Thanks for reply. Is it safe ? I've been playing these games with Kaspersky running for months now and never had a problem until yesterday when a Quick Scan suddenly detected it. Quick scan only detects when I run the game. After closing the game, quick scan cannot detect. I did a full scan and it said there was nothing wrong with my PC. Do I need to send a report to Kaspersky support?

Hi, I'm not sure wether this is the right forum or the right english term for it, but I have a problem with that little window that opens whenever I try to enter something into a searchbar. As seen in the screenshot, it completely blocks a large part underneath the searchbar for no apparent reason. A lot of the time it blocks auto completion or other stuff for several seconds, making the work process slower. I think I don't have to be reminded that the secure keyboard input is active everytime I want to enter something. Is there a means to have that box toggled off?

Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue when running an administration task to restart endpoints from the console. When I launch the restart task, it works correctly for some endpoints. However, certain machines do not restart at all, without any apparent error in the console. Here are some details: The task is properly deployed and visible on all targeted endpoints The machines are online and reachable The administration agent appears to be functioning correctly No explicit error messages are reported I would like to know: What could be the possible causes of this behavior? Are there specific logs to check on the endpoint side or on the server side? Are there any prerequisites or restrictions (permissions, GPO, system state, etc.) that could prevent the restart from occurring? Thank you in advance for your help and feedback.

In certain cases, ‘Install updates and fix vulnerabilities’ task might fail with some error. Below example contains ‘Error verifying file signature’ error but you may use mentioned keywords and overall approach for investigation of other errors met while running ‘Install updates and fix vulnerabilities’ task. Here are some steps to investigate such problems: First of all view list of updates aimed at installation on client. For this purpose in network agent trace file search for ‘Update to install:’ without quotes. You will get results similar to: etc. Some of found updates are skipped by filters so pay attention to skipped updates and to overall number of updates that should be installed. Some updates might already be downloaded to the target system so at the second step identify which update files are already downloaded and which should be downloaded. In network agent trace file search for ‘is already downloaded’ and ‘needs to be downloaded’ without quotes. In our sample traces results are: Match code of update which needs to be downloaded (79ae03df-d6eb-4de2-b59f-37e963d7a69e) with results detected at step 1 and you will see that KB907417 needs to be downloaded. Open MS Update catalog and search for KB907417. In search results click ‘Download’ button and observe window with results: Name of archive containing required update KB907417 is: otkloadr_c87e2fe94dd873224afa65e2af2473ca3e307a37.cab Search for c87e2fe94dd873224afa65e2af2473ca3e307a37.cab in WindowsUpdate.log from client machine. Pay attention to the found lines: Search for otkloadr_c87e2fe94dd873224afa65e2af2473ca3e307a37.cab in administration server trace file to find URL used by administration server to download required update from MS servers: Now once we know the name of problem update you may offer the customer to temporarily exclude KB907417 from update installation task to let other updates to be installed. Then proceed with investigation. On Administration server use web browser to download problem update from the link identified at step 6 and make sure that its signature is valid. It should look like on below screenshots In case if Digital Signatures tab is not present in properties of this file or signature is invalid then try to re-download with disabled AV solution. If this does not help then make sure that no proxy/firewall affect this issue. Verify that MS certificates are up to date on KSC server. In MMC console / Software updates node right click on KB907417 and ‘Delete update files’. Try to launch updates installation task again. On client machine use web browser to download problem update using link identified at step 5. Verify its signature and proceed same way as in step 8. Additionally compare downloaded file with C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\48ec39650764ea7a46ebe67ecf3b6f47\OTKLOADR.CAB. Verify diginal signature of OTKLOADR.CAB You may use signtool.exe to verify signature of .cab files on server and client: signtool.exe verify /pa otkloadr_c87e2fe94dd873224afa65e2af2473ca3e307a37.cab The utility signtool.exe goes as part of Windows SDK. It is available at C:\<Path to Windows SDK>\<version>\bin\<build number>\x64\signtool.exe In case if digital signature appears to be correct then use standard recommendations for resetting WUA: net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver Rename folders Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat" net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver After resetting WUA launch ‘Find updates and critical vulnerabilities’ task. It might fail several times because WUA cache was cleared. So after getting error just re-launch task again. Once 'find updates' task completes successfully launch task to install updates and fix vulnerabilities (problem update should be included in task scope this time). Observe the results.

