By default, as far as I know, Kaspersky updates itself every 2 hours. Also, if you look on your main UI Home Timeline, it will show you that history.

Agree with @kmscom it could be a region thing? I had no problem from the US connecting with or without using a VPN. Brave browser.

Hello @SudoSlayer As well as with @Berny helpful reply above, you can also use the search option, which does come in handy.

I agree, and I have Liked the above 2 posts, so I'm not into the blind faith approach in what Kaspersky finds, either. But, I guess the "saving grace" is that Kaspersky isn't finding 60-80-100 issues? Run CCleaner or Glary Utilities and I bet they'll find those higher numbers, they do show the key information, but at least Kaspersky seems conservative in what it finds. Last time it was 6 reg keys, now it is only 2.

Hi @Needinfo From more of a normal user side, a question you maybe didn't consider, is the processes and amount of RAM Plus (in my case) uses. My specs as well. The nice feature that came out recently, is the search box at the top of the UI, which can really be helpful. Also, you can enable full-screen mode to see and scroll the multiple options better. Some of the Preformance options I disabled from running in the background, and will run those on demand when desired. I also disabled the Background scan in the Security/Choose Scan/ options. I use another VPN, but Kaspersky's seemed pretty nice from when I did use it. Plus on Android has been performing very well on my device, with no battery drain or issues. Otherwise, there are quite a few notifications you can disable to quiet it down. Go to the gear icon on the bottom left of the main UI/Interface settings and scroll down to Notifications and below it. The best thing you can do as @Flood and Flood's wife mentioned, is to run a trial of it and see how you like it. Kaspersky does uninstall pretty cleanly as well.

@Flood and Flood's wife that's the only thing I could figure, too. And in my Kaspersky Plus, as well as with your Premium, if I just leave that typed in the search box, it will stay there unless I hit the X. So if I just leave that search and click my mouse in the search box, it automatically goes to the Firewall panel. Unfortunately, it's not like we can go into Program Files (x86) and find a shortcut to link to the Desktop, but it seems like that's the best that can be done.

Downvoted where? I just see some of us following this topic and that @Berny and I Like your post, that you said you'll keep us in touch if you get a solution from support?

Hi @Terry753 I get those too. Kaspersky Plus on Windows 11 23H2. I just think it's Kaspersky? not knowing how to interpret it or from the app itself. It's never been a worry for me. And Kaspersky Standard beta on a Windows 10 22H2 PC.

@LICIL It sounds like you pretty much answered your own question. Kaspersky Plus in and of itself is wonderful protection, along with our common sense web surfing, email, etc habits. I do the same thing, just run the occasional 2nd opinion scan which hasn't found anything else, anything new, either. Cheers 🙂

@Flood and Flood's wife I admired the wonderful, succinct, and step-by-step instructions you provide here on the forum, thank you :) @Bav I know exactly what you're saying, and I may take @harlan4096 advice and fill out a feedback ticket for this option as well. I have 7 devices in my home office network, 4 of which have Kaspersky Plus installed, and the other 3 with a different AV that use Windows firewall. I use the Glasswire free version on my main PC, as to monitor those first-time outbound connections. So I know what you're saying, otherwise, I would probably use Kaspersky on that PC as well, as per your first post feedback. Just a simple pop-up option to notify, and then allow/deny outbound connections would be wonderful. And thank goodness in v21.15 allows a search within the app itself, it comes in handy in finding a feature or setting I'm looking for :) Kind regards.

Agree with @Crylune I just tried it on my end, even running uBlock. Try disabling all your extensions, then re-enable them one at a time to see if one of those is causing the issue. Kaspersky Plus 21.15.8.493. Edge v.119.0.2151.97

I don't know about just disabling the firewall, as Kaspersky Plus has so many other background processes that could be running in tandem with the firewall (can it truly totally be disabled?), it may be asking for trouble, especially with how intense Comodo is by itself. I agree with @Berny let Plus function as how it was designed to, that's where it's getting some of the best protection ratings as in AV-Comparatives, independent tests etc. Just my opinion in trying to make things work together.

Agree with the above two posts, no unnecessary prompts when you follow their screenshots. Two Kaspersky Plus installs and a Beta Standard are running smoothly and quietly on 3 PCs.

Same thing on my end.

Hi @shindegeist That's really not going to happen unless you use a 3rd party app, browser extension, and even those get circumvented by YouTube after a bit. So it's not a Kaspersky issue or setting that can take care of it. Go to Malwaretips forum and search "YouTube ads" for anything that may be of help. I spend enough time on YouTube to justify the cost of a Premium membership, so, fortunately, I don't have to deal with that cat-and-mouse ad game on YouTube. Regards.

With 21.15 it's working. Edge and Chrome.

Hello ? It's been a while since this thread started, but do we have the option yet to lock the Kaspersky app. I couldn't find anything in its settings. It's nice that I can lock other apps, but all one would have to do is uninstall Plus to clear all the other app locks, correct? My version of Plus on Android is 11.97.4.9681. Android version 13. Thanks

That worked ? You can also follow the same steps using the Snipping Tool (I have it, access from Taskbar).

Hi @OldPossum would you mind posting your solution for those of us who in the future may run into this problem, and hopefully then know how to resolve it? Thank you for your consideration.

Let alone Standard includes the firewall, which many of us who used to use the AV (Basic) liked, and purchased it for that reason.

Thank you for that reminder, @Flood and Flood's wife ? Your request has been submitted Your incident number is: INC000014758451

Not trying to play both sides of the fence, but I know what you're saying @SystemInfo, but also as in my 1st post, I would rather have Kaspersky do what it's best at, and made for, a security solution and use CCleaner on-demand as needed. To be honest, I hardly use CCleaner anymore, mainly the Kaspersky and the Windows tools and also manually clean my browser history from the browsers themselves.

Yep, in that regard you're right. It's a simplified version compared to CCleaner. I just wish Kaspersky would include both of those options, Privacy Cleaner and PC Speed Up into one module, so there would be less clicking and ticking to find those two options.

It seems to in Privacy Cleaner?

Hello ? I find if you use the Privacy/Privacy Cleaner along with the PC Speed Up, does a heck of a job, along with plenty of options (Privacy Cleaner, scrolling down the list). CCleaner's sole existence in their life is that of a utility software, Kaspersky is a security software with some nice utility features, so I'm okay with that. We also have the Windows Disk Cleanup utility. I also appreciate that Kaspersky does not find all the regestry keys like CCleaner does. I think that could get an average user in trouble if they were to delete all the suggested keys by CCleaner. I like Kapsersky's conservative approach in that regard as well.
