 2 and 3 I will have to take some time to review in depth to give relevant replies - I may not be able to do that of a few days when I will get back with replies. I also want to check and make sure I did not miss anything in the program. Re KTS version & patch(x) = 21.2.16.590(b) Re Q4 - from your reply it seems that Trusted Applications mode, is a different module/ functionality to Trusted Applications not the same as I assumed - could you explain the difference or give me a reference to explain this, though, the first is perhaps moot as it is unavailable, and for the second I should find the answer in the Threats and Exclusions help page. I will try to complete the other items as soon as I can, Best regards

I have a fairly new installation of KTS and reviewing the settings (KTS 21 + W10P ) found: Threats and Exclusions> Manage Exclusions and > Specify Trusted Applications. Lots of entries in Exclusions ( presumably picked up from my previous installation) but nothing in Trusted Applications. In my previous version (KIS) I had some 200+ entries most entered I think by the program a few by me. Then searching the help area I found that in the KTS 21 is listed as now “Removed the Trusted Applications mode” so I now an not sure what the situation is. I have read the "Kasperky Threats and Exclusions" help page and find it confusing also some features do not correspond with what I find in the program. Can anyone advise please - is there any point thinking of recovering the previous entries {probably impossible as I did an uninstall) and in this new version, what if any is the best way to use this facility? Thank you,

Thank you again for your very informative answer. I shall keep an eye on the green shield in the tray in future. Seven day delay seems strange - perhaps chosen to spread the update requests? hopefully none of them are urgent. I have a fairly new installation and I have being going through the settings - your help has encouraged me to start another question about Trusted Applications which is different to my previous KIS . Best regards

I clicked on Best Answer in wrong place - can I correct this?

Thank you. And especially for the prompt and informative answer. I also have learned an important fact - while we may trust the automatic minor updates some people (me included) do not reboot very often - do we get any warning when a reboot is required? Best regards,

Apologies for the simple question, probably I missed the answer somewhere. Is there a selection in the program settings about application (Total Security) updating or is it a completely automatic process? Thanks.
