  1. 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.

  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.

  3. @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.

  4. @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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

    Try this method to bypass the protection: once You have the site opened in Safe Browser mode (green borders) window browser, change its size, I mean, don't maximize it, leave a space to show the desktop, then 1 left mouse click over the desktop -> press [Print Screen] key in your keyboard, open an image editor (paint.net, or similar) -> Edit -> Paste

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

    Hello @jonny quest  & @SystemInfo

    Also, be alert to which options are selected as "rollback' is not available for all - in other words, make sure you have backups, restore points - before running these tools. 

    Re: "I just wish Kaspersky...", @jonny quest, please submit a Feeback, I have a suggestion, or I have a complaint request

    Thank you?
    Flood?+?

    Thank you for that reminder, @Flood and Flood's wife ?

  10. 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.

    But it's missing folders to do browser checks that ccleanner enters to scan.

    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.

  12. 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.
