Hello FLOOD, Thank you! Not just for the welcome but also the quick response. I tried to cover everything but I mean it could've been worse as I felt tired and a little bit annoyed after having to rewrite several things again while also a bit worried as to what causes all of this. That its a known issue must be a good thing although this probably also means my rather extensive web research has failed to come up with an answer then. I usually try not to bother people if solutions can be found elsewhere but be assured that I did research thoroughly, but had a hard time to come up with anything. The reason why I speculated this to be an older cause is due to a few posts I found from way back then, on the old Kaspersky board: https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=113804&tab=comments#comment-953960 https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=63141&tab=comments#comment-576888 I just felt like adding this as it seems quite, quite similar although no solution was found, apparently, at least nothing that I could've used. Thank you again, I shall be waiting for your reply. Kind regards.

Hello everyone, after a BSOD I can now write it all again, forgive me some sloppiness. I am currently using KIS 18.0.0.405 and have encountered a severe problem although I do not know if the behavior is not intended. I have not seen this before at least on my machine. As of yesterday, KIS has apparently crashed for the 2nd time without notice within around one month, which I only realized after I hovered the tray-icon which would then disappear upon which I restarted KIS. As usual I was concerned and began a full scan. I left the computer to do this and much later, as the scan was still running wanted to open some files and realized that my C Drive, a 500 GB 850 EVO showed me 5 GB of remaining space. As I was absolutely certain that I would’ve never filled up my SSD that much I tried to instantly investigate but upon refreshing, I also realized that I could literally watch my drive space disappearing into thin air at an alarming rate. Within less than 30 seconds I was down to less than 1 GB and thought of a virus, expecting a crash as I refreshed a last time around 200 MB left. At that point however my SSD space magically went back to my original ~65 GB of remaining space. The problem didn’t disappear as my SSD space was once more rapidly disappearing in front of my eyes, first checking my SSD health and an SSD tool I made sure that this wasn’t just some error, no something was indeed writing at an alarming rate onto my SSD. Using Process Explorer, Process Monitor and the Resource Monitor I figured out that apparently KIS was writing at insane rates to my SSD, all into C:\Windows\Temp as PR****.log. Stopping the full scan would instantly stop the writes, while starting it again would instantly resume the writes. KIS did not find anything under the quick scan and 70 % into the total scan - which is where I aborted - nothing either. MBAM has not come up with anything either. Computer stable - at least until I tried to recreate the issue - for 24 hours. After a lot of internet research I saw some other people had similar problems way back until 2008 and 2010. I eventually restarted the scan and then realized that the write-rates were normal while it was scanning my C Drive, but instantly went crazy once it hit one of my data-drives. Now my assumption at this point is that this is connected to how Kaspersky checks archives. I have a lot of packed files on my data-drives and – I have no idea – at this point guess that Kaspersky analyzes those by somehow unpacking them in a safe environment. On the one hand that wouldn’t be so bad, although my SSD program told me I was currently writing around 2.5 TB of data per day and a full scan of my system might easily take that long which absolutely cannot be healthy. Especially if KIS decides to crash a few more times on me, prompting me to do another full scan. On the other hand even if that is the case, none of my archives is bigger than ~5 GB and I could see no reason why Kaspersky would write that much data onto my SSD and keep it there until the system runs out of memory instead of deleting it again once an archive would be checked. At first I was still not convinced as my storage had magically reappeared as it hit zero, but just as I was still researching my computer had a BSOD for probably the first time in… years. I cannot say whether this BSOD is connected to Kaspersky writing to my drive at all at this point, but it seems too convenient to be a pure coincidence. Trying to turn off the options for checking archives and enabling additionally that KIS should not check archives bigger than 100 MB has proven futile at solving this problem. As I am not even certain whether this is the cause, how Kaspersky actually works in such situations or what I can do at this point apart from moving my TEMP-Folder to another drive – I decided to see if someone can help me at figuring this out. Also note that moving my TEMP-Folder to another drive would not really bother me but it still seems incredibly strange that KIS would write hundreds of GB to a drive and then keep them there until the drive runs out of space. Is that really intended behavior? Would upgrading KIS even solve this problem? Am I on the right track about the archives at all or is it wrong anyway? Thanks for any kind of help. System Info in short: Windows 10, KIS 18.0.0.405, Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD, 4 Drives total (500 GB, 3 TB, 3 TB and 600 GB), 16 GB RAM The rest I assume would not matter. TL; DR: KIS writing insane amounts of data to SSD until SSD runs out of storage, then apparently resets (or crashes to BSOD) while running a full scan, possibly packed files causing the issue.

the zip it created is 7.1MB. It has been 3 Hours, still it is "Transfer In Progress". I checked my internet speed, it is pretty good. I just now also tried uploading similar size file in another site, it was very quick.

Hi, Could you please provide us with GSI log from the host, you are trying to launch a task for?

