From the setup owner View current setup
Is Malwarebytes Browser Guard really needed when using Kaspersky?
Your right, I have now removed it.
How is Kaspersky Password Manager working for you?
I have been using it for about 7 years now without any issues. I find it very easy to use.
If you change from Kaspersky to another antivirus what to do with your passwords?
I'm not sure what you mean? I use Kaspersky Password Manager no matter which AV I have used in the past.
