Procedure for Potentially Reconfiguring Linguistic Parameters within the Kaspersky Application Post-OS Transition: Initiate the Kaspersky Interface: Firstly, activate the Kaspersky utility, ensuring it is not impeded by any underlying processes from the prior OS version, now upgraded to Windows 11. Navigate Toward Configuration Modules: Identify and interact with the ⚙️ symbol, generally discernible in the application's inferior-left quadrant. This interface pathway should theoretically transport you to the settings repository. Seek Out Semi-Autonomous Locale Variables: Once within the labyrinthine settings structure, embark on a meticulous search for the subcategory ostensibly titled Interface or, potentially, Appearance, wherein cryptic references to language modulations (commonly known as "Sprache" in German parlance) might be obscured. It’s essential to scrutinize every potential cue indicative of linguistic preference settings. Modify the Linguistic Parameter: From within the probable dropdown schema, initiate the reassignment of the operative language to the desired Deutsch (or Italiano, contingent on previous user configuration). Bear in mind, the exact location of this menu may be obfuscated by other non-linguistic interface variables. Application Reboot Procedure: Upon successful reconfiguration of language parameters, allow the system to prompt a termination and subsequent reinitialization of the Kaspersky application. Failing this, manually initiate a cessation of all processes associated with the application and commence a fresh launch. Optional Reinstallation Protocol: Should the aforementioned methodology prove futile, consider a complete procedural removal of the Kaspersky software package. Subsequently, navigate to the official distribution portal, and during the reinstallation process, exercise extreme vigilance in selecting the appropriate linguistic module—Deutsch (or Italiano)—at the preliminary stages of the installation process. By adhering to these labyrinthine instructions, you may ultimately succeed in reverting the application’s operational language to the initially intended state. If issues persist, further deconstruction of the user environment may be necessary.

Hello @blueice It sounds like Kaspersky is flagging your licensed WPS installation as a potential threat, possibly due to a false positive. To resolve this, you can whitelist WPS Office in Kaspersky's settings to prevent it from being removed automatically. Here’s how to do it: Steps to Whitelist WPS Office in Kaspersky: Open Kaspersky: Launch your Kaspersky security software. Go to Settings: In the main interface, click the gear icon (usually in the bottom left) to open Settings. Access Threats and Exclusions: Under Settings, look for the Additional section, and select Threats and Exclusions. Manage Exclusions: Click Configure exclusions under the Exclusions section. Add WPS Office to Exclusions: Click Add to create a new exclusion. Select Browse to locate the installation folder of WPS Office (often found in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)). You can add the WPS folder, and make sure to check the option to exclude it from all protection components. Save the Exclusion: Confirm your changes by clicking Add and OK. Save and close the settings menu. Verify: After whitelisting, try reinstalling WPS Office and check if Kaspersky still removes it. If Kaspersky Still Removes WPS: Make sure your Kaspersky software is up-to-date, as outdated virus databases can result in more false positives. You can also contact Kaspersky support to report this issue, so they can review it and possibly remove the false flag in future updates. Let me know if this works or if you need more detailed instructions!

There seems to be some issues with Kaspersky Safe Kids 23.0.0.418 and Fortnite - Which both my kids play regularly. When launching the game it will hang and then leave me no choice but to restart the computer (can't even open task manager). Even when disabling Kaspersky Safe Kids this issue still persists. Only when I fully un-install the application does the game work again. I can replicate this by then installing Safe Kids again which will produce the crash on launch. I can only assume Safe Kids is trying to capture what is happening when the anti-cheat or the game itself is loading - I don't even have app monitoring on. I've dabbled with quite a few of the settings and still can't get it working. I would like the peace of mind knowing safe kids is installed but at the moment it's unusable due to this fact (I can't even pause it - The program has to be totally un-installed) - I have tried a full re-install which doesn't help - I even did a fresh install of Windows 11 trying to cure the issues until I pinpointed it to Safe Kids. Can you offer any advice? I'd be happy to grab logs if that's possible.

I created a pdf file days ago by combining multiple images and compressing it using adobe acrobat PC ver. It looked fine at the time. Now when I open it, it's a completely different file. It has the content of another pdf file on my pc but has the size of the original one, and yet worse, it has a creepy cyphered message? It freaked the sh*t out of me. I scanned the file using Kaspersky, but the results were negative: "no threats". I ran a quick scan, also turned out negative. I'm currently running the full scan. Could there be a virus on my PC that Kaspersky isn't able to detect? What do I do?

