I found myself without a working keyboard or mouse after installing Kaspersky Free. LUCKILY, the mouse worked when I unplugged it since it's wired and wireless. I scoured the internet for a solution to my problem and quickly learned that has been an issue with Kaspersky since as early as 2016!? I saw that while keyboard input seemed, blocked, I was still able to communicate between PC and keyboard adjusting volume and opening calculator, for example. Moving forward, I tried uninstalling the devices multiple times and reinstalling them (after system restart), I tried modifying the registry, I tried running several different scans... ZERO luck. Then I thought, "Maybe disable Kaspersky?" Still nothing. I uninstalled, restarted, nothing. Windows troubleshoot was unable to fix my "driver error". I caved and called Kaspersky - this seemed promising since the rep sounded friendly! Alas, they told me the problem was not due to Kaspersky (I KNOW it was since that was the only significant change I made to my system), they could not help me and that I might need to contact Microsoft (ROFL, no)... Solution: Hold the shift key and restart the PC. Select a restore point from before installing Kaspersky. Wait about 10 minutes (will vary by system). Thanks for nothing, rep! ZERO effort. I hope you are shown this and not reprimanded, but at least LEARN to apply yourself to help customers. Call Ref #: 14316475

Hi, I am facing the above detection on some torrent sites like 1337x(.)to and yts(.)mx My windows installation is 11 latest version and Kaspersky version is 21.21.7.384(a), I am seeing that many people with Kaspersky are seeing the above detection and it seems like some common banner advertisement that might be the cause. I had downloaded a file from the same website before the detection occurred, am I at any risk? ADWCleaner, Sophos Scan&Clean and Kaspersky Quick Scan came back as clean.

Hello, Additionally, you can change the language of the installed version to English within the application by pressing SHIFT + F12 on the keyboard, and if you want to return to the original installed language by pressing SHIFT + F5 on the keyboard. You have to do it every time Otherwise, you have to do what your colleague mentioned. Regards

Hi, last week my subscription to another internet security ended (not sure if it matters, it was GData). I decided to switch to Kaspersky. I installed Kaspersky Premium and only later removed the older IS, so that there would be no gap. When Kaspersky did a quick search, it found 2 suspicious files, one was a jpg file, which I didn't recognise and it was at a very strange location and another was called hosts.rollback (or something similar). Both files were infected and both files were also removed by Kaspersky. So I'm convinced Kaspersky is doing it's work. ButAfter that first installation and check, I started getting very frequent BSOD's, almost every 5-10 minutes. The message on the blue screen is: IRQL is not equal or less (or something like that, it disappears real quick). The message in event viewer is as follows: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0x0000000004e2b34c, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff805e8a9f600) I have googled the issues at best as I could, I did a few things, like system file checker etc. in windows, I also checked my memory, hard drive(s) en motherboard bios. Nothing seems to be helping. In the last year my pc crashed about 3 times, caused by faulty drivers by Nvidia. Which seems to be resolved after new drivers. And now I have a few houndreds of crashes in just 4-5 days. So I can get in touch with Kaspersky customer service, but they ask for a complete dump of the crash, to be able to do this, I have to follow 2 steps. I cannot finish the first step, because I get a warning from windows that I cannot change that value because of some group policies. Did anyone encounter an issue like this and how can I resolve this? <Edit: I have win11, 24H2, 26100-4351, quite well built gaming system with all elements just 1 year old, everything seems to be in perfect order. Like I said, I have Kaspersky Premium.

