![]() If not done already, back up all your files and pictures to two cloud accounts and one external hard drive and then if the worst happens you can restore everything from one of those backups. HTTPS Everywhere upgrades non-secure HTTP sites to HTTPS or warns you if that’s not possible. UBlock Origin, is an excellent addition (enable AdGuard annoyances and AdGuard base filters and leave all other filter settings at their defaults). You really shouldn’t need a separate browser extension on top of KSC, especially with KSN, but at worst you’d lose nothing by using Malwarebytes Browser Guard. KSN allows Kaspersky to instantly analyze websites and files in the cloud ahead of local signature updates. *For the highest level of protection from Kaspersky, both malware and browser protection, in exchange for providing greater usage data (anonymous), keep or enable KSN. The extension provides more features in the premium versions, but again malware, phishing protection, etc comes solely from the central AV. All browser protection comes from the central AV. ![]() If you’re using KSC Free, the browser extension purely gives you an on-screen keyboard. But the fact we’re having this chat in a forum where Kaspersky answers questions without fear or favor isn’t as common as one might imagine. Two things have impressed me with Kaspersky, firstly its behavioral detection, ransomware, etc and its malware database are second to none. I’ve not used Malwarebytes Browser Guard but was aware of it and that it would likely follow the URL detection of Malwarebytes premium, also see *. Malwarebytes can control how its software behaves, but they have no control over how the other AV might respond. It certainly is highly regarded but I’ve yet to be convinced that Malwarebytes’ talk of using it with other AVs is little more than a sales line. I’ve used Malwarebytes scanner but not its real-time protection. Really appreciate your insight as I want to stay as safe as possible! Can I ask if you use it and are satisfied with it? I do use the Kaspersky Protection extension at this time as well as uBlock Origin. This seems to be one of the topics that it’s difficult to find consensus for. You make a very valid point in regards to potential conflicts and I find myself wondering how often this actually happens “in the wild”. ![]() I do believe and have trust in Kaspersky (I know how highly rated they are in terms of detection) but it’s hard to know. Due to the fact that MWB has caught so many things with real-time protection turned on, I’m really struggling with turning it off (ransomware is off at this point). Real-time malware protection would come KSC, with Malwarebytes Browser Guard giving you a further URL check beyond that of Kaspersky. In other words, two AVs seeing each other as a threat.ĭon’t forget an AV doesn’t know the ‘other’ software is an AV, it just sees what the other was trying to do, which it could determine was itself an attack by malware.Īs an aside, Malwarebytes offers a separate browser extension, used independently of their AV software, so you could use that, in conjunction with KSC and Malwarebytes (scanner only mode). Beyond increasing CPU and memory usage, I’d say the worst case scenario could be a malware attack where the response of one (KSC or Malwarebytes) was seen as suspicious behaviour by the other and so tries to block it.
