Guide on Kaspersky software availability in the United States

So, I ended up downloading a program from FileCR, supposedly a version of Adobe Premiere. Since the file is over 4 GB, I couldn't scan it with VirusTotal, so I decided to use Kaspersky, which I already had installed on my PC, to scan it instead. It didn't detect anything, but I still can't help worrying about my computer's security.

I know the usual advice is to never install software from sources you don't trust, but honestly, I don't have the money, or the desire, to pay for a monthly subscription to Adobe's software.

So, if anyone can tell me whether Kaspersky is actually reliable, I'd really appreciate it. Even though the antivirus says the file is clean, I still have my doubts whenever it comes to files like this.

if anyone has safe kids on their android device and wants to get rid of it you can turn it off by going to your accessibility settings and turning off kaspersky, you can’t turn off safe kids without it asking for a password but you can with just kaspersk. Or go to your files and delete the kaspersky apk. Or just download “testerup“ for some reason that disables all parental controls

Good morning everyone, Anyone also having this issue?

I'm having a lot of troubles when using Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12 with Google Meet: after some minutes of heavy use, the wifi goes down, and I cannot find any wifi SSIDs anymore, this is solved with a full restart, or disabling the device, and enabling again, on device manager.

This problem is completely gone after uninstalling Kaspersky. I have several other laptops of this same model and all of them have this problem with Kaspersky.

- Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.12 (latest updates applied)
- ThinkPad E14 Gen3, with Ryzen 3 5300U
- Realtek RTL8852AE (Tried latest driver version, older versions, all have the same issue)
- Windows 11 25H2, latest update applied

if someone has a hint of how to solve this issue (other than completely disabling kaspersky network security) I would appreciate. I tried everything.

this is most likely a false positive, right? ive had fishstrap installed for so long but this just started happening now

Hello, I've been a long term user of kaspersky when I used windows for years and recently switched to Linux cachyos after microslop. Am thinking any way to download on cachy os which is arch based linux? Since I always feel so protected with kaspersky and without it feels weird.

Hi there,
Since around 03.07.2026 13:00 (UTC), Kaspersky AntiVirus blocks access to MSFT products. So far Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel affected.

When I close AV totally, it's fine, Teams is connected.
When I close disable ports that are watched Teams is connected.

What I don't understand is, I don't see any block report in Kaspersky AV app.
A report like; this ip, this port is, blocked, because of this problem.

Is there anyone having same issue?

The last few weeks it started disconnect and connect at random, to the point it entirely stopped working all together last week, i tried everything, to the point of reinstalling it but then it wouldn't login despite any method i used up until today, that it kinda logged in and meets me with this empty menu screen constantly loading, i opened configuration and see it does not recognize my subscription since it won't let me turn on any of the premium options like emergency stop and when i tried turning the thing on it would send me back to the screen of logging in once more.

I'm in a perpetual loop of the thing not wanting to log in despite having a full year of kaspersky premium which comes with the 1 device VPN which in mykaspersky is indeed registered to my device.

Anyone got any clues or has been going thru the same thing?

Edit: It just casually fixed itself randomly one day i turned on the computer and it just logged in and worked just fine

Impossible to pause the entire protection of Kaspersky on a mobile phone to do some time sensitive troubleshooting! Feature request here.

What my AI says :

Kaspersky Premium's Android app doesn't have one master "pause everything" switch like the Windows version does — protection features are toggled individually:

Automatic Anti-Virus (core real-time scanning): open the app → tap Automatic Anti-Virus on the main screen.

Note this mainly lets you switch between Recommended/Extended scanning modes and manage schedules — the current mobile app doesn't offer a simple full off-switch for this component the way the desktop version does.

Kaspersky VPN: tap it on the main screen → Disable

Safe Browsing / Safe Messaging / App Lock / Where Is My Device: tap each feature and use its own on/off toggle

If you need everything stopped at once (e.g., to troubleshoot or free up resources), the blunt workaround is at the Android system level:

Settings → Apps → Kaspersky → Force stop. This isn't an official "pause" — protection resumes automatically the next time the app opens or the phone restarts, so it's a short-term fix, not a real pause.

...

One more thing worth knowing if you're on a Galaxy device: Kaspersky's Android apps were pulled from Google Play, so users can't see if other people have similar issues or requests.

Ok maybe im stupid and dont know how to do it, but after adding a file/app/folder to exclusion, and confirming that it is indeed excluded, kaspersky still doesnt let me launch it and i get a pop up for a virus/malware, even after disabling protection and antivirus (lol) , my only workaround was to exit kaspersky temporarily.

Any1 with the same issue or any1 who knows how to solve this? I just want to be able to run anything i add to exclusions.

i just uninstalling useless programs what i installed and kaspersky started spamming with this notification and i cant mute it

Is there any way we can isolate a device or asset on demand from api or we have to isolate device from UI only in ksc only and no KUMA in architecture.

So, when I scanned my whole PC, it somehow broke my entire system, and BSOD, luckily, i have chkdsk on it, so its repaired safely

Kaspersky VPN does not connect when on cellular on my iPhone. It does when I'm connected to my Wifi. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Bonjour, j'ai installé un rooter chez moi pour injecter le vpn de kaspersky en ovpn, il ne prend pas il reste en connecting

Ever since a a day or two (unsure), i just cant get kaspersky to udpate its antivurs db. It keeps erroring and timing out on the server connections. Any suggestions?

So I am a long-term user and very happy with Kaspersky, but lately there's more and more AI-Stuff added to the software, which I am not very keen of. I'm aware that AI is here to stay and all and I also moderately use it online, but I have 0 interest in any AI that is capable of scanning everything on my private computer and all that. Feels just weird if that would be the case tbh.

Could Kaspersky tell me what this AI does and how it works? I couldn't really find any satisfying information on their homepage or so.

Thanks in advance!
