Saboteur inflicted ordeal with impunity

[Leo24]

Kaspersky's history and dedication to customers!

"Kaspersky began with a simple mission to protect people and businesses from cyberthreats and build a safer world. Our founder, Eugene Kaspersky, believes 'everyone has the right to be free of cybersecurity fears'! And it is this belief that underpins our efforts as a company. Kaspersky products are always at the forefront of technology, delivering state-of-the-art protection for our users".

"Kaspersky's customer service is also highly regarded. We offer the option of 24/7 remote IT support with our consumer products, which can include services like remote installation, virus check and removal, and PC health checks. Having this priority access to support, gives our customers greater peace of mind, because they know we're always there to help".

• So how on earth sadistic saboteur inflicted ordeal with impunity since Oct 2024, to the detriment of my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro) reliability, besides the torment inflicted on me. Whilst the incessant internet interruptions cropped-up at will of the imbedded saboteur, virtually breathing down-my-neck.

Compounded by the relentless email log-in impediments via sadistic verifications ploy. Compelling repeatedly to identify a lot of vague features within the obscure images charade. Conditional to access email accounts, under Kaspersky's protection! Outrageously exploited as a double-edged sword, whatever it takes to torment the targeted user.

Once the technical assistance was sought by me, I became flabbergasted by the perfidious modus-operandi of the cunning customer service representatives! Deceitful to the detriment of the railroaded Kasperski's adherents, such as myself. Have a go to find out all-about-it, due to the encountered tribulations by me. Transcribed below for your perusal:

Malicious internet dropouts!

Targeted internet dropouts since Oct 2024 compelled me to seek your assistance, as the moderator's technique by Wesly Zhang proved to be fruitless. Please refer to ... https://forum.kaspersky.com/topic/kernel32dll-51818/?page=2

Per example, event depicted on the system log:

Warning 08-Nov-24 15:26:24 Event 27, e1dexpress
Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I218-LM
Network link is disconnected.

Thanks in advance!

Dear customer,

Dear Leo24,

Thank you for getting back to us. We believe this could be a network degradation issue, not anything caused by anything malicious. 1. If you have run a full scan and had Kaspersky installed on the device since Oct 2024, it is doubtful that this is caused by anything malicious. 2. Internet dropping out can be caused by other factors, such as Wi-Fi Signal Issues, Router and Modem Problems, Internet Service Provider (ISP) Issues & also Device-Specific Problems. Do you experience the same behaviour on other Wi-Fi connections? Have you contacted your Internet Service Provider (ISP) since this issue began? Is this issue specific to your device, or does it happen on other devices too?

Please keep us posted.

• Actually, my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro) has been solely affected by the malicious internet interruptions (unlike my friend's eMachines E727 [Win 7 Home Premium], which never endured internet interruption). A momentary internet interruptions initially occurred as I was about to determine data usage by clicking on the "Wireless Network Connection Status" of my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro). Though before I could ascertain the amount of the evolved (in/out) figures, they reverted to zero. Due to the untouchable saboteur internet interruption.

Subsequently, 10 minutes approx after the start of my internet sessions interruptions occurred for some time, then persisted variously. Hiatus emerged toward the end of 2024, followed by the exacerbated internet interruptions since the beginning of this year (2025). In a row of 3, 4, 5, during sporadic internet sessions.

Thus in addition to the relentless Yahoo email log-in impediments via sadistic verifications ploy, the accompanied internet interruptions compounded torment moreover. Whereas to alleviate the frustration in these circumstances, a timely popup on the screen to alert the impacted. Any tips regarding?

• Attention is drawn to the above depicted deception! Manifested within the upper half of my Latitude E5540 screen. Emanated apparently, during futile log-in attempts into my hotmail account via Google Chrome on 22-05-25, during 14:40 - 16:34 period. MS Edge and Mozilla Firefox were not affected by the sadistic sabotage. A couple of days later I could log-in again into my hotmail accounts via Google Chrome.

Saboteur inflicted ordeal with impunity

Hi, I've been Kaspersky's adherent since Nov 2019. Initially as a free antivirus user - to the
advantage of my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro). Only occasionally accessing internet, nevertheless having subscribed to Kaspersky's Standard plan, since Oct 2024. Totally relying on the safety, reliability and integrity of Kaspersky's operations and products. Naturally, as a company that protects over a billion devices worldwide, it's important to address customers' concerns head-on!

