I'm right that kaspersky antivirus doesnt have the application control? just include in IS and TS?
But the system watcher is enough for a solid protection or?

Thank you for your suggestion. I am always zealous to to minimize start up programs with Autoruns from Sysinternals. Currently only 3 programs in startup, including KIS.
- On your keyboard, press Ctrl, Alt and Delete at the same time.
- Click Task Manager.
- Click the Startup tab. You should now see a list of every program that starts when Windows is loaded. To disabled an item, right click on it and click Disable.
- When you are done, close the Task Manager. Changes will apply next time you restart your machine.

Thanks, appreciated! I installed Norton Safe Web just a minute go, will now temporarily disable K9 to see what Safe Web does.

Norton Safe Web is a good addon....it has protected me more than once from bad miners.
Well I did stop K9 for 10 minutes then visited Softonic and Norton Safe Web did not block it or give a warning. According to MajorGeeks and others ( for example Computer totaal, a Dutch magazine/ website) Softonic installs wrappers with adware, malware and viruses. Back to K9.
Well I already did that when with Eset things went wrong. The great advantage of MSE is you never have these annoying kind of things. I wonder what is up coming more in the coming weeks...
actually, not everyone flags softonic for unknown reasons although it's reported malicious. Perhaps, softonic in the present doesn't contain malware anymore?
according to virustotal, none of the engines flags softonic
VirusTotal
weird
only custom filters block it
for example, ublock origin's default filter and Steven Black's hosts block it

Hello @Evjl's Rain
How are you ?
1/ if I uncheck "inject script..." , will my security be reduced ?
2/ How can I add your filter to µBlock Origin ?
Thanks my friend.

You will lose those features... but still protected at traffic level...
harlan said it all. I have nothing to addHello @Evjl's Rain

Thanks my friend.
about ublock origin, just copy and paste the links of the filters into the box at the bottom of ublock main page and then click apply

As for Kaspersky's web extension: disable without issue
As for Kaspersky's web antivirus module I would highly recommend, DO NOT DISABLE! Same applies for firewall.
You must understand that antivirus developers create a perfect synchronization with all modules in order to achieve one decent solution. For example, Behaviour Blocker (BB) is really tied to firewall. The first one will monitor processes and application's behaviour. Suddenly, it will monitor an outbound connection thanks to its firewall and due to the AI realise such connection belongs to a malicious behaviour an application has. That's how modules are tied to work together.
Now if you disabled Firewall, for example, such scenario wouldn't happen, because no module would have been monitoring the connection so probably BB wouldn't have been triggered.
Avoid at all costs disabling/uninstalling security products components. If necessary, downgrade to a more basic version, or uninstall the product and choose another vendor. But do not sacrifice your system's security and stability.

Not using Opera but do use KTS2018. Also have an old machine (Xeon x5680) but with a few more threads than yours.
But compared to other AV's, suits and combos I've tried I can't say there are any difference in browserspeed. Using FF with privacy badger, https everywhere and No-script.
I know this doesn't answer your question but thought I'd give some feedback from an equally old machine.
