Hi, i’ve recently decided to try out Linux Mint Cin 20 as my OS for work. However, it seems like it doesn’t have very great free antiviruses. I understand that Kaspersky Cloud is a free Windows-only application. So, I installed Wine, it creates a Windows API for Linux so I can run most Windows applications. Does anyone know if Wine would run Kaspersky well? Maybe it would work for proactive detection? (By the way, my “C drive” is just a hidden folder in Linux). Maybe it would just protect that folder?

Hi, @FLOOD No, so far, my school has not specifically disallowed using a VPN. Thanks again.

SOLVED! It seems like my school has done some stuff to block certain websites… Kaspersky probably classified it as insecure or something. So, I tested it out with Kaspersky VPN and I didn’t bump into any problems! Now I can use Discord too :) Thanks, FLOOD and Berny for the assistance and your time.

Hi, thanks for the detailed reply! Sure, when I get back to school, I will get an image. Will do when I get back to school. It happens on Firefox. I have just updated Kaspersky to 21.1.15.500 No, not yet, as I don’t feel comfortable leaving my protection. However, I will keep it in mind as a last resort. I will keep you updated as soon as possible. Have a good day.

I recently gone back to school (in my country, the cornavirus cases are quite low). So, I logged into it’s internet (Password Protected WiFi). I think it does block certain websites while using their internet, however, when I go to www.deviantart.com Kaspersky blocked me with an explaination “ The security of your connection is reduced. Criminals can attempt to steal your data from the website. You are advised to leave this website. “. I have tried going there while using my home wifi and found that Kaspersky did not block the website. I will attach a screenshot of the warning. Is there a way to tell Kaspersky that I want to continue and ignore the warning? There isn’t any button to press...

Alright, i’ll give it a try later.

Hello! I’ve been trying to test some malware samples on a Virtual Machine using virtual box. However, Kaspersky keeps blocking it on the virtual machine even when I do not want it to? Is there any way I can disable Kaspersky just for the virtual machine and not for the host system?