To start with the solution sought for the kernel32.dll dilemma, which faded away. Whilst the malicious internet interruptions persisted all along, since Oct 2024. Reluctantly, I've followed one of your moderators, Wesly Zhang recommendations, to no avail. Whilst the deliberate internet interruptions cropped up at will of the imbedded saboteur, virtually breathing down my neck.

A brief hiatus in internet interruptions toward the end of 2024, gave way to the repetitive  internet interruptions a few minutes apart, since the beginning of 2025 (during occasional internet sessions). Just as relentless Yahoo email log-in impediments were ratchet-up via sadistic verifications charade. Synchronised in a unison with the accompanied internet interruptions.

Culminating in a futile log-in exertion on 22-05-25, due to the abrogated access to the hotmail accounts this time around. Whilst the bogus "Microsoft Homepage" announced:
"Thank you for your patience. We are currently experiencing high demand. Please wait and try again later".

In reflection on the boredom afflicted, the highly paid IT staff, indulging apparently in the sadistic extravaganza. When I anticipated factual, decisive results! Courtesy of the technical assistance by Kaspersky Lab Support. Please proceed to examine modus operandi of the customer service!

Still, internet interruptions persisted on the following day at 11:54, 11:58, 11:59, 12:00, 12:01, 12:02, 12:04. During internet session between 11:32 - 13:11 on 28-05-25.

Then finally halleluiah, no log-in disruptions on 29-05-25, 30-05-25, 31-05-25 - followed by the peaceful internet sessions. Hopefully, as a precursor to the secure internet surfing, once my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro), being thoroughly sanitised.

• Saboteur interrupted internet, exacerbated on 03-06-25 in the evening, during 19:24 - 21:18 period. MS Edge alerts didn't popup any longer, sabotaged likely. So precise timings of the momentarily tripped internet, couldn't be ascertained. Meanwhile, Google Chrome became inaccessible! Solely a message at the upper left corner of the blank page claimed:

"Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot". Thus compelling to identify some features on several images within the verifications charade. Declined by me, as no impediments faced at the other browsers.

At the end of my internet session, just as I was about to determine data usage by clicking on the "Wireless Network Connection Status" of my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro), I couldn't ascertain the amount of the evolved (in/out) figures, as they reverted to zero. Due to the sadistic saboteur internet interruption at 21:18 on 03-06-25. Worse faired internet session on 05-06-25, during 11:31 - 16:36 period.

So we're back to square one, all over again!

Clearly, I was taken for a ride on the wild goose chase! No serious attempt was made to resolve the issue. Care to explain, how could a saboteur inflict the ordeal with impunity since Oct 2024? To the detriment of my Latitude E5540 (Win 7 Pro) reliability, besides the torment endured by me.

Whilst the targeted internet interruptions cropped-up at will of the imbedded saboteur, virtually breathing down-my-neck. Warranting resolute action to be taken! Mind you, it's a litmus test. Kaspersky's brand is at stake! In reflection on the questionable modus operandi by the IT support.

Is it: 1) PC slow performance? 2) Internet speed slower with Kaspersky? 3) Internet speed OK but sometimes internet drops for a while? In this case, how often? For how long? Does the issue related to Kaspersky? 4) Do you suspect your PC is infected? 5) In the provided traces, it shows 40+ minutes of you surfing the internet. What is system time on video when the issue appears? We look forward to hear from you.

1) "PC slow performance"? • Facts speak for themselves as my Latitude E5540 (Intel Core i5-4310U at 2.60 gHz) uploaded 1.2 GB ProductTraces folder to the KL box in 10 minutes. Flawless transfer ended at 13:40 on 13-06-25. Within the internet session, which started before noon and finished at 14:22 (unmonitored on the day).

2) "Internet speed slower with Kaspersky"? • Likely, please provide info - how to uncouple and verify. Currently signal quality: 5 bars. Speed: 72.2 Mbps. As per (Win 7 Pro) wireless network connection status display.

3) "Internet speed OK but sometimes internet drops for a while? In this case, how often? For how long? Does the issue related to Kaspersky"? • Actually, it's impossible to become aware of, without the dedicated device! Due to the momentarily triggered internet interruptions. Mostly occurring within the fraction of a second. Audible alert would help. Any tips?

4) "Do you suspect your PC is infected"? • Well, according to Ali's advice given on Fri, 9 May 2025: "If you have run a full scan and had Kaspersky installed on the device since Oct 2024, it is doubtful that this is caused by anything malicious".

