Advice Request Memory integrity

[cc2150dx]

I currently use Kaspersky Plus, version 21.7.7.393. Windows 11 home 64-bit. Under Windows Security-->Device Security-->Core isolation-->Memory integrity (should this setting be on or off ? ) It is currently on. Thanks

How do I know if I'm using Hardware Virtualization with Kaspersky Plus ?

Yeah, you have to choose either Kaspersky or WIndows built in virtualization. Otherwise with both enabled, Kaspersky won't work properly.

Kaspersky and Window memory integrity

Greetings, Should I disable Windows Core Isolation Memory Integrity if I use Hardware Virtualization with Kaspersky Internet Security? Thanks.

@harlan4096 Mine is exactly like yours.

So, should memory integrity be on or off ?

Thanks

In my system it's ok since my old lap does not support Virtualization tech hehe...

In Your case, probably it is because Mem Integrity is on, so using Microsoft Hypervisor, which it is incompatible with Kaspersky Hypervisor, can't be coexists 2 different Hypervisors in the system... one of them should be disabled...

Memory Integrity or Kaspersky virtualization is better to enable in terms of protection?

 

[Jan Willy]

If you don't disable Memory Integrity (a feature inside Core Isolation), Kaspersky will not offer full protection. See my post
Battle - For anti Ransomware should I purchase or install AppCheck or NeuShield? post # 16.

Memory Integrity is a very important security component for windows.
Do we know what security capabilities Kaspersky loses without hardware virtualization?

Hi @harlan4096 I did not find this on K+ latest version. Why?

 

[harlan4096]

Just do a search, They made some reorganization in Settings: go to Settings -> Privacy Settings -> Secure Data Input

Kaspersky claims Hardware virtualization is not available — except it is avaiailable. Now what?

I dont see it in K+

 

[harlan4096]

In version K+ 21.9 is in Settings -> Privacy Settings -> Secure Data Input:



In my old laptop Hardware Virtualization is not available, because the CPU is an old Intel Dual Core T4300, and it does not support it.

Which CPU do You have, W11?

Windows Core isolation is incompatible with Kaspersky Hypervisor, only 1 Hypervisor can be working in the system.

Hello @harlan4096
The same for me; Virtualization is not available on my system but my CPU is not so old

 

[harlan4096]

Then You have to check Your BIOS settings and enable there the Virtualization Support.

But I see You are using W11, if Windows Core Isolation enabled, then Kaspersky Virtualization will be disabled, as only 1 hypervisor can be running in system.

Thanks @harlan4096
You are right, Windows Core Isolation is enabled.
Is it better to disable it and get Kaspersky Virtualization or to stay with Windows Core Isolation ?

 

[harlan4096]

This is the one million question... "in theory" Windows CI should offer a wider protection since it's fully integrated in the OS.
