Yes! It's Kaspersky's important protection measure, which you can consider a core feature.

100% nessicary.

Spyware. I disable.

Seriously, your data and personal files are monitored by Kaspersky's other protection modules anyway, so in general any user have to trust them otherwise makes no sense to use Kaspersky or even any other AV.
To be on topic: Kaspersky System Watcher does work together in some way with KSN like for comparing hash of files or after suspicious activity and detection of unknown malware.
In short: KSN should be enabled to increase protection. I have it always enabled on my 2nd laptop with installed Kaspersky Free (AV).

 

[nickstar1]

yes thats like the main part of the program please make sure its enabled.

 

[likeastar20]

As the others have said, KSN is a must.

 

[Xeno1234]

Spyware. I disable.

Does Kaspersky Protection browser extension needed?

No not realy, K also protect from phishing/malware site's without the extension.

 

[Xeno1234]

KSN should be enabled for a few reasons
1: Cloud Protection (you have none without KSN)
2: Increases detection in general - Components use KSN for decision making (pretty sure). By not having KSN, components wont be working at their fullest.

LoL! Microsoft & Google also Spyware..??? Every software companies are spyware. No matter what settings you disabled to stop it from track you ,it will get you.

Of course, for me it is as important as the firewall and system monitor, and it integrates with all Kaspersky modules to provide ideal protection. Also, modern versions rely on it primarily when scanning files manually, and this is what I saw when scanning. a file in offline mode and discovering it when connected to the Internet.

The associated reputation of the application is a comprehensive security analysis that distinguishes Kaspersky from all other protection programs, This analysis lets you know whether programs and tools that do not belong to large companies and are unknown or do not carry a digital signature pose a risk in use or are as reliable as other programs, something that other protection programs do not allow

Kaspersky without KSN is like Defender without Smartscreen, your choice, your lose.

 

[harlan4096]

KSN also give detections of malicious sites...
