Hi Flood, Thanks for the super quick response. You are absolutely right - when I checked Safe Money again, all the sites had appeared. I’m sure they weren’t there yesterday after the import, but the machine has been restarted since then. The video threw me at first - no sound, and it seemed to show that nothing wasbeing restored or imported, until I twigged that there was nothing to export, either! Thanks again for your help. DeWrek

The eagle has landed, the J version is now installed 😄 A quick view seems to confirm that KSM is now working indeed under Edge-Chromium, I will do some further checks later. The J version has introduced a bug on some sites, but that can be "solved” temporarily by a Shift + F5, as you're aware of. Regards, JW

Hello @FLOOD In fact, Firefox is my main browser and I occasionally open Edge Dev. for checking my company’s email(not supported by Firefox). This morning, when I opened Edge Dev., I found Kaspersky Protection extension was installed in my Edge Dev. . However, I suddenly found that I could not access my Gmail and therefore I post my question on this site. Many thanks for your quick response and I hope the problem will be solved quickly in the future.

Hello @vega109, Thank you for your quick response☺ & the additional information👏 By my count there’s 5 people who’ve reported the issue here in the Community, if each person is on patch(j), (imo) it’s important to contact Kaspersky Technical Support, ask them to assist? They’ll need all the info you’ve provided here, the GSI & Windows Logs and please tell them the issue is resolved if EdgeChromium is run as InPrivate, ask them why that would be? After submitting the case, you’ll receive an automated email with an INC+12digits reference number, then, normally, within 5 business days, a Kaspersky Technical Support human🕵 will communicate with you, also by email, you may continue to engage with the Kaspersky Technical Team via email or by updating the INC in your MyKaspersky account. Please keep us posted with any updates they provide please? Thank you🙏 Flood🐳

Hello @FLOOD Many thanks for your quick response. My Gmail is still not accessible even I deleted the Kaspersky Protection extension. The image below is my edge://settings/privacy configuration (balance). Prior to patch(j) the GMAIL/me.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com issue didn’t happen.

Hello, @FLOOD Many thanks for your quick response. I use KIS20 updated to patch (j) , and this picture below is what I saw at my computer on Windows 10 using Edge Chromium. However, my Gmail on Firefox is OK. This method “KIS Settings > Additional > Network > Traffic Processing > Inject script into web traffic to interact with web pages is unchecked, reboot” does not resolve the issue.

Hey, when this window above is open - press on the keyboard IDDQD and the icon should make the switch.

Hi! Try to scan driver separetely without using Full scan option: you can select the concrete drives to scan and check in what cases the issue occurs (try to select only internal drive, then try to sellect external drivers). In what cases the issue occurs? Then try to select all drives (or manually or using Quick scan scope option) and also check does the issue occur in this case? Please tell about the results. Thanks!

I don't understand why a second thread would create chaos in tracking? But I can understand why you are changing this thread description to make it look , like there are 2 problems connected together. But that's absolutely not true! KIS18 versions are unable to protect stealing data out of the Safe Browser easily by using the "print" key of your keyboard. Even If you are experiencing no problems with Safe Browser! Thanks for your help, I will contact tech support and post the security issue on facebook.

Thanks for the replies first.Let me tell you I'm really a experienced user working for over 15 years with all kinds of software and operating systems. Of course I'm smart enough to know, that upgrading from KIS18 to KIS19 (clean deinstallation + new install) could solve the problem I was explaining above.But if you read carefully I wanted to know if there is a way of fixing my installation without a new installation.As Fenderman said above , It is common knowledge there had been lots of problem with KIS19 after release, so there is always a reason to still use the KIS18 version if it is working properly for your system. Maybe with the newest Patch E from 8th April KIS19 is working much better and I will git it a try, because until now I still found no way to fix my KIS18 Safe Browser. I will do this later and leave a reply here. But let us please talk again about the BIGGER SEURITY ISSUE I posted above. It seems all KIS18 versions are unable to protect stealing data out of the Safe Browser easily by using the "print" key of your keyboard. People, this is easiest backdoor anyone could use. Unfortunately I was able to reproduce this Issue on my laptop, that is telling me KIS18 works properly and it is protecting me.The laptop isn't using any special 3rd party software to get the information, simple copy past by using print key and Safe Browser was in full screen mode. I will leave you a picture of this at the end of my post, and I think I should open a new thread to spread this information around! Knowing this I would advise everybody to check if this security Issue is still present in the KIS19 version.

