I called Kaspersky and their "fix" is to turn off the anti-banner button. It didn't help. Not happy with them at all now and I understand they're having problems with Windows 10...I'm still on Windows 7. I am also now looking for a new a/v.
Sorry to hear that. I'm running Windows 10 with Kaspersky and it's neutralized a couple of email-based vectors for me (nothing I would have opened to begin with, but it's nice to know it's actually
doing something). The only issue I've had was mentioned elsewhere in this forum; Kaspersky interfered with the ability to pin/unpin applications to/from the Start menu. The workaround has been to restart Explorer, but I also know that there's a permanent fix in beta test.
My only other gripe with Kaspersky is their rootkit scan, which kicks off at something like 10am Eastern. It impacts performance enough to fire up the fan on my Lenovo T420, but it's not noticeable when I'm working on something. It also suspends operation when the laptop is running on battery so it shouldn't be a power drain. I would prefer that the start time be adjustable, though, thus my gripe.