Dear KIS Community I don't know why KIS block Brave Browser every first time launch it. When start browsing, it is blocked. Second time of launch it I can browse. Moreover, If I exit my second times browser window then third times is not work too. Unless reopen it (4th). Error by the following action like this. Moreover, I can't find the solution of such this case over Google also. Please help. If the problem still exist, might not renew license. Really bored.

Hi all , I have a VPN software called SurfShark takes long time to launch because of Kaspersky Standard. I've changed some settings in Exclusion of applications but I don't know if that safe or not ? At past I used multiple VPN software launch Fastly with no delay just this software. Hope to tell me about what I did if it's safe or not ?

I have tried several times to figure out how to set my Kaspersky Plus to launch upon startup. There are instructions out there on the internet, but in the "security" area, there are so many places...& cannot figure out which one to use. I always purchase Kaspersky products & have never had a problem with any, however this one is really confusing me. I think it important that the app launch upon startup, otherwise how would I know if I'm protected. Thanks in advance!!!

My family has been using Kaspersky for years and there were no problems. But after updating our family's subscription yesterday Kaspersky Plus is no longer launching on my PC. I gives me an error message about "Microsoft .net failed to initialize" which started today. Never had this issue before. There were some "The prior start of the program failed, do you want to send a report." message and i did send reports but nothing ever came from this. Today Kaspersky Plus does no longer launch at all. It keeps crashing during the launch process. I know there is a multitude of different posts about this issue over the years but NONE of the solutions there did jackshit for me. I'm on Windows 11 Version 25H2. My computer is the only Windows 11 one and the only one with this issue. I tried the repair tool for Microsoft .net which didn't help. I tried reinstalling Microsoft .net which didn't help. I tried installing other versions which didn't help. Nothing does anything. And the ONLY programm with this issue is Kaspersky...

I installed Kaspersky Total Security today, with a one year subscription. However, after it did a scan and restarted the computer, my keyboard and mouse have stopped responding. I tried other keyboards and mice, both wired and wireless as well but it did not work. But they still work on the biOS screen of the pc. I could not find a recovery boot option. So I would like to have help with this.

Does Kaspersky install its own mouse or keyboard drivers or change mouse/keyboard registry settings anymore? I read there were some issues regarding this in the past. And why would the software have to do any such thing? Excuse my ignorance but I’m a noob at antivirus. considering switching from Norton to Kaspersky. thank you

Hello. I just installed Kaspersky internet security and right away my Lenovo yoga 7i keyboard stopped working. Tried several methods before finding the registry method. Problem is, I follow all the steps, I delete the "klkbdflt" entry from the registry leaving only "kbdclass". I hit ok. Then when I close the registry, it comes back as it was: both entries appear in the UpperFilters. What do I do now? Please help, I need this machine for work. When I change it: When I open it again:

I bought kaspersky total last year on an old xps 15 9550 with windows 10 pro laptop. When I used it, I had a huge issue where my keyboard didn't work at all. I use it connected to 2 external monitors and use a wired keyboard. Neither my external keyboard nor my laptop keyboard worked. I then did a lot of trial and error in kaspersky total settings and then somehow my keyboard worked. After that, I don't recall it having the issue with the keyboard not typing. My main concern here was because I use bitlocker and it required a pin at startup and then ask for a windows 10 password, that would still meant If i powered on the laptop, I could still type my bitlocker pin and windows password to get in right? Now just recently, I purchased a new windows 11 pro laptop. I installed kaspersky total on it and also moved the settings from the old windows 10 pro laptop to the new windows 11 pro laptop. I exported and imported the kaspersky file to the new windows 11 pro laptop. Just recently, my keyboard didn't work. Not only that, when I used my wireless mouse to click on icons on my desktop... it was right clicking. I think I had the same exact issue last year when I first got kaspersky total as I mentioned the above example in my 1st paragraph. I then did a full scan and it was fine. I then decided to pause kaspersky, and once I did that, my keyboard worked again and so did my mouse clicking. I then resumed kaspersky total and keyboard and wireless mouse works. Now can you tell me what exactly triggered this? What setting in my kaspersky sometimes causes my keyboard to not work? This makes me want to just pause kaspersky and use the microsoft windows defender that comes with windows. My bigger concern however was let say my laptop went to sleep and I needed to enter my local account password to get in to my desktop. How would I even do that if I can't type at all with my keyboard? I would have to shut down and restart my laptop as my only alternative right? Now in this situation, my keyboard would still work at startup right? Because I have bitlocker enabled on windows 11 pro so I need to enter my bitlocker pin and then my local account password to get into my desktop. So would I been stuck where I would need to do a clean reinstall if it got to this situation? Or my keyboard has to work at startup when it shows bitlocker screen?