Apologize once again but this report should not be clarified as closed since this abnormal symptom with report window not registering rootkit or quick/complete scans still happening even with Kaspersky Standard 21.18.5.438(a). I can't record properly this bug because there are moments the scan will be registered and displayed and sometimes not. Ever since Kaspersky Standard 21.17.7.539 which I have firstly see happening on May untill September with actual version KS 21.18.5.438(a) this unknown behavior have been going and the company should be aware of it. Whenever I execute these scans if I don't keep report window opened, there is a chance the task is not being saved and registered with full detail on report window so with my last studies about this bug. Having opened and minimzed report window whenever scans are about to finish. The task will display as they are ongoing but at the end when is over. The scan is saved, being registered and display but if I close report window or click to update there is a %60 of chance that task will not be registered or displayed on report window. I'm annoyed to know that I have been facing this bug for a while and I would like revive the situation regarding this unknown bug which started at May 9th accordingly to my first post.

Well I'm going wait till the company update the version and solve as they should because It have been recently I've installed KS onto my PC and I really not in the mood to uninstall or repair while protection gets disabled meanwhile I try to fix this functionality. There alternative method which I never used before is 'Selective/Selected scan' and if I want to verify a single file. All that I need is to copy the destination path and add '\xxx' at the end of destination. So I'm hanging on using this method to run quick scans onto singular files and not a subfolder. I'm going keep waiting till company fix this.

Hello, Im having a problem with a website, where i get an rerror code when trying to go to check out. Here is the rerror code: HEUR:Trojan-PSW.Script.Generic. I also get this message: Prevented the download of a malicious file or other object designed to infect your computer with malware that will slow it down, destroy your system, or cause other problems. We protected you from downloading this object. You can safely close this window. The problem is that i have never had an issue with website before. here is link to the page https://www.hijabhus.com/quick-order. Could this maybe be a false flag?

It appears that all Kaspersky extensions ✅ can in fact be installed without searching for them through the Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension stores! I was only aware of this now and I will explain it below since it wasn't very clear even to me who I've been using Kaspersky products for many years. To install Kaspersky Protection extension: Open your Kaspersky for Windows app, search for "extension" in the search box, and there you will find all the extension-related info. I already had all the extensions installed, so I made a quick test by deleting KP extension for Firefox, but it was still stuck to "On" even when I restarted Kaspersky Plus & Firefox. However, once I restarted both apps I got a Windows pop up from Kaspersky Plus asking to install the extension for Firefox. If you weren't successful with installing the extension this way, just install it through the link here (link is alive when writing this post): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kaspersky-protection/ahkjpbeeocnddjkakilopmfdlnjdpcdm For more info: https://support.kaspersky.com/common/start/12782#block4 To install Kaspersky Password Manager extension: Open your KPM for Windows > Settings > Browsers, then just click on install from there. I tested it on Firefox by deleting my extension then re-installing it through here. It started downloading the extension by itself and I was able to install it like usual. Hopefully things will continue working nicely like this for all of us who are not living in USA! I can't verify if this will work for US-residents, so maybe someone try this and let us know? Thanks to everyone who tried to help. This thread is now solved.

I woke up Thursday morning to find UltraAV on my PC and didn't know what it was or where it came from. A quick search of the name and I was able to figure out what happened from all the irate people that were in my same situation. To say I am beyond disappointed in Kaspersky is an understatement. I swore by your product for almost a decade and was pretty pissed off when I found out about the US forcing you out of the market. That said, this little stunt with UAV destroyed any sympathy or good will I had for you guys. My PC crashed 8 times in two days and locked-up or failed to reboot countless times. Attempts to roll back to restore points failed, attempts to restore a backup image failed. I lost 1/2 a day from work screwing with the PC until finally I was able to boot it into safe mode and remove that abomination of an AV utility. I now get to lose my Saturday tomorrow doing the same on my kids and wife's PCs. I cannot stress in any more plain English than this move royally pissed me off. Please fire any bone-headed executives or managers s that approved or followed orders to execute such a stupid action without so much as a popup asking people if they were OK with installing a third party's utility.