Done that. No new apps installed. The only app updated a few days ago is Logi Options+ for my keyboard. Everything worked fine 5 days ago

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro (version 22H2) Kaspersky Application: Kaspersky Plus Issue: Application blocked or disrupted due to false positive detection Hello, I’m experiencing issues using a legitimate application called KeyPress OSD. It’s an open-source tool that displays on-screen keyboard and mouse input, which is particularly useful for recording tutorial videos where viewers need to see which shortcuts I’m using. Unfortunately, Kaspersky Plus flags or blocks it, likely because it's built with AutoHotkey (AHK) — a scripting language that’s often wrongly identified as malicious. The tool is completely safe and widely used in educational contexts. 🔗 AutoHotkey forum thread about false positives: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=62266 Product Description: KeyPress OSD is an On-Screen Display for key and mouse inputs. It shows key presses in large text on-screen, ideal for accessibility, streaming, or tutorials. It uses AutoHotkey as its scripting engine, which sometimes triggers antivirus alerts. What I'm looking for: How can I configure Kaspersky Plus to allow this app to run normally? Is there a recommended way to exclude a trusted AutoHotkey-based app from scans or monitoring? Should I whitelist the .EXE file, the folder, or the AutoHotkey interpreter itself? If needed, I can attach screenshots showing the detection pop-up or logs. I’m happy to follow all safety best practices, but I also need to be able to use this tool for my work without constant interruptions. Thanks in advance for your support! Best regards, Rafael

I've been gathering a number of issues regarding visual bugs and abnormal symptoms regarding action malfunctions and etc. And I refuse to accept that I need to uninstall the antivirus every year when the company release a new version. Upon annual new version in 2025, KS 21.20 ( can't remember which version was ) got released on February 6th while from 2024 KS 21.19.7.527(b) had minor issues where scans were not partially registering or saving upon conclusion at report page and the workaround was to maintain report page open till the verification/scan was over. When Kaspersky Standard 21.21.7.384(a) came this issue remained but keeping report page open till verifications/scans were being done, upon finish they would still not register or save any data. Since then I've made new discoveries about and to make verifications/scans be saved and register ever since now I have to maintain report page minimzed and open and on 95% to 98% I've to refresh the page and expand the scan on progress and click on start time stamp so they can be saved and register. This issue affect full/quick and background scans. There have other bugs where tonight upon another automatic update from KS when I've attempted to run a quick prompt scan using mouse on a folder, the scan got stuck and was forever running at 100%. After that issue ran off I've spotted the interface showed duplicate selective scans instead of one. To fix this odd behavior, restarting the computer managed the solve the issue. One of the translated image I've manipulated is to guide there have been a minor to KS 21.21 that particular setting is so unwanted that made some serious crashes to the whole PC back on release and I was not aware untill I've turned off ''Suspension Windows mode''. I mean that uncalled function completely ignore the other function that come along on front when you run full scans. I also have noticed when searching for updates to Kaspersky Standard data base, the percentage rate on the interface goes slower than on the icon in the set ray.

Hi, After installing Kaspersky I used quick scan after it my pc went black for 2/3 mins. Idk exactly. After that my pc restarted, but my mouse cursor disappeared even tho my mouse is on and same with my keyboard they both have rgb so I know that they are on, but aren't working. I can press any button, but it's not going to work. My mouse is Model O and the keyboard is Genesis Thor 150 After I saw this problem I thought maybe taking mouse usb and keyboards wire and putting them in would work, but nothing. Now I don't know what to do because I can't do anything I have another office mouse with a wire I put it in and still nothing the cursor just won't appear. I downloaded the best version of Kaspersky free trial please help me

How hard is it to give us an option to disable that very annoying popup? Your users have been suffering for years and have been asking for a way to get rid of the secure keyboard input popup while still having the feature ENABLED and working in the background, but things are the same even with your latest editions (Kaspersky Plus). I think whoever thought it was a smart idea to remind the user about it every single time shouldn't have the power to manage and develop your software. Im a paying customer since 2006 and I had to turn off this feature and live without it whenever it came out (it's definitely been 5+ years). I just moved to a new computer and I've been configuring my settings and guess I will still need to disable it and live without that feature for many years to come...

Hi, out of nowhere Kaspersky started showing these Pop-ups at system startup (Windows 11), when I launch a Microsoft office program or from Adobe, I am not opening any website, just Outlook of Photoshop for example. I never seen those pop-ups from Kaspersky before, I havnet done any changes to the system or anything like that, I had Microsoft and Adobe products installed for years along with Kaspersky, so I wonder what is causing it, if its a Kaspersky update, or if I can turn it off or fix it somehow ?