Problem solved ! turned out it was badUSB attack prevention instead of device control, we've to authorize our keyboard for remote access via iDRAC

I have Kaspersky Premium. "Previous application launch failed". Apparently after few minutes when Windows boots, Kaspersky crashes and opens up again and displays this error. And it does the same several times again during the day. It's really annoying. I have contacted customer support and gave them all the necessary files (dump and system info files), It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard anything back. I went so far as to fresh install the latest Windows 11 (ISO on Microsoft's website), but nothing changes. I do not have any cracked software and everything I installed are genuine and properly bought. I thought the issue may be due to system stability, so I did a memory test overnight and did some burn-in benchmarks and there are no errors. No other program on my system acts weirdly. I have also tried "Kaspersky removal tool" and did another installation of Kaspersky, but the issue persists. I am very close to uninstalling this for good, and I don't want to, I really like Kaspersky. Please help!

Just a quick check: Could you please take a look at the ‘UpdateHostsFile’ task? Does a script run here? Unfortunately, I don't have Windows 11 available right now to verify this. I'm sure @harlan4096 can help with this... ... and then continue with the KRD.

Hi Berny, Thanks for your quick response. Did run AdwCleaner but the log file is a bit empty ( just shows the pre installed Dell software and registry settings). The screen dump is a bit more useful.

Hi everyone, I have a physical disability which means I have to use an xbox adaptive controller with software called JoyXOff to convert the inputs to Mouse and Keyboard. Unfortunately when I need to change settings for Kaspersky or create exclusions, I am unable to click on these popups to confirm. This then means my carer has to plug in a mouse every time to confirm. I have tried adding the relevant files and folders to the "Allow interaction with the Kaspersky Anti-Virus interface" setting in specify trusted applications but unfortunately it still does not work. Any help would be appreciated as I would like to keep using this software!

When I try to open the Valorant game I get a message saying "Cannot guarantee authenticity of the domain to which an encrypted connection is being established", and even if I click continue the game does not open, and not only that, but from then on the game never opens unless I restart the computer and I get the message again. SSL connection with invalid certificate detected;Riot Client;RiotClientServices.exe;

when I boot my computer and Kaspersky starts I get this popup window saying "previous application launch failed" and asking if I want to send data. I have sent it a few times, but I have no idea what application and what to do about it. Is it talking about Kaspersky? If so, why is it happening and how do I resolve it?

this is the instruction they told me. "Please follow the instructions below for a probable solution regarding your Safe Money issue. 1. Please try changing default browser for Safe Money to a different one and see if the issue persists. Open your Kaspersky Plus app > Privacy > Safe Money settings (click the cogwheel) > look for the "Additional" section" and change the browser > Save. 2. Delete Safe Money browser profile folder and start Safe Money again to create a new folder/profile. Press the Win key + R on your keyboard > type %programdata% and click OK > Kaspersk Lab > delete SafeBrowser > then run a protected browser again. Please note that this will delete your Safe Money list of website entries." ------then i tried to open a website in protected and this end up not working. and i shut down the computer. Again, i received an email the next day, which is today (this is the emailed instruction) "Thank you for your response and for providing those updates. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

I would like some help with this message that keeps popping up every time I start my computer, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software three times and it always reappears, the message says "The previous startup of the application failed" and a report has to be sent , I already sent the report that the message asks for but even so it reappears, I wanted support for this and in the application settings there is no function that disables sending data, and at the time of installation I unchecked the option sending data to report, I request clarification on the matter...