Thanks for the quick explanation but i did same steps like you. Downloaded to my Windows computer (Windows 10 - i don't think it's relevant with 10 or 11) and not detected. And then i copied that from Downloads to Desktop and still not detected. Not deleted. I wish i would record a video about this but i only took screenshot. By the way console_zero.exe needs some libraries like in that error. Malware is downloading some libraries and executing itself. If you want re-procedure the attack simulation i can help you. Also we prepared a report an analysis report about this malware type. Anyway, let's wait the final verdict and see how it's going. But as i said before i copied the malware and it didn't detect. My KP version is 21.18.5.438(a)

This is more of a rant than a question. I manage Kaspersky since 2012 in my office. Everything was managed by KSC for windows for years and worked fine. Last year, September 2023 I was glad to see the availability of KSC 14.2 for Linux so i decided to make this step and migrate everything on Linux, saving a windows license. Transition was easy and I spent the first week trying to learn how to use the atrocious web console. I was extremely happy when a user on this forum suggest me how to connect windows MMC to Linux KSC and this was my setup for 11 months. Last month, august 2024 I start receiving messages on web console (yeah, sometimes I used it) saying certificate was about to expire. I've searched online for solution and found that was necessary to re-launch the exe on windows, zero Linux instruction on how to solve this. In my mind equation was easy: I will update Linux KSC 14.2 to 15.1 (which was released many months before and I considered mature enough) and the new version will fix the certificate problem. So I did it, update was fast and smooth but here comes the problems. 1- web console was a DISASTER, way worse than the already terrible 14.2, I had errors every page or device I open, console keeps hanging or closing. After hours of reboot and a couple of database fixup and maintenance task it was much better (still far from "OK"). Why the upgrade procedure didn't execute a database fix up by itself as part of the upgrade saving hours of problems?? 2- certificate problem WASN'T fixed. I had the banner at the top of page for some days but I had no time to dive into it, now I can't login anymore and I have no idea how to solve this (check attachment). Easy: I can read the guide, I remember the Kaspersky support page usually are complete and helpful... Bullshit. There are zero support page for linux KSC 15.1 and almost zero linux KSC support page in general, just a few on how to update, how to install. OK and how to solve problem X and Y..? Kaspersky had 12 months to update the articles. This simply means they don't care about their customer. 3- Linux KSC is still missing a ton of functionality compared to windows, many limitations. And now I discovered that windows console MMC, one year after release is still not available and who knows if it ever will be, in future. Source Now: I can't login from browser and there are zero articles online on how to solve this (any help here on forum is appreciated), I can't login from MMC because it simply doesn't work anymore on version 15.1. Antivirus in my office are totally out of control, I can't do anything at the moment. This is a shame and I'm extremely upset.

The answer posted by Ramjam still holds good. I am able to close the keyboard two key lengths to the right of x. Looks like Kaspersky team has been sleeping on this for the last 2 years. Sad state of affairs for a world renowned software

I don't get any alerts. When I type in my user name & password, the site tries to tell me that my user or p/w is incorrect, which it is NOT. When this happens, I have to pause protection, but that doesn't necessarily rectify the issue. As explained, I have to go through the pains of changing a p/w...but then making sure I use the virtual keyboard. If I've paused protection, then why would the virtual keyboard be working? Frankly this is becoming a royal pain in the neck! One site is protected in "safe money"., but again, if I pause protection...I can't access that site without going through the dreaded steps I've just described. In my second site, I can reach the site...when I attempt to sign in with my username & p/w...I get nothing...so again, I have to pause protection. Ridiculous! alectrautilities.com Ig.ca Sorry I forgot to mention the browsers you made reference to. Yes, it pertains to both Chrome AND Edge.

Thank you for the quick reply. I work with customers. This is a bad handoff 100% that KAV doesn't know what to do. As the software is continuing to re-install on its own, despite deleting the files out of the UAV folder and Uninstall, how is it installing over and over? Are they coming through my connect with KAV in a sense? This is extremely suspicious, and not secure. Check here for others with the same issue https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/

