Hello @always_working, Welcome! Personally, we do not rely exclusively on any software; best practice is to employ as many tools as possible to stay safe on the internet. Even Kaspersky recommends a multiple pronged approach, read the following Kaspersky articles: Thank you for the warm welcome and highly informative response!I read all the articles but am hoping you might enlighten me further.What I really want to know is, assuming I delete all cookies and clear the cache weekly, is there a way via a browser extension, browser settings, or software to help ensure that scammers can’t glean my passwords via cookies or otherwise steal them?Does Kaspersky protect against this?Or is this only / most ironclad way to delete them every after browser session?Trying to strike the right balance here and stay protected without having to delete cookies after every session (if possible).Thanks again for any insight!

Does Kaspersky Security Cloud still destroy and detect keyloggers if the on-screen keyboard and secure keyboard input aren’t used?Can you kindly reply to my questions above about cookies as well?I sincerely appreciate your time and knowledge!
