Question How secure is Kaspersky's default deny mode you think?

[gfgtkitkat34]

Kaspersky's intrusion prevention is arguably the main reason for many to buy the program instead of going with free, and I would like to know how reliable you think it is with default deny settings. (manually setting it to untrusted/untrusted)

I'd have to point out that Kaspersky doesn't come with a default deny approach, and there are millions of users worldwide that use their computers free of malware for years with factory settings, so one can assume that default Kaspersky settings will still provide very good protection in most cases.

So based on that, can we assume K under default deny mode will provide the user close to perfect protection unless we're talking about a targeted zero-day attack by a group of hackers or something? (And this is assuming that the user regularly updates the system, oh cause)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Kaspersky's default deny mode is indeed highly secure, as it blocks any application not recognized as safe. However, no security solution can guarantee 100% protection, especially against sophisticated zero-day attacks. It's always best to combine it with safe browsing habits and regular system updates.

Is this the one involving intrusion prevention? I had problems with it and Kaspersky Standard because when I installed software like Gdownloader it blocked them. I had to figure out how to go to the settings and put them in non-restriction and/or exclude. I understand, though, that this will create problems if any software excluded and then compromised later is updated.

I was thinking of getting paid AVs for relatives before this. Imagine the complaints I'd be getting from beginners not knowing what to do.

IMHO: Default Deny can be useful in some scenarios, mostly corporate.
Talking about it, is the one of the ZT aproach in Kaspersky, but is just another layer of protection, this does not mean you will be 100% safe.
