i don’t know what to tell you, i asked them directly and this is the full response: “Greetings! My name is S****.I apologize for my late response. Appreciate you getting in touch. Here are some steps to address the issue: 1. Open the Kaspersky Internet Security program -> click on the settings window (at the bottom left corner) -> go to the 'Additional' section and select 'Update'. 2. Select "Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when new versions are available". However, if you don't have this option, unfortunately, the developers have removed the options to: → Download and install new versions automatically. → Do not download new versions automatically and do not notify me when new versions are available. This is because our developers have deemed that regularly upgrading our products to the latest versions is necessary to keep the effectiveness of the security they provide. Additionally, please also be informed that a suggestion/feedback has been proposed to our developers regarding this issue. As of now, it's hard for us to say how long it will take to implement them because all features are planned and evaluated the way in advance. But do keep an eye out for updates! We remain at your disposal.
