False positive detection for Automation test tool - Playwright

[Fawaz Ahmed]

Hi,

Kaspersky detects https:// playwright . dev/ (i.e headless chromium etc) as virus.

After this, It also blocked internet in my regular browsers (chrome, firefox etc).

I had to uninstall(no settings saved) and reboot and clean install the antivirus again to fix internet issue in my regular browser

Hello @Fawaz Ahmed, 

Welcome!

1. In Kaspersky Free Reports, find the playwright block events, SAVE the report as a text file, upload the file to any cloud service of your choice, post the share link please? 

Thank you?

Hi @Flood and Flood's wife, you might have misunderstood me.  The false positive issue is not in playwright.dev website link, but rather in the playwright library which needs to be installed and executed in the computer to trigger false positive issue. The false positive issue only happens when there is heavy usage by the headless browsers

As I have clean installed the anti virus, there are no reports available. 

I will share the reports whenever the problem happens again. 

 

Thanks

Hello @Fawaz Ahmed, 

You're most welcome!

Thank you for posting back & the clarification!

IF the issue returns/persists follow:

• Kaspersky application blocks my website or application. What should I do? - if you share files with the Kaspersky support/Virus Lab experts, zip the files, password protect the files with password: malware or infected & tell the support team the password. 
• False detections by Kaspersky products. What to do?

Thank you?

Hi, I faced the same issue today. This time it happened with Github Desktop Software (connection reset error).  There was no Github Desktop block event in reports. Anyways I clean reinstall the antivirus again to fix the issue
