ImgSync Attempts to Install at Certain Yahoo! Pages ... [Closed]

[jc-moxy]

Hi. On visiting certain Yahoo! pages, I'm notified that ImgSync wants to download and install on my PC ... Smells like malware ... Is it? Either way, I don't want it installed on my PC. How do I permanently block it? (Using KIS 2019)

Hello Jc-moxy, Welcome!

1. Are KIS extensions installed in the browsers you use?
2. What browsers do you use?
3. Are you only looking for a KIS solution or?

1. *There's quite a lot of recent info re the issue you've raised and how to manage it*

Please also let us know:

1. KIS version?
2. Any other Kaspersky software: names & versions: installed?
3. Operating system, name, version & build?
4. Browser/s: name/s, version/s?

Thanks!

Hi FLOOD ... When this happens I am on MS Edge (42.17134.1.0). I'm using KIS 2019 (19.00.1088(f)) on MS Windows 10. Yes, I was looking for a KIS solution. Until about a year ago I used Malwarebytes together w/ KIS; but after MANY years it started to feel like overkill given Malwarebytes' move into anti-virus. From what I see via a google search, it looks as if MS Edge doesn't play with KIS extensions, which is pbbly why I'm seeing the ImgSync installation option ... And it would seem that answers my question :D Thanks for the assist!

Hello Jc-moxy, "MS Edge doesn't play with KIS extensions" - correct! It doesn't hurt to have a number of "tools" in the kit, KIS primary, running at startup, continously and automatically and "others" on demand? & you're most welcome! Best regards!
