Is there any free and light weight security product that could provide behavior blocking functionality and can be used alongside KAF without any problem.
Please do not recommend default deny products like cfw and vs.
Just a plain behavior blocker that is efficient and can provide MBR protection.

You remember the 1-Yr free subscription that Sophos started to offer for the new Sophos Home Premium Beta? This package includes HMPA protection unlike the old Sophos AV.
You can disable the real-time File AV and Web filter in SHPB and keep the sig-less dynamic protection components including Exploit Mitigation, Cryptoguard, etc. ON so that you get HMPA features to work alongside Kaspersky Free.
I'd tried this method with Avast (BB disabled..) and I faced no notable issues. Since K Free has no dynamic protection, HMPA modules from SHPB should work well in complementation. This way you get behavior blocking, exploit protection, ransomware protection and rollback, cloud protection, identity protection, process protection etc. all covered by the combo.

Some have suggested to use KART with K Free. However, KART also has a File AV (associated with KSN) and the combo is not much recommended. The System Watcher found in KART is also not at par with the one found in KAV/KIS/KTS. Next, all you need is a Windows Firewall control.

spy shelter. i think there is a free version. although it doesn't have an auto block.... a dialog pop up and you choose. if some hidden logger attempts to execute it'll ask if you want it to make changes to your computer or to terminate it. basically it's a control what runs thing

off topic. if you want to download vids from lots of sites buy tubedigger

if you want a fast free vpn to decensor the net.... freevpn.me with openvpn client

if you want stuff cheaper... ebay

buy stuff but try ebay... you'll get legit yearly keys for around 5 quid

example Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 1 PC / Gerät 1Jahr Vollversion Key ESD Download

why much cheaper.... i dunno... maybe because you are only purchasing the key

that's the issue with a lot of products from their main site... you're buying the key and the product. through ebay you can skip the product and just buy the key. and the keys are legit, you can login, etc. not pirate keys

Among other options are installing Avast Free (disabling File and Web AV) and use its CyberCapture and BB. You can then add Appcheck or KART for ransomware protection to the 'K Free+Avast combo'. Zemana is also an option.

Among the paid ones, there's a strong antiransom protection from WinPatrol. They've 3 products
  • WinAntiRansom - Registry protection, Network Lockdown, strong RW protection including File/Folder Access control, protection against worms, stealers, trojans, scripts, rats etc.
  • WinPatrol (a product from old times) - for reversing all kinds of unwanted system changes, Real-time Infiltration Detection, Registry Monitoring
  • WinPatrol Firewall
They've some nice combo deals (that include their FW) and lifetime licenses too. Their antiransom protection (WAR vid1 / WAR vid2) is among the best. Though I've seen it fail against a few non-RW samples in reviews, ofcourse nothing is 100%

What about add Kaspersky anti ransomware? it's bascially system watcher
As I mentioned in my previous post, SW in KART is not the same as the one found in paid products of Kaspersky. It is a stripped down version for handling ransomware tactics only. It should be considered as a pure anti-RW. Nothing more.

I read you post after posting my post with Comodo Firewall as BB. Why you not like it?

Kaspersky Free: Very good signatures.
Comodo Firewall: Auto-Sandbox and advanced HIPS for zero-day malware

there is no free and effective behavior blocker but there is free Hips(REHIPS) which work like behavior but you need to think and decide to block or no.
Otherwise, you can be a beta tester for F-secure or trend micro to get an effective and free behavior blocker.:p

Best behavior blocker list ever. You can cut malware with avidemux und upload keyloggers to the rubbish with qBittorrent xD
Spy Shelter Firewall costs money. @Prayag is searching for free security.

That's some seriously creative solid configs, especially the KAF+Sophos one, and for free too. Nice

The latest free option is to install NVT OSArmor alongside KAF.

Its a free BB and provides the functionality missing in Kaspersky. Along with an AE like NVT ERP and an AR like AppCheck, you have complete all-around protection.