5) "In the provided traces, it shows 40+ minutes of you surfing the internet.

Depicted within the 1.2 GB ProductTraces folder. Reprehensibly, the four hours internet session was interrupted eleven times, at: 9:38, 9:41, 10:01, 10:04, 10:05, 10:07, 10:28, 10:29, 10:39, 11:24, 13:26.

"We look forward to hear from you"!

• Likewise, I am eager to hear from you! All about the facts derived from your lengthy investigation into reprehensible deeds - carried out to the detriment of my lappy's reliability - besides the torment inflicted on me. Whilst the malicious internet interruptions cropped-up at will of the imbedded saboteur, virtually breathing down-my-neck. Symbolising a significant indicator that my lappy's reliability was compromised.

Attention customer service representatives! Due to the latest inexplicable demands emailed on 25-06-25, vital to recap the chain of events:

Fawwaz announced on 14-05-25: "In order to keep track of the changes performed on your system, we ask you to provide us a new Getsysteminfo report, using the same instructions we sent you previously".

Leo replied on 19-05-25: Having created  ... GSI6_USERPC_Owner_05_16_2025_18_21_00.zip ... as instructed, I am seeking advice about the prescribed mode of transfer.

Rinitha instructed on 20-05-25: You can ... upload it to our secure internal storage using the following link: https://box.kaspersky.com/u/d/52ce937b4dec475ab82c

Leo replied on 21-05-25: Hi Rinitha, please proceed to examine ... GSI6_USERPC_Owner_05_21_2025_10_05_56.zip ... uploaded as recommended at ... https://box.kaspersky.com/u/d/52ce937b4dec475ab82c

Leo notified on 21-05-25: Unfortunately, network connection status indicator at the notifications bar at the bottom, isn't supplemented by the "internet down" popup on the screen! So in addition to the ruthless email log-in impediment via treacherous verifications ploy, the accompanied internet interruptions compounded torment moreover. With the case in point, the interruptions manifested at least four times on 19-05-25 between 16:18 - 17:48.

Ray declared on 22-05-25 at 11:50: "The system information report shows there are no malicious items".

Leo appealed on 27-05-25 to Data Protection Officer, concerning: Saboteur inflicted ordeal with impunity.

Leo appealed on 31-05-25 to the customer service representatives: Chor, Ali, Fawwaz, Rinitha, Ray ... email log-in impediments were ratchet-up via sadistic verifications charade. Synchronised in unison with the accompanying internet interruptions. Culminating in a futile log-in exertion on 22-05-25, due to the abrogated access to the hotmail accounts this time around.

Whilst the bogus "Microsoft Homepage" announced: "We are currently experiencing high demand. Please wait and try again later". Amazingly, Ray's avowal earlier in the day insisted: "The system information report shows there are no malicious items"!

Compelling complaint escalation to the attention Data Protection Officer on 27-05-25. Still, internet interruptions persisted on the following day, at: 11:54, 11:58, 11:59, 12:00, 12:01, 12:02, 12:04. During internet session on 28-05-25, between 11:32 - 13:11.

Leo notified on 06-06-25: Saboteur interrupted internet, exacerbated on 03-06-25 in the evening, during 19:24 - 21:18. MS Edge alerts didn't popup any longer, sabotaged likely. So precise timings of the momentarily tripped internet, couldn't be ascertained. Meanwhile, Google Chrome became inaccessible. Though, no impediment faced at the other browsers.

At the end of internet session, just as I was about to determine the data usage by clicking on the "Wireless Network Connection Status" of my lappy, I couldn't ascertain the amount, as it reverted to zero. Due to the sadistic saboteur internet interruption on 03-06-25 at 21:18. Worse faired my internet session next day, during 11:31 - 16:36 on 05-06-25.

Darwin announced on 07-06-25 at 13:39: "Before we can propose solution or a workaround to the issue you are experiencing, we would need your assistance to share some additional data for further analysis".

Leo replied on 11-06-25: Having created  ... SupportTraces-Kaspersky Standard-21.21.7.384-2025-6-11-12-24-11.zip ... as instructed. Upload failed at the KL box ... Hence I am seeking advice regarding prescribed mode of transfer.

Fawwaz instructed on 12-06-25 at 11:45: "You can try to upload them to any freeware file-hosting (DropBox / Filedropper / Google Drive for example) service and send us the download link".

