It seems that domain is legitimate and belongs to Microsoft, but Kaspersky is detecting something wrong with its certificate.

Also I've found in this link that doain seems to be related to W10 telemetry "Spying": Here's how to Block Windows 10 "Spying" - Web Protection: Web Filtering & Application Visibility/Control - Sophos UTM 9 - Sophos Community

I would contact to KL Support.

Yes it must be this.It's nice that Kaspersky blocks telemetry on windows 10,i have also seen this only with CIS.Thanks!:emoji_pray:

Removed Thor Foresight Home: Causing Internet Connection Breakdowns and slowing a bit web traffic.Nevertheless good web protection but imo, the cost is high, when you can do the same thing with an extension.

I really like KSCF but i want to try just VS standalone for a while or maybe for more!First thoughts,having only 4gb ram, i must admitt that my system now flying to the stars and beyondBrowsing at warp speed and boot time 10 seconds faster!Maybe i can live without an AV,considering i am safe.

An interesting approach
For me a no go because of connection issues prevented VoodooShield to work properly all-time.
Hope it works for you.

Nice, lean setup. I can't imagine Windows Defender @ default settings would have much impact on your system. Have you considered Chromium Edge Dev version? Smartscreen protection + faster than Chrome, even faster than Brave. Lower memory usage than any other browser I've tried. Enable AppContainer in Edge: flags. Make sure VS has detected whatever browser you use as some have to be added through GUI>Web Apps>"Detect running web apps". Use uBO in Medium Mode (block 3rd party scripts & frames) for banking. Do this and you can throw Avast secure browser in the trash!

Thanks for your help, really really nice suggestions i will definitely consider!! The only thing I disagree is about Avast Browser, i like it! But i will try the new edge just waiting for the stable release.As for WD, tried it some times at recent past, but proved to be buggy, maybe now changed

Once again changed my config
Removed:VS
That was hard to do, it was a very light config, very convienent for me.The reason,read some posts on internet, not a clever idea to run only Free VS cause if you allow a legitimate parent process with compromised child processes probably you will get infected, only in paid VS (in recent future i will certainly buy a license), you can untick this unless you have installed some programs like 7zip etc.Anyway, complicated situations are not for me, i prefer simple ones and clear mind i will not get infected!
Added:McAfee Internet Security
Grabbed a free 6 months license from Comss, a challenge because nobody here on MT is interested at McAfee products but it seems things changed, (latest reviews showing great test results).First thoughts, very light impact to my system (only 4gb ram) although many prosecess are runnning,about 2,5 to 4 mb ram,total about 60 mb almost like KSCF.Clean GUI but a little slow to open,browsing is very fast, better than using Avast or KSCF (Mcafee Web Advisor Included).I will share my thoughts after some time, hoping will stay safe

Yes, tried in the past Avast and KSCF but Mcafee seems to be the lightest of the three although it's internet security.Besides, UI is a little confusing and delayed to open, but pretty in the eye.In terms of protection, seems to be doing really well at latest tests, hope it will be!

I've been impressed with the newer versions of McAfee internet security too. It is light and seems pretty solid protection wise too. I hope you enjoy using it.

i am also impressed, since it's a little bit inpopular compared to other suites, but so far so good!

I'm glad to hear it's working well so far! It's good to see them improving. Like Norton they had their dark past, but eventually Norton got out of it. McAfee took a little longer, but from what I've seen, it seems like they too are getting out of that funk.
