What is kaspersky-labs.com (ff.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com)

[JaffaCakes118]

I have Kaspersky Internet Security, and every website I go on it has kaspersky-labs.com (ff.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com), I’m guessing it’s to do with the web antivirus but I’m not sure. My extension (Ublock Origin) blocks kaspersky-labs.com but the web anti virus still seems to block malicious websites.

 

So what is ff.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com?

And what will happen if I keep it blocked?

Hello @JaffaCakes118, Welcome.

KIS can communicate with the browser add-on via this address.
The URL 'ff.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com' is resolved locally on your computer, no data leaves the computer.
This URL is inserted by script injection into every page called by the browser.
For the function of the AV it is unimportant, it only facilitates the operation (e.g. visualization of the URL check).

see ‘Settings->Network settings->Traffic processing’.

So I can disable this script injection without affecting security?

Yes, you can do that.

The network traffic is scanned at the data stream level, so script injection is not necessary.

If you do not use the URL Advisor, for example, you have no disadvantages.

Be advised that according to Kaspersky, disabling Script Injection will cause Safe Money and Private Browsing to not function properly among other components not functioning properly.