Hello. How to stop Kaspersky from creating shortcuts on my Desktop, this happens after software or database updates. Antivirus is not something you explicitly launch everyday like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Google Chrome, etc. Antivirus should run in background so I don't need to keep Antivirus (Kaspersky) shortcut on my desktop, because I will not launch it manually everyday. Why does it keep creating shortcut on my Desktop? I don't like it's behavior it acts like its a Boss on my PC and I'm just a guest or employee. WTF? BTW deleting Kasperksy shortcuts from my desktop requires me to enter the Admin password. STOP doing this on my PC. It is MY PC not yours.

I am not able to use expedia with secure keyboard. I am not able to type in the destinations under flight section as the system forces me to use Kaspersky secured keyboard for some reason! and that keyboard just doesn't work! Has anyone else faced this problem? even after disabling it from kaspersky privacy settings and restarting the browser, I am still struggling with this problem. Any solutions?

i am unable to launch any game apps while the program is active. After disabling it, i can launch it again. i have tried messing with the firewall but that doesn't seem to be the issue. How can i launch games while the program remains active

I'm trying to install kaspersky stander plus, once downloaded the installer do nothing. I have tried: Run as administrator Clean temp files Installed framework 4.8 Windows updates are up to date I dont know what else to do. The installer does not run on windows 10. The wizard to instal the antivirus does not appear.

Wow, what this little exe put me through with Kaspersky. So I reinstalled Kaspersky premium, instantly it detects keyboard locker as malware again. Mind you I've been using it every day when gaming or cleaning touchpad and keyboard, with Avira I was testing. And a complete FULL scan with Kaspersky finds only one malware, this little 200kb exe. Once it's deleted, another full, hour long complete system scan is clean. So again, if it was malware, it would have been infecting system for those last two weeks I used it when Kaspersky wasn't installed. It would have done SOMETHING malicious to my system. But as long as that little exe is not on my system, a full 1 hour scan finds zero malware anywhere. THAT'S how I always knew it was safe, before I even finally managed to get real proof (below). Remember, this all started over 2 weeks back, so it's been a very ridiculous process. I have every right to legitimately complain, and I am going to write a letter to Kaspersky support about it and express my disappointment and wasting hours of my time over this. Allow me to explain why. I followed all the instructions here in this forum: I booted in safe mode and it easily allowed me to access the exe file. Oh by the way, before I go on, I thought you might be interested in virustotal results: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d4c104c17449e5eded7520d6c77f4dce1df933bd514ad65b515516aad3fc6829?nocache=1 Let that sink in. Do you know I have never seen any so called malware before, ever, where only one engine has detected it? If it's a false positive, it's always at least 2 or 3 or 4, but when even Mcafee and Norton say it's clean, you really know something is wrong LOL. So much for Kaspersky having the lowest false positives in recent av comparatives April test. And Avira having so much higher. LOL I ran Avira for 2 weeks straight, 24/7, and not a single false positive whatsoever. But I digress. I want people to understand what I went through to get this exe to submit it for reanalysis. OK So I booted in safe mode and copied it. As soon as I rebooted back into normal mode, I right clicked and disabled Kaspersky for 5 hours, of course I was going to manually re enable protection when I had submitted the file, but this is why something like Malwarebytes becomes so useful when you need to disable an AV. You see, disabling Kaspersky means your system is open to everything, as defender does not come back on, and not even if you right click the icon and exit Kaspersky (more on that later). I use Malwarebytes VPN and have a 2 year plus subscription for 5 devices because I use it on my mac and my iPhone, and I have it on the PC for second opinion scans like SO many others do., But because I am a paid user of it, when I need to disable an AV, with one click I can enable all real time protections of Malwarebytes so I am NOT NAKED to the internet, so to speak. Anyway, K was disabled, yet one minute into it, somehow it detected it and deleted it. Same as always, just two options, disinfect or disinfect without restart. It NEVER puts it into quarantine so I can restore it and add an exception, and if I reinstall it, Windows gives it a different install folder number which it does every time you uninstall and re install any windows store app. So this was impossible to make an exception for. It gets better. I had to go all the way and actually tell Kaspersky NOT to start with windows, and then I went back into safe mode, re copied the exe file to a place I had user access, re started and it was gone when the computer booted back into normal windows. So Kaspersky must have some kind of boot time protection. So I had no option but to uninstall Kaspersky, leave it uninstalled whilst I submitted the file to virus total and the false detection form and just re installed. Weeks of hell for one app. As to why I don't use the one other similar alternative app out there, it's incredibly slow, and has made an error before and locked my entire computer and I had to force shut down with power button. The windows store app is lightning fast and just works and always has. So that's why, before anyone asks. To me, Kaspersky behaved worse than any malware I have personally encountered. The real problem is the disinfection pop up that gave me no option to add it as an exception, no matter what I tried. It does make one think, and before anyone thinks I am whining, just remember I've spent about 10 hours of real time on this, submitting reports, testing other AVs, and so on. Kaspersky should not have behaved this way and given me an easy option to exclude it, like every other, I mean EVERY other AV I tested. How did I test the other AV's (I made a complete list of the ones I fully tested, about 17 of them, the ones that had 100% functional trials, but that's another storey for another time), well I used Eicar files. All of them bar Kaspersky allow simple restore from quarantine. ALL of them. Kaspersky just deletes. The thing is, if it's actually something like an info stealer or ransomware, of course I want kaspersky to delete it, but just for my own info, is there ANY setting, something in Kaspersky that could have saved me from this fresh hell with this innocent little file? TIA as always and sorry for my rant, now I can chill, K finally has the exe and I am sure before long I'll be able to use the app again. Cheers

