[QUOTE="cofer123, post: 1012356, member: 92976"] I had something similar happen a couple of years ago with software I was developing myself. Kaspersky detected it as a security risk, triggered an advanced disinfection, forcefully closed everything I had open and forced a Windows restart. I got a lot of broken stuff afterwards like corrupted Firefox extensions, missing files I had recently edited, some programs failing to initialize... It was the tipping point that made me look elsewhere, especially since I had explicitly configured Kaspersky to always prompt me before any actions, only to have it ignored on this situation. Sometimes Kaspersky decides to take over and there is nothing you can do. Pure especulation, but I believe this increase in false positives and other issues I've read recently could be a consequence of [URL='https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackerone-kicks-kaspersky-s-bug-bounty-program-off-its-platform/']Kaspersky being kicked out of HackerOne bug bounty program[/URL], and possibly other restrictions imposed to Kaspersky by other parties due to everything that's going on.
