In Settings/Protection all of the options are ON by default and cannot be turned off, ie File AV, Web AV, Network Attack Blocker, System Watcher, IM AV, Mail AV. If you click one to try to toggle it you get a popup saying that you have to upgrade to be able to configure protection.
As far as I can tell it's set to automatically quarantine, but this isn't explicitly stated. Perhaps someone else here can say more...
Yes i created an account. I have used it before with no pop-ups so i was surprised when i got one this time. Now its been running for 3 days and no pop-ups so maybe it was a onetime thing when i started.
Exactly, I would always have this weird feeling, not really worth it. I don't care about what people say about us consumers not being at risk, fact is we just don't know what the hell all of these AV's are up to, and there is virtually no way to monitor them because they run with full privileges.
You can also check under settings --> additional --> additional protection and management tools. You have two options with "accept" or "decline", the first one is about Kaspersky Security Network, the second one is about marketing stuffs
From the main window you can go to settings --> general and on the right low corner there is an option to set the protection level (high, recommended, low). But I can't find anything about how the protection changes, it only mentions the performance impact
I use OSArmor with Kaspersky Free (but without Comodo Firewall, which can give problems after a big Windows update). They can work along quite well: KFA has good definitions, a huge cloud database and also a kind of application monitoring; OSA is a great BB and can especially catch zero-days that KFA may miss. Of course, CF is much more powerfull and nearly 100% bulletproof; but in my opinion KFA + OSA is a nicer combo on Windows 10
Just done a full scan and the report says no detection but 10 cloud objects skipped. Why skip the 10 cloud objects.
@cheater87 and anything you'd like to have changed but can't? like, you know, auto file submission, auto file deletion, etc.?
Actually, I have been pleasantly surprised by the lack of nags. There were a few in the first 2 or 3 days right at startup but they seem to have almost disappeared for me.
That is interesting. Maybe I didn't persevere with it long enough, but I figured if the prompts continued the way they were that would be too annoying for me.
I don't see any upgrade prompts. Is that because I use the GDPR version for the European Union where you can turn the marketing stuff off?
No performance problems on 3 systems here varying from i3, 4GB Ram to i7 and 16GB Ram, so my advice is to try it out on your setup(s).
