Is the Kaspersky extension not compatible with Firefox?

I would prefer it over Bitdefender TrafficLight.

I'm not sure if WhitelistCloud Free adds something to your protection next to Kaspersky, maybe swap that with VoodooShield Free?
What do others, for example @danb or @harlan4096 think about that?

May take it out all together along with SUMo tbh, they both serve nothing now so I think you're correct on that. Just have got the time atm to make any other changes to my system.

Removed software:
- SUMo, irrelevant for my needs now, need to better way to see if apps are out of date, had one before but forgot what it was called
- WhitelistCloud, also irrelevant whilst Tinywall, Syshardener and Kaspersky Cloud Free are on my system
- Kaspersky VPN, I have Windscribe

Compared with WD, KCF is light and smooth with your current config? are you using default settings or have you tweaked?

Probably will be tweaked if the expert himself (@harlan4096) wishes to help me with.

Essentially the lightest AV/Firewall package you're ever gonna get that has amazing detection. Can't say Webroot because the detection and prevention is useless and no one shoot be using it. xD

Let me a bit of time and I'll post some tweaks, anyway I remember @Evjl's Rain also posted in the forum his lights tweaks for KSCF...

Thanks brother, I'll wait a bit.

KCAV is between 30-90MB. Sometimes below 30MB.
Tinywall on the other hand is below 10MB ALL THE TIME.

it seems that the performance is similar to WD, there is no doubt that KCAV is probably one of the best alternatives to WD

Here are the tweaks from @Evjl's Rain :

Kaspersky Free AntiVirus 2019 - December 2018 Report

did you try all performance tweaks for KFA? I use it on an 8-year old celeron laptop and it works great Probably not :oops: Can you give me more information?

When testing WD, the memory was so bloated at times it was 200MB, compared to less than 95MB for KCAV. Memory usage for me has a big part to play with anything like that tbh really.

This is not helpful for the 2021 version, can there can be an updated tweak post so I know which one's to tick off and so I don;t mess up the performance of Kaspersky.

Most options are still there, but at a different place in the 2021 version.

Go to settings by clicking the gear symbol (is correct English?)

Protection ==> File Anti-Virus ==> Advanced Settings
You can set the Scan Mode to On execution
I didn't change this on my system

General ==> Performance:
Postpone computer scan tasks (must be on)
San for weak operating system settings (must be off)
Release resources is not there anymore?
Search for rootkits setting is not there anymore?

Network settings
Limit traffic on metered connections (must be off) (I leave it on, because it doesn't cause slowdowns for me)
Inject script into web traffic (must be off)
The others are good at default, but I also untick the scanning of EV-certificates there

Interface
The display settings are not there anymore?
I unticked all available notification settings there except the ones under Show application's status in notifications area.
You can untick them as well to safe some resources.

At Privacy Protection (main screen) I ticked Block data collection

I hope this helps and enjoy Kaspersky Security Cloud Free!

EDIT: post edited after the Shift + F12 trick of @harlan4096 changed the interface from Dutch to English

You tell me now....
I will edit my post 55

Currently I have no KSCF2021MR2 (but KTS2021MR2) in any of my systems...

Can you see if you can find the settings I couldn't find?

Release resources is not there anymore?
Search for rootkits setting is not there anymore?

Maybe I overlooked something.

That 95 mb is the not the actual memory used by Kaspersky. Kaspersky also use around 200 mb or more in general. The value can increase or decrease based on the tasks it performs. Use something like Process Explorer/Process Hacker to check the actual memory usage but probably the best one with proper explanation is the built in "Resource Monitor". Kaspersky and Windows Defender's ram usage is quite similar on average and 200 mb by no means is a lot.
