DumpoJerome Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Every time I start my computer up, I get a popup from Kaspersky about a self-signed certificate from Adobe AcroCEF. I have no idea what this means, but is there a secure way to fix this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlan4096 Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Can you click in "View Certificate" and in "Details" in Your previous capture and post a capture of the info about the certificate and Details? Are those Adobe products updated? Installed from a legit source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumpoJerome Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 I will post a capture once it pops up again. It was popping up every time I started my computer, but it hasn't popped up since Tuesday. I keep all of my Adobe products updated and installed straight from the Creative Cloud app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlan4096 Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 In the past, there was an issue related to wpad: But I'm not sure if it's the same case as Yours 🤔 probably not... If after follow the steps given in that link, still no success, You can try to go to Settings -> Security Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Exclusions and Actions on object detection -> Manager Exclusions, and there add the application: AcroCEF.exe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