I thought I was something to do with the database update in all fairness as it only detected it after the update. I don’t think I even finished my quick scan. What is strange though is it isn’t detecting the .exe again when I re-download it through steam. edit: I also put a ticket in through the support in my Kaspersky. Hopefully they should give me an answer. Also I did a full scan last night and nothing was detected. also about the windows, I just keep forgetting to do it. I’ve been meaning to get it done.

I'm experiencing really crazy behavior with the Safe Browser of KIS18. I'm using Win7 SP1 64Bit , FireFox 66.0.3 64bit . It was working well in the last weeks/months/years, but since 2 days ago I'm only getting error messages. If I enter Safe Browser for Firefox I get this : Advanced information: As you can see, red error message about Bookmark- and History-Systems that are not functionally. Upper right corner shows a information message for the kaspersky protection add-on, if I click on it : I'm asked to activate the plug-in , but doesn't matter if I click on "activate" because this setting will not be saved. Every time I enter Safe Browser I see the same as shown above. I researched the security settings for crypto modules and certificates. Crypto-modules looks damaged, because of multiple entries, I have no rights do delete the obsolete ones , picture : The Kaspersky certificate is missing, if I try to import it , I'm getting next error , telling me I have no rights to import it : The normal mode of my Firefox is working perfectly, I can open all https / SSL sites, kaspersky certificate installed, no profile issues. I Tried mozilla troubleshooting workarounds and wanted to delete files in profile folder of safe browser firefox profile, but like before I'm not aloud to rename or delete those files. Kaspersky seems to protect this folder. I can't change possession or rights for the profile-folder in C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\SafeBrowser\kis , funny because I'm the only User set for this machine and logged in as Administrator. I still haven't found a way to delete or change this files, but I can change the name of the folder above"kis" . If doing that and starting safe browser again, kaspersky will create a new kis and profile-folder with same problems and no rigths for me to delete the files. Do I really have to re-install KIS or upgrade to KIS19 to get rid of this problem? I don't care about history/settings/bookmarks from safe browser profile , but I don't want to loose all my settings set in KIS and absolutely don't want to loose my working firefox profile or any information within it. I'm having 2 more computers on the same network and operating system, all working still well with safe browser, I can use them If I really need safe browser. But in general I would like to fix this problem on my main machine. ANOTHER BIG SECURITY ISSUE : I was able to get all these screenshots just by the clicking "print" key on my keyboard and copy into paint. Safe Browser was in windowed mode. If using microsoft snipping tool, display information is greyed out and safe browser is protected, but in this case protection totally failed! I will try to reproduce this on other systems.

Berny I checked on my Chrome extension as well and discovered I had the previous version so removed it and installed the latest then rebooted. I already had the latest Chrome but downloaded it again. How ever I now have a grey K shield as opposed to the green one on all sites and when I click on it only the grey icon shows with a line through the eye in the middle the eye plus a grey line then X then another grey line plus a box with green dots in it. When I put the cursor on it, it says Kaspersky Protection has access to the site but I do not get the options of Secure Keyboard, Anti banner etc What do I need to do? Thanks mikethebike

With KIS 2018 and Windows 7 no problem insert/clikking data on VIRTUAL KEYBOARD (e.g. to insert passwords to control keyloggers) via TOUCHSCREEN. But with KIS 2019 and Windows 10 that seems no more possible ! But using the old MOUSE (who get it still ?) yes ! It's confirmed this loss of funtionality ? Eventually what the reason ? Giovanni

Thank you for the quick reply! Sorry, I do have Kaspersky Total Security 2020. I added the images to the same doc and attached it here as well.