windows 8.1 Kaspersy total security 21.3.10.391 (h) device used: Laptop. until a couple of weeks ago my virtual keyboard worked fine. now when I use it, it will not close down, it will only close when I shut down safe banking completely. I have tried using it in other browsers, firefox, chrome, brave, duckduckgo but that makes no difference. It is very annoying as it blocks the page I'm using when doing my banking.

My Windows version: WIndows10 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4651) Kaspersky PLUS 21.18.5.438 The problem: After the lastest Kaspersky PLUS's Application update, my On-screen Keyboard becomes bugged. You can see from the 2 screenshots, my mouse cursor was positioned at Number 0, but it counts as Number9. I have been using Kaspersky for many years, and I use On-screen Keyboard for many years, this bug never happened to me before.

@MousePadOff Read: Do not Disturb Mode: "If this check box is selected, Kaspersky application does not display notifications about events that occur during video calls, when watching videos, when working with applications, or using the keyboard. Do not Disturb Mode can also pause some automatically started tasks or delay running scheduled tasks to avoid excessive utilization of computer resources." Check Interface Settings, Configure Notifications -> Notify on screen. Navigate to File Explorer, click the "View" tab, and check or uncheck the box for "Show file name extensions". Check in Windows, Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, is there a LAC, Kaspersky VPN? IF 'yes' uninstall it then shutdown the computer using SHUTDOWN, not Restart, power ON by pressing the power-button, login, recheck the VPN alert? IF it OR any other issues persist & (you're) confident (you've) installed & configured the software correctly, log a request with Kaspersky Customer Service, https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts - select either Email or Chat, then fill in the template as shown; include a *detailed history*; Support may request logs, GSI, traces captured while the problem is replicated & other data; they will guide you. Is Kaspersky VPN in Windows notifications & actions - after - the uninstall? IF 'yes', turn notifications OFF in Windows. *BEFORE* contacting support - make sure Windows OS / build is up-to-date, with no Beta, Canary, Development & OR Insider Build installed & the Kaspersky Standard version is 21.21.7.384.0.23.0 -> https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads#update-product? *Also* -> IF using Chat - a copy of the chat transcript can be downloaded by selecting Download - otherwise (you'll) have no record of the chat* Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? Thank you🙏 Flood🐳+🐋

