it acutually did a good job, not great though. However, it has quite poor PUP protection as expected

Thanks again @safe1st for the video.

Interesting test, thanks!

I see that some of the remaining samples, are even not malware, others probably if We sent to KL VirusDesk will not be added/flagged as malicious, and such amount of infected objects (thousands) are even "not real" since MBAM and HMP consider as infected objects every file that belongs to that applications even if they are only no malicious files as gif txt and others files that complement the operation of the application...

Anyway We all know that Kaspersky should improve its PUP/PUA/Adware detection... also even if You did some minor tweaks, still is almost in Default settings, no Application Control tweaks and there are some modules which can prevent installing PUP in some systems areas/browsers as "Application Manager -> System Changes Control" which is also disabled by default.

Thanks for the review

(I personally put all at max, with all modules used)

Yes, hopefully they will improve it. And make action on detection to 'Delete' by default
but as requested so I did exactly what he want. Next time will tweak more

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed!
Have a great weekend

Kaspersky did good but PUP detection needs improvement even though it's a difficult task.
Even programs with very good PUP detection such as ESET and EAM sometimes their PUP detection it's not the best.
Thanks for the review @safe1st

a lot AVs have weakness at this point, if it's really critical to get rid of PUP, then MBAM is unbeatable, I think...

Nice test as always

With all settings on max i dont think alot of those PUP's will survive.

Also, in some cases Kaspersky may not detect legal junkware for legal reasons.

No, no, Unchecky beats all of them Of course in situations when PUP is installed by checking.