Hello, I just installed Kaspersky free AV, downloaded through your website (startup_14441.exe) an hour ago and it destroyed my laptop, latest Windows 10 64bit, default AV Windows 10 Defender + Malwarebytes free (manual mode scan). There is no malware on the laptop, I do daily scans with both Defender and Malwarebytes. The installation of your AV went through fine it seems, it asked me if I want to activate KSN, I said no. It then installed and then there was a popup asking me two things I dont remember, I think if I want the AV to auto remove known malware like dialers and such, and another question. I wanted to click ok/next, but nothing happened anymore. The dialog was frozen. I clicked start menu button, the animation of the button went down, but no start menu appeared. I had Chrome open in the background, and it had asked me to activate the Kaspersky addon, Chrome was still responding at this moment. I clicked yes enable, and at this time Chrome stopped responding too. More and more parts of the OS seemed to freeze/ crash every second. I tried ctrl+alt+del but no reaction. There was still animation going on on the start menu, I could still move the mouse cursor, I could still type with my bluetooth keyboard, but the entire OS seems to be freezing. After about 1 minute or so, I got a bluescreen of DPC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT or something, system not responding anymore. PC restarted. Restarted Windows, logged in, all seemed to work. I opened the Kaspersky systray icon to look through the settings, then maybe after 30 seconds of login, everything started to freeze again. After 1 minute or so, watchdog bluescreen and reboot. Restarted Windows, logged in... same behavior. I am now stuck. Cant uninstall or do anything anymore, the PC is totally broken, because of your software. Tried to boot into safe mode, but pressing F8 during Windows boot manager doesnt do anything, it always boots into normal mode. Triggering safe mode out of Windows doesnt work obviously, because I have not enough time, the system starts to freeze after login maybe 20-30 seconds later.

Welcome. First thing: Please pass your mouse cursor over the Kaspersky tray icon and tell us the full, complete name and version number of your Kaspersky product.

Settings > Performance > uncheck Disable scheduled tasks. Are you in Gaming Profile? Kaspersky Settings > Performance > uncheck Automatically disable some functionality when in full screen mode. Is your Kaspersky license expiring in a few days? If your license is a managed subscription, please click Subscription, located at lower right of the main Kaspersky window, then click the "Update subscription status" button. Then start an Update. If still no go, attach the Detailed update report. Enable Log Non Critical Events: Settings > Additional > Reports and quarantine > check Log Non-critical events. Then do an update. Main Kaspersky window, lower center, More Tools > right side, click Reports > upper right > Detailed reports, upper left > dropdown > Update, select the current entry > right-middle > click Details > Save icon at upper right > Save, name the file and save it somewhere and attach it to your next post.

I'm not asking to switch KIS language, since it is already set to english. When user's keyboard is switched to non-english, I can't switch keyboards using hotkey in KIS, because the hotkey does not work. I must switch using mouse keys on taskbar, which is annoying.

Thank you all for the replies! Yes, I have installed the latest version of VLC media player from the original site. I have now manually removed the files using “Remove from quick access” RM B option and the files didn’t appear afterwords. I couldn’t access the files as there was no file in the said location (C:\Users\xxxxx\OneDrive\Desktop) therefore, Im afraid the files are not there anymore. I have KIS2020 installed in my PC. Thank you and best regards, BJ

How can I change the language from Portuguese (PT) to English (ENG) in the Kaspersky Internet Security app on my laptop (Windows 10)? I tried to search a bit in the forum and the suggested fix was to click shift + F12, but this doesn't seem to work on my laptop, instead that messed up the keyboard output.. Any help would be highly appreciated.

when entering password to KIS2019 application, the language switch hotkey (left alt+shift) does not work. is it a kind of safe keyboard handling? is it possible to make language switch hotkey working?

@BJayakody did you run any particular application prior to those links show up in the Quick Access?

A new Chinese file name showed up on the folder! ”

Kaspersky rescue disk is a great tool that I have been using for a while. However, in my new computer, it fails to detect network adapters. Attached is the hardware related information. Please, let me know if is there a quick parameter fix I could work on. Cheers, Filipe

Hi Flood Thanks for the quick response IE and Edge work fine. It just seems to be Firefox that is causing the problem. Hadn’t noticed it before as I only from IE to Firefox as my default browser about 3 months ago.

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. Right now, I have decided to do some testing at my end just to check whether the problem is indeed from Kaspersky Internet Security or whether there is a problem at my end. Before uploading files, I will pause/disable the protection, and see whether the problem still remains or not. If the problem still remains, then definitely there is something wrong at my end; and if after pausing/disabling the protection, I am able to upload the files without any problems, then definitely there is something wrong in Kaspersky Internet Security settings and then I will get back to you. Thanks
