Hello @torenten, Welcome back! Re the linked topic, after his initial reply, the person who submitted the topic did not reply; that makes it very hard for anyone in the Community to continue to assist. Post a full screen screen-print of “Windows security notification → turn on virus protection" & post back → we need to see what you see? In Windows Search🔎 field, type Windows Defender Firewall → open the Windows Defender Firewall app, take a full screen screen-print & post back please? Is Windows Defender anti-virus, Periodic scanning ON or OFF → post a screen-print please? Please let us know? Thank you🙏 Flood🐳 +🐋 Happy to see you again Flood. Here are the following screenshots/answers to your questions. I also want to apologize in advance as I won’t be able to respond back to you for a bit. Here is what the notification looks like (I blurred out my file names for privacy). Also in case you are wondering, I only have the free on-demand scan version of Malwarebytes installed, so it shouldn’t be conflicting with Kaspersky’s real-time protection.Here is the Windows Defender Firewall page.As you can see, it is being entirely controlled by Kaspersky. One thing to note though is that even though Kaspersky Firewall is turned on, Windows Defender Firewall itself does startup automatically and runs in the background, which is something I can’t change in services. According to the Windows Security Center, the Windows Defender Firewall is off when Kaspersky’s is on, and does automatically turn itself on if Kaspersky’s is disabled. My periodic scanning is set to off. One more thing I feel I should mention. In services, the Security Center (WSCSVC) is set to an automatic (delayed) startup. I can’t change any of the startup settings for this either, and not even sure if this is even related to my issue. Cheers.

Hello, I’m back yet again. My issue is exactly like this topic from the Kaspersky community but it has gone unanswered. As the title and the linked post say, I always get a notification + sound from Windows Security once every startup (about 2-3 minutes after login screen) telling me to turn on my virus protection. But when I open Windows Security, Kaspersky is always enabled and on. I can also see with task manager/logs that Kaspersky had been running essentially right at startup. It’s not the biggest issue but it is a slight annoyance, and I was wondering if there was a way to “fix” this. Thanks.

Hello. I am a new user to Kaspersky and I am wondering if changing the security level of a full scan from optimal to any other of the other options would speed the time to complete the scan. For example, would changing the level to extreme make it complete faster at the expense of more computer resources? Even though I know a full scan may take a bit, I am still trying to get the fastest full scan. I don’t mind if the scan makes my computer unusuable for the duration if it means that it ultimately completes faster. Thanks in advance.

Ok, thank you very much!

Hello! First time user of Kaspersky here, so sorry if the question is a bit dumb. I am running the Kaspersky Internet Security trial on Windows 10, if this helps. Anyways, I’m wondering on how to make sure real time protection/scanning is enabled. In another Antivirus setting, there was a section dedicated to it, but I can’t really find anything in Kaspersky’s settings related to real time protection besides the “Automatic checks and Scan from Context Menu” section. Kaspersky Lab launcher & Kaspersky Anti-Virus are running in task manager, Kaspersky Internet Security appears in the system tray, and Kaspersky seems to have full control over Windows Security’s virus & threat protection section. On a side note, does pressing “exit” on the Kaspersky Internet Security in the system tray disable real time protection? If I exit it, it snoozes Kaspersky in the protection section of the Windows Defender virus & threat until I re-enable it or re-open the Kaspersky app. Again, sorry if I’m missing the obvious, but I just want to make sure the product is working as intended before I buy it!
