Consider setting UAC to "Always Notify" and please specify the version of Kaspersky that you are using within your Config (Total Security, Internet Security etc.) and add the browser that you are using. :)

This can be done by pressing "Edit Thread" on your config page.

@JamieTech: as already suggested previously, please edit Your config and reflect the missing data in the config.

Also, apart from setting UAC to Always Notify, complete browser section and NetWork Firewall: move Google Driver to Personal Files & Photos backup, and in Device recovery & backup, I would add a full image system backup solution: Macrium Reflect and/or AOMEI Backupper, bot are free and reliable.

In Secure DNS: You may use services such as CloudFlare NDS, NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, etc.

Thanks for sharing :)
