Is Kaspersky on Mac still incompatible with Little Snitch?

[Bav]

Hi, since I now have a 10 seat Kaspersky Premium license, I wanted to install it on the Mac. BUT, I use Little Snitch, and although kaspersky mac doesn't have the firewall, it has a network component that was incompatible with little Snitch many, many years ago.

I use Little Snitch religiously as it's the easiest app on Mac, period, to get internet connection outbound access alerts.

And the beauty is that it has a perfect set of default rules to allow the OS and safari to function, so you really only get alerts as you install new apps (or if you genuinely have some spyware or malware or something).

It's not the end of the world, I will keep using Malwarebytes on my Mac if Kaspersky still doesn't want to co exist with Snitch. However, I thought it would be nice to have kasapersky, as unlike MWB, it deals with windows malware on the mac also so you don't accidentally spread it to others, as well as real time scanning whereas MWB only deals with Mac malware and ONLY if it tries to execute.

Unlike Windows, there is no quick simple system restore on Mac, and Time Machine takes ages for something like this.

So would be great to know up front if anyone knows!

 

TIA!

well I guess I will install it if no one knows.

Can someone guide me to completely, 100% uninstalling Kaspersky on Mac OS Sonoma (I won't upgrade to Sequoia as I have some incompatible music hardware and this is a music studio computer)?

I just want to be able to know up front that I can completely remove it like it was never there, if it doesn't work with Little Snitch, as this is the only thing troubling me and why I haven't tried it myself already. It will also be the first time in many years that I'd be using a full security solution on Mac. In the past I always just used MWB and Little Snitch, for the last 5 years or so.

If there's an easy way to uninstall it and all traces of it, then I am happy to just install it myself and see if it works with LS.

If Time Machine is the only option, then so be it.
