I have a question about kaspersky products- why does it not perform the set action of the user once a threat has been detected and it asks the user to resolve by disinfecting, deleting etc.?

Do You mean Kaspersky asking You to remove malware instead of removing it directly without prompt?
Yes. And I also want to know until the user performs the action, what is the status- is it blocking the threat or not?
From my experience Kaspersky blocks the threat, then prompt and waits for the user action.

By default, K. is set and forget, removing malware automatically in the system and blocking malicious URLs... only with PUPs You will get a warning in the main GUI, to take actions...
To get prompts to take actions in all cases, You have to change to Interactive Mode:
So, You will get “Ask User” option in the applicable modules:

In the following cases, Kaspersky will ask users to take action on threats detected, even in automatic mode:
- Some threats detected by KSN.
- Threats inside an archive.
- Adware/PUA/Hacktool.
- And more...
And does delete function delete it permanently or it is sent to quarantine? If it is permanent, then kaspersky should make a quarantine option also

But in some specific modules such as SW:
I prefer automatic actions to be taken directly, without any user intervention...

In theory, it should be moved to quarantine... why I say “in theory”?? Because I've found there are some cases that K. sometimes remove a malicious file but not saving a copy in quarantine.
What is the pattern of this behaviour? I don't know, probably a bug...

KIS should automatically disinfect using one of the 2 methods and then delete. It asks for disinfection without restart or with restart. So, it is very annoying.

You have to set Interactive Mode, as I posted in my previous msg... then You may set in the different modules if You want to auto remove directly or be prompted...
Is it possible in KIS or only new version standard?

Then in Kaspersky File Anti-Virus:
Do the same in Scan settings, for example in Quick Scan:
You may also set up System Watcher -> Ask User...
Thanks. I selected select action automatically and i tested it. It automatically deleted the threat after around .5-2 minutes. KIS showed 1 issue for the malware which had resolve as an option. After around .5 minutes it got automatically deleted.
So, I think I finally understood- If i select disinfect and delete if disninfection fails, then it asks for the disinfection method first. So selecting perform action automatically in file antivirus solves the problem though it does after a few seconds.
I would suggest Kaspersky to add the ability to do the simple disinfection first automatically and then the advance one if it is possible and even if that does not work then delete the threat.