Hello @viper69, Welcome! Unfortunately we don't have any guidelines for UltraAV, nor the total force silent migration, but, having a quick look at the UltraAV website they have: How to uninstall Ultra Antivirus on Windows 11 -> we have *no idea* if that will remove the software permanently - all we can suggest is to please follow it & if there's any issues please log a request with Kaspersky Customer Service - https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts , they have access to (your) subscription & private information, for privacy reasons, the Kaspersky Community doesn't -> on the support page, select either Email or Chat, then fill in the template as shown - *select (your) Kaspersky software (1) from the drop-down list*; (there's no templates available to address UltraAV issues); please include a *detailed history*: *Also - IF requesting Chat request the operator email (you) a copy of the chat transcript *before* ending the chat - otherwise (you'll) have no record of the chat* *IF they tell (you) to contact UltraAV, please do that as well, again, unfortunately we don't have any guidelines for their support system but the support link is: https://support.ultrasecureav.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? Thank you🙏 Flood🐳+🐋

I just had an informative chat - transcript below: Just read the hard-to-find support article that US govt. is basically shutting down use of Kaspersky. Basic question - what good is kaspersky in the current moment, especially when certificates can't be checked in safe money? You 19.09.2024 7:25 The Kaspersky product on your computer can still provide some protection on your device through heuristic analysis. Operator 19.09.2024 7:26 what is UltraAV? You 19.09.2024 7:26 UltraAV is a security product of Pango, another security company which we partnered with to ensure that our customer will continue having protection on their devices and will get the services that they paid despite the situation that we are in right now. Operator 19.09.2024 7:28 link to download? You 19.09.2024 7:28 You do not need to download them as the Kaspersky Windows apps will be silently migrated to UltraAV apps without opt-ins/opt-outs, - Kaspersky will silently uninstall itself and install Ultra instead. Exception: Kaspersky 2018 and older cannot be silently updated, instead users will be requested to manually remove Kaspersky and install Ultra AV. Operator 19.09.2024 7:29 Phaseout functions were Sept 10-29. Will UltraAV be silently installed by end of September? You 19.09.2024 7:31 Yes. The timeline started from the 17th of September and targeted to be completed by the 29th. Operator 19.09.2024 7:31 OK lastly please - is there any point in running Safe Money or Launch Financial Web SIte in Protected Browser ... vs. running in a standard browser (non-safe money) window? You 19.09.2024 7:32 Long answer: We apologize to inform you that due to the recent ruling of the US. Dept. of Commerce restricting our products in the USA, Kaspersky updates to U.S. IP addresses will not be available and certain other limitations apply. Limitations will be implemented gradually, starting from September 10 through to September 29. Safe Money feature will stop receiving updates. This may lead to the following errors when entering the Protected Browser mode, even for trusted websites: • “Certificate verification problem” error with an option to continue browsing • “There is a problem checking the certificate for HTTPS connections” • Amber frame will appear around the browser window while using trusted banking websites through Safe Money You can still access your trusted site by clicking I understand the risks and want to continue. Or they can also access the same site outside the Safe Money Protected Browser. All official information regarding solution functionality, subscriptions, and other matters can be found here: https://support.kaspersky.com/us/faq/2024-us-sales-statement Operator 19.09.2024 7:32 Short answer: It is better not to us Safe Money at the moment. Operator 19.09.2024 7:33

Thanks again and here are the screen shots from my kid's PC with his login I have also noticed a glitch of the safe kids, my kid play the minecraft game and what he get away from safe kids is: 1, launch the feather or any other launcher - this cannot 100% stopped because safe kids applies minute allowed time or even I set it as forbidden 2, within 1 minutes, login the game and play 3, after 1 minute limit, the launcher will be stopped but game goes on

Hello @Mexican Rose, Welcome back! We agree, using the virtual keyboard *all* the time would drive us batty. Please share the actual error details, what exactly happens when (you're) blocked? Does the issue(s) happen in every browser: Chrome, Edge, FireFox? So we don't waste (your) time asking (you) to do stuff Kaspersky already asked (you) to do, share with us what they asked of (you) please? Are there errors in Kaspersky Reports OR do alerts show in the Kaspersky Plus main window OR in the Windows Notification centre? Please post back? Thank you🙏 Flood🐳+🐋

I too am being blocked from accessing certain sites that are very important to me. I've tried "pausing protection" but that doesn't resolve the issue. I have to keep changing passwords in order to get access, but the trick to that also is that to actually gain access, I must use the virtual keyboard which I feel is ridiculous. I have reported these difficulties to Kaspersky but unfortunately for me what they ask me to do with beyond my realm. It's far too technical for me!. I'm using Kaspersky Plus. I must say in all honesty that if these issues persist, I shall go to another provider for my laptop's protection. I have removed the program, then reinstalled however; the issue still exists. I would appreciate assistance & thank you in advance.

