[QUOTE="rndmblk, post: 940806, member: 89746"] After re-reviewing [USER=33155]@Soulbound[/USER]'s settings I have made a couple of changes. 1) Under Application Control set ‘Trust group for applications started before startup of Kaspersky’ to [B]High Restricted[/B] (was Low Restricted) 2) Under Settings > Network set [B]Do not scan encrypted connections[/B] (was Scan encrypted connections upon request from connection components) [U]Rootkit scans[/U] One setting that appears to have been in KIS 2020 and KTS (might still be there for KTS?) is under the Performance section and was called "Search for software that is intended to conceal traces of a malicious program in the system (rootkits)" KIS 2021 doesn't have a setting group sepcifically called Performance. Instead, Performance is part of General. It now consists of only three settings: - Disable scheduled tasks while running on battery power - Use gaming mode - Postpone computer tasks when the CPU and disk systems are at high load KIS 2021 background scan includes a rootkit search. However, this scan is an 'all or nothing'. If it is enabled you get a prompt 'When enabled the scan works in automatic mode and does not need to be configured'. So it seems the only way to disable ongoing background rootkit scans (after allowing at least one full rootkit scan to complete) is to disable background scans completely.