Hi thanks for your reply I checked other settings and "Detect other software" was already enabled. I have done a database update. As I did a full scan yesterday which revealed nothing, do I just need to do a quick scan today before following the other steps on your post or do i need to do another full scan?

Yes, going to Preferences --> Browser --> uncheck the OS keyboard box. Worked. Thanks.

Lots of users getting an avp.exe update after deploying Kaspersky 11.1 It's an application error, a memory issue on start-up: 0x001d74dc Quick solution? Now we run KAVRemover and usually the second install is fine; but there are lots of users...

Hello dmarrduncan, MAC-KIS, there's no "settings", Turn off/on automatic display of the onscreen keyboard 1) KIS application icon, open Protection Centre, choose Preferences > application preferences window opens. 2) On Browsers tab, in Onscreen Keyboard section, deselect/untick Show onscreen keyboard Also check: Safe Money as OnScreen Keyboard is a Safe$ feature. Privacy (there won't be OSKB, preferences in Privacy, but, there may be other Preferences you'd like to check/confirm) & would you please kindly let me know the 4 recommendations please? Please port back? Thank you:pray_tone3: KIS2020 Library

2, Then click additional 3.Click on Secure Data Input 4. Uncheck “show quick launch icon in data entry fields” and uncheck “Enable secure keyboard input” That's it the keyboard will no longer pop up. But just remember it was put there for the reason of security especially when banking on line for instance. It makes no sound and therefore cannot be heard by anyone listening in from outside etc, unlike your real keyboard which can be heard by hackers with the right equipment. Yes people can do that, through the glass in your windows. Hope it helps anyway

The Kaspersky virtual/on-screen "keyboard" pops up and I don't need it. How do I disable the pop-up, on-screen Kaspersky keyboard?

Hello Mystiky, As well as the information/guidance provided by richbuff & Schulte, are any KAV automatic (Full/Quick) scans running and expansion drives being attached to the system, which KAV will start to scan, at the same time? Please let us know? Thank you.

Thanks for a quick response

Como creo que ya se ha comentado anteriormente, en el KAFree el icono aparece en gris, y es por diseño, ya que no dispone de los módulos Anti-Banner ni tampoco del Privacy Browsing, así que no se muestran los bloqueos de ambos módulos, sólo aparece el acceso al Kaspersky Virtual KeyBoard. En las versiones de pago: KIS/KAV/KTS/KSCloud debería aparecer el icono en verde, siempre y cuando se use uno de los principales navegadores soportados: Chrome, MSIE, FireFox. Saludos.

Hello J M W, Thank you for replying. The reason we ask to test in safemode, is to help determine the root cause, allowing us to provide a solution. Same as why we ask for any reports that may shed light on what is causing Network Speed Checker app, on your PC, to not run, when KTS is active. --- I've tested: on 2 W10 pcs, KTS active, Network Speed Checker app installed. NSC runs without any issues. --- Before KTS was installed, were compatibility requirements checked?: Hardware and software requirements --- To assist us, assist you, please shutdown PC, (these steps will initiate a full shutdown), using the following steps: (1) Open Start menu > select Power button. (2) Press and hold the Shift key on keyboard, while clicking on Shut down, then release the Shift key. --- (3) When the PC is completely OFF, press the power key to start the device. (4) Login. (5) Start KTS, make sure KTS is running, active. (6) Enable traces (7) Replicate the Network SpeedChecker "Service is unavailable" issue. (8) ** Turn Traces OFF** (9) Save trace files to desktop, as .zip, upload, in your reply, using the "upload" icon, or upload to cloud & pm the link. (10) Detailed reports - select ALL EVENTS, 24hr period, export the report, save to desktop, as a text file, upload, in your reply, using the "upload" icon, or upload to cloud & pm the link. Thank you.

Thanks for your quick responses.

Hello Vitalik93, Welcome and thanks for posting. We also, haven't been able to replicate the (physical) up/down button - keyboard failure, when used in Firefox 68. browsers. Unless krembuk provides us with requested url/s, the only conclusion that can be drawn is, user error. No issues with KIS. Best regards

Just to be sure, can I launch tracing from custom tools and in the mean time take Procmon logs without change Self Defense on KSC policy? I had some issue after policy change so I'd avoid to change it.

Therefore is it possible to launch a ps1 file or the command must be directly write on the field? Thanks in advance

Hi, Is it possible to remotely execute powershell commands from KSC custom tools? I found this topic but it didn't help me: https://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&controller=topic&id=382442&tab=comments#comment-2751988 I need to launch some powershell commands, for example a software list like this: Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table –AutoSize > D:\swlist.txt Other example, pending updates. $update = new-object -com Microsoft.update.Session $searcher = $update.CreateUpdateSearcher() $pending = $searcher.Search("IsInstalled=0") foreach($entry in $pending.Updates) { Write-host "Title: " $entry.Title Write-host "Downloaded? " $entry.IsDownloaded Write-host "Description: " $entry.Description foreach($category in $entry.Categories) { Write-host "Category: " $category.Name } Write-host " " } Thank you