Leo replied on 12-06-25 at 14:32: Wait a minute, wouldn't it be a rather reckless to recommend for the customer to share such a private info with the third parties willy-nilly? I don't think so. Therefore, there seems to be no other safe mode of transfer, than to upload it to the Kaspersky's secure internal storage.

Tines persevered on 13-06-25 at 03:03: "We shall check on the Kaspersky storage issue but we would need a screenshot of the error so we can check further" (in reality, the encrypted ProductTraces folder, required professional tweak, before the upload its 2.1 GB copy).

Consequently, Leo confirmed on 13-06-25 at 14:17: Please be informed that the requested ProductTraces folder was uploaded flawlessly on 13-06-25 at 13:40 to the KLBox ... https://box.kaspersky.com/u/d/52ce937b4dec475ab82c ... with the professional assistance!

Ali replied on 13-06-25 at 21:49: Thank you for providing the requested information. We've forwarded your inquiry to our experts and will contact you as soon as they respond.

Isha persevered on 17-06-25: "Our experts have just replied to us and they're asking if you could help us in getting some additional information".

Consequently, Leo replied on 21-06-25 to all the raised questions:

1) "PC slow performance"? • Facts speak for themselves as my Latitude E5540 (Intel Core i5-4310U at 2.60 gHz) uploaded 1.2 GB ProductTraces folder to the KL box in 10 minutes. Flawless transfer ended on 13-06-25 at 13:40. Within the internet session, which started before noon and finished at 14:22 (unmonitored on the day).

2) "Internet speed slower with Kaspersky"? • Likely, please provide info - how to uncouple and verify. Currently signal quality: 5 bars. Speed: 72.2 - 300 Mbps. As per (Win 7 Pro) wireless network connection status display.

3) "Internet speed OK but sometimes internet drops for a while? In this case, how often? For how long? Does the issue related to Kaspersky"? • Actually, it's impossible to become aware of, without the dedicated device! Due to the momentarily triggered internet interruptions. Mostly occurring within the fraction of a second. Audible alert would help. Any tips?

4) "Do you suspect your PC is infected"? • Well, according to Ali's advice given on Fri, 9 May 2025: "If you have run a full scan and had Kaspersky installed on the device since Oct 2024, it is doubtful that this is caused by anything malicious".

"We look forward to hear from you"!

• Likewise, I am eager to hear from you! All about the facts derived from your lengthy investigation into reprehensible deeds - carried out to the detriment of my lappy's reliability - besides the torment inflicted on me. Whilst the malicious internet interruptions cropped-up at will of the imbedded saboteur, virtually breathing down-my-neck. Symbolising a significant indicator that my lappy's reliability was compromised.

Next day, Tines replied on 22-06-25: "Hello, we've forwarded your inquiry to our experts, we will get back to you as soon as we hear from them". Oddly though topic's title: Malicious internet dropouts, gone from the subject line, beset by "Kaspersky Technical Support - ID INC000017508101".

A few days later, Tines persevered on 25-06-25: "I appreciate the patience you have shown. I apologize for my late response. Our Escalation Team have just replied to us with the latest update. Put the following files into password-protected zip archive and send to us".

• Are you serious? Any idea, what it's all about? Have a go, enlighten me! Yet an another attempt to derail the inquiry? Lacking interim finding, whatsoever. No result of the analysis by experts ever revealed. Whist the depicted facts in my emails were ignored entirely. In spite of the answered all the requests in the received emails. Copies of which, remained always beneath my replies, in a prescribed manner. Sadly, disrupted by the customer service representatives detached emails.

How to continue an email thread?

Continuing an email thread refers to the practice of replying to an existing email message while keeping the previous conversation intact. This method allows for a seamless flow of communication, as it keeps all related information in one consolidated thread. By utilizing the appropriate email etiquette, individuals can effectively continue an email thread while adding new information, addressing queries, or providing updates.

When continuing an email thread, it is crucial to follow a few best practices: Firstly, it is essential to maintain the subject line of the email, as this provides context to all recipients and helps them identify the ongoing conversation. Ideally, the subject line should be concise, relevant, and accurately reflect the content of the email.

Furthermore, when continuing an email thread, it is crucial to address all points raised in the previous email. This ensures that the conversation progresses smoothly and that no important aspects are overlooked. By systematically addressing each point, recipients can easily follow the discussion and provide appropriate responses ... https://www.usebouncer.com/knowledge-base/how-to-continue-an-email-thread