Hi Flood and Flood's wife, Thanks again and here is my comments with more details 🙂 1, Apologies, is Safari browser being used by *default*, IF no, it should be! (not Safe browser, we were working on a Safe browser issue at the same time as working on (your) issue, we're so sorry!). --- my kid does not use Sarari, he uses Chrome, OperGX etc. 2, We understand the reports may not be accurately reflecting time used but *to set your expectations - we are not at the end - yet* - It is not just not accurate, it is not working at all. I have tried to deleted the old profile, created a new "Kid" and set up from step one and as of today, the result remains the same, on the ThinkBook15 (windows 11 Pro) there is no record at all, but my kid told me he used the ThinkBook15 for over an hour for homework. This windows PC is actually my main concern as Safe Kids is all I have, unlike the IOS, I have screen time as back up. The main reason to purchase safe kids is mainly for Windows based system, and it gets really frustrating now 😞 3, *Please answer from (our) previous post* - how is Settings -> in APPLICATION MONITORING configured - Allowed, Forbidden or Restricted? They are set up differently per category, a quick screenshot is below 4,For *iOS*, when the install was done & *Screen Time* was configured, was the instruction at the very bottom of the page followed: How to set up Kaspersky Safe Kids using the Screen Time API after updating to version 1.87.0.XXX ? IF *no* - it must be done! Thanks, I will go through these instructions, but for all IOS systems, I have no problems I will uninstall the safe kids on the ThinkBook and re-install again, see how it goes.

Hi Flood and Flood's wife, Thank you so much for your reply, it explains very clearly. I think there is something wrong with my "safe Kids" Before I post the reply this morning, I did a manual updates via CMC command - sucessful I did a quick test with my child's account for few minutes, it seems correct. However, when I came back this evening and re-check something is wrong. Firstly, I connected my child's iPhone to safe kids - installed the app - signed in and chose "this device is used by children" now there is apparently an error for the usage time "19 Hours and 40 Min" that is impossible but I will come back to re-check, it could because the iPhone was just added in For the Thinkbook usage (4min) that is inaccurate as well because I know my child did his homework project for at least 30 minutes between 4pm - 5:30pm and that is not recorded. For the internet -> Frequently visited websites, I am pretty sure there should be more than 2 records and one of them is visited by myself in the morning testing

same issue here, the reporting seems broken and very hard for parents to understand and use, I just manually updated safekids via CMD command 4th/Sep morning ( no idea why it cannot be done automatically) I have also did a quick test - using the kid's pc with kid's login (windows 11 laptop x64) and then the Internet report reports still stuck on 24/aug./2024 and there is no useful information at all, as I am sure kids visited much more websites than the report for his school report. When going to "Device use" - Reports page, the 3 min testing usage is there but no details of what webpages were visited

Hello @openurwindow, Welcome! Quick Startup has a *limited* list of applications because it's *only* those apps that are starting at boot time -> Kaspersky has designed the Quick Startup tool to enable users to disable any apps in the list that are not essential & or not run daily, that's why it says: Speed up computer at start-up -> please read: Quick Startup. In (your) computer - is there an application that's starting at start-up, that's not listed ? IF 'yes', please provide more details, name of the app, version? Which Kaspersky software version? On Windows taskbar *hidden icons*, rightclick the Kaspersky icon, select About? Which Windows 10 & Build, in Windows Search, type WINVER, select the app & post back the winver information please? The change that (you're) proposing would need to be submitted via a Feedback, I have a suggestion OR I have a complaint *but* first, let's try to understand a little more about the issue by providing more information please? Please post back? Thank you🙏 Flood🐳+🐋

Hello. I’m wondering if it’s possible to prevent an application from starting with Windows by double-clicking on it in the Kaspersky > Performance > Current Activity > Startup tab and then adjusting the application rules. The default options provided under Performance > Quick Startup have a limited list of applications to control, so I’m curious if it’s possible to manage applications through the Startup tab.

Hi. I always get this warning when I'm at a coffee shop or elsewhere when I launch the app before connecting to a Wifi. After I connect, the warning persists a bit longer before the slider becomes interactable again so I can activate the VPN. So, the problem is VPN is off during this time. Does this compromise my privacy? I used a browser-based VPN before and didn't encounter this. If this is indeed something that should be implemented, maybe the team can work on this?