I never ignore anything, I was only replying to that other member with the pic and explaining why I couldn't access the folder in normal mode, which they were giving me as an alternative to safe mode (clearly, as they crossed the word safe mode out). I can not access networking in safe mode regardless, even if I enable safe mode with networking. It's been a problem for me since I have this laptop, and I have reinstalled a fresh OS multiple times and I can't get it to work. Maybe ethernet would work, but wi-fi does not, and there is no ethernet in this house, anywhere. Not a single port. Please don't accuse me of ignoring when I never ignored you, I just had to deal with the other issue first, then if I reinstalled Kaspersky, I was going to follow your every instruction. Right now Kaspersky is not installed, so I did not ignore a thing, and I feel offended about that, and rightly so. Now I will read the rest of your reply, thank you. Re the pic, I thought you were a mod. I apologise about that, as that was a mistake from my end. I no longer have the ability to edit any post though, which is confusing me no end. I can not find any other keyboard locker, not on the store in Australia. Could you kindly link to one? I put the search keyboard locker into Microsoft store and can not find one. Kaspersky free will have ads won't it? and spam? Is it missing anything for actual malware protection, like the roll back, extensive ransomware protection, etc, or is it just the firewall? does it still have mic and cam protection? That is essential to me, and Avira doesn't have it which is going to be a dealbreaker anyway, so that's out. I'd honestly rather just press "off" on kaspersky firewall and use glasswire, if that's the option. Not the end of the world. Glasswire still works and monitors all network activity, just you have to enable the firewall mode for block features. I am not that distubed by the idea of disabling Kaspersky just when I want to use Glasswire's features when gaming, and re enabling it when not. That's not a bad idea which just came to me. I was just concerned that the firewall might be integrated to other malware blocking components which is why I asked. I didn't even KNOW there was a kaspersky free till now, as I don't even see it on their homepage. My renewal is coming up and I am just trying to decide what to go with for the next 2 years, that's all. Re the app, it's a false positive, simple as that, and not up to me to fix it, I can't fix it, that's up to Kaspersky and support are aware of the issue. I have evidence it's a false positive. Kaspersky has listed it as a different malware each time it has blocked it, for one, and for two, as said, my system has used it every day for years, and if it had run any malware on my system, Kaspersky full scan would have detected other malware infestations on my system instead of detecting that one single file as the ONLY malware anywhere on my system. If that's not proof, I don't know what is. Not to mention NO other AV finds it to be malware. None on my system anyway, and I am up to 10 second opinion scanners now, every free non real time scanner I could find. Heck, EVEN Norton Power eraser says it's clean, and that's the KING of false positives. PS I AM going to contact the dev tonight and let them know of the issue with pics and a link to this topic.

Greetings. Yesterday just before going to sleep i was surprised with a strange Pop-up from Kaspersky, it said my antivirus wasn't activated and that my protection was disabled. It was odd since my signature will last until october. A quick look made me realize that after a update, the antivirus just expelled my activation key and downgraded back to Kaspersky Free. I entered my account and had to manually disconnect my computer so i could install once again in the same computer. I'm wondering if this will be a recurring problem, because most of the time I ignore all the annoying pop-ups of Kaspersky, but luckily this time i paid attention since the colors had change from the ones i used to see. PS: Second problem, if you have time: How do i get hid of all the annoying pop-ups that Kaspersky seems to be throwing at me? I know about the configurations inside the program, but i only have the system ones activated, all the others about promotions and news are disabled, but i still get a lot of irritating pop-ups every now and then, even when I'm in fullscreen. I remember Kaspersky being all quiet in the computer back in the day, but now it seems that more and more irrelevant pop-ups are appearing on the screen.

I installed Kaspersky Antivirus and my mouse and keyboard stopped working after restarting. I am trying to fix the problem using Kaspersky Rescue Disk 18 but it only shows a black screen after choosing “Graphic Mode” or “Limited Graphic Mode”. I have an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 graphics card. I tried to use this topic as a solution, however the link sent for KRD 2024 beta did not work. I can’t use my keyboard or mouse, I cannot run KRD since it gives me a black screen, and I can’t find recovery mode either. My PC is basically useless. Please help
