Re: Kaspersky Secure Connection

I have Kaspersky on my computer and it works ok. I have Kaspersky total security, When I go to certain websites that need protection it comes up and asks if I want to use it. I always do because it is personal info. If it were me, I would call technical support and they will help you. I find them to be very customer friendly. I would not delete any virus until I checked it out. If you leave your computer without a virus protection, you could be in trouble. This is just my opinion.

Jordan is not wanting to delete Kaspersky just the add on that Kaspersky receently launched, Secure Conntection, to protect your PC ip address and using wifi in public places.......

I have had Kaspersky Internet Security or its equivalent by them for several years and am happy with the general protection. However, I haven't had good experiences with their add-ons like Safe Money, and AFAIC, Secure Connection falls into the same category, so I don't even want to try it. It's not installed, even though Kaspersky nags me quietly about it. I've also disabled Safe Money.

 

I have Kaspersky running all the time, and occasionally do a complete scan, and haven't yet turned up any bugs. It usually informs me on the fly of attempts on my ports, which it rebuffs. So based just on my experience, I'd say you'd be okay if you turned it off.

I agree, I have really liked Kaspersky Security, I found McAfee too intrusive, and had an issue with a glitch with Norton's download that really messed up a computer I had---not even Tech's could fix it. 

 

Kaspersky was really good in preventing me from going to my church website that had been hacked and a virus had also been downloaded....it came up ACCESS DENIED!!! and saved me a headache, while friends that used other virus protection didnt get the message. 

 

Not overly fond of the Kaspersky's Secure Connection add-on (I have my own mobile wifi with security so dont use public wifis), and not overly fond of Safe Money either......but the rest is great and use the scanning tools and other features...
