[I've suddenly started receiving Windows Security platform antimalware platform updates]

and again. note the update has the same KB and version number as before.

 

[I've suddenly started receiving Windows Security platform antimalware platform updates]

I'm not seeing any scheduled tasks enabled in computer management.

[I've suddenly started receiving Windows Security platform antimalware platform updates]

just happened for the second time today. 😕

 

[I've suddenly started receiving Windows Security platform antimalware platform updates]

I'm using Kaspersky Plus 21.16.6.467(c) on Win 11.

I've noted for about the last week I have been getting  Windows Security platform antimalware platform updates from Windows update just around the time patch c became available.

Windows security tells me Kaspersky is turned on and under windows defender firewall I'm told  these settings are being managed by Kaspersky.

Are these updates coincidental as it has never happen prior to patch c?

have you tried temporarily disabling script injection under network settings?

 

 

[does KIS for android no longer support Samsung Internet browser for safe browsing?]

I updated my wife's Android 11 phone today and was greeted with a warning  from updated Kaspersky that safe browsing wasn't available for the Samsung browser.

Safe browsing only available for Google chrome and firefox whereas previously the Samsung browser was supported.  

Why this change as the samsung browser is really chrome "under the bonnet".

[Kaspersky Android Private DNS notification]

I got that warning as well.

It disappeared after changing the Private DNS from off to automatic.

[VPN doesn't seem to work with latest MS Edge]

I have the premium version of vpn 21.5.11.384 (c) on a fully patched windows 10 21H2 19044.1645

I still sometimes use IE11 for some things and the vpn works fine for all those sites. However if I try the same web pages with vpn turned on using Microsoft Edge Version 100.0.1185.44  I get  "Hmmm… can't reach this page". This is true of all pages I try accessing with Edge. This happens with any of the VPN servers on the list.

Turning off vpn and refreshing the page correctly brings up the page.

Any ideas how to get things working correctly or is this a technical glitch?

[place activation back in reserve]

from my own experience with the same situation, provided you can show Technical support a valid unexpired licence prior to the errored activation  they cancelled my new activation key and issued a new one to replace it.

[VPN Norway blocked by NRK]

what version of vpn are you using as Kaspersky doesn’t automatically update you to the latest version unlike KIS.

[KIS for android, error notification: "Not working. Turn on accessibility for KIS." How to fix this?]

have you looked in settings>accessibility>installed services and turn KIS slider on to on?

[buying licence from amazon]

You can use all 10 in one account…

[How do you disable auto renewal when purchasing?]

I want to purchase a year’s subscription of VPN from the Kaspersky website. 

There apparently seems  no option to disable auto renewal on the shopping cart form as this is a gift and I don’t need /want auto renewal.

Is this possible to do whilst purchasing?

 

[Patch N for KIS 20.0.14.1085 coming? Win10 21H1]

I note that KIS 20.0.14.1085 (m) is not fully compatible with Win10 21H1. Kaspersky shows you a dialogue warning box once you install the latest windows patch.

So does anyone know if a patch n is going to be released to solve this compatibility problem?

[Is it possible Kaspersky total security is overlooking a virus on my PC; someone from Nigeria signed into my Amazon account.]

I suspect that email was simply a phishing one and didn’t actually come from Amazon. I hope you didn’t click on any links in that email to verify your account as that would be a fatal mistake.

btw Amazon doesn’t display your full card number in your account only the last 4 digits.

[Cannot download/install Kaspersky to my mobile device]

I assume you are using an android phone in which case go to the android play store and search for kaspersky anti virus.  Install it and use the activation code from your purchased  kaspersky to unlock its premium features on your phone.

[loss of days to my licence after adding new activation code]

did you install this on your mobile phone when you lost your month’s subscription?

[VPN Android - Account Obligation, WHY???]

how many devices is your subscription for, I believe the usual is 5.

you don’t have to enter the key in the app itself. Try connecting to My Kaspersky from within the app and you should be able to activate the premium version for your phone from there.

 

[VPN Android - Account Obligation, WHY???]

the key has probably been used by other user(s) on ebay.

Always buy from a reputable Kaspersky seller to avoid these issues.

[MS Store require Windows firewall service to update apps]

if you manually disabled the windows defender firewall service in services, try re-enabling it...

[when I try to update to new version, I’m told to uninstall AVG. Reboot, repeat.]

I suspect you unintentionally installed AVG as an add-on whilst installing another program. Maybe Ccleaner? 

Have you checked in Programs and Features to see if AVG is listed as, if it is, manually uninstall it then try installing Kaspersky again

[CD/DVD/USB Autoplay, Security Scan gave me the option to disable this and I cannot find where that option is now.]

I don’t think this has anything to do with kaspersky.

I suspect you want start>settings>devices>autoplay and choose what you want to do with removable drives and usb.  You can also disable autoplay for all devices and media from in there.

[How does one do a database update for Kaspersky secure connection?]

Patch A for Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection version 21.2.16.590 was released on November 16, 2020. Patch A foxes several application issues. Patch A is installed with the database update for Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection.

 

How does one do a database update for Kaspersky secure connection? I can’t see any update button in the program itself.

Previously I uninstalled the old version then reinstalled using the newer version.
