Advice Request What Kaspersky Configuration can I do to provide the largest amount of Protection Possible?

[Xeno1234]

I've seen alot of guides related to heavily increasing the protection of Kaspersky via HIPS. I want to know the best possible configuration to both have extremely high detection rates of malware, while also utilizing HIPS to reduce any damage that undetected malware can do.

To achieve a high level of protection with Kaspersky, I recommend the following configuration:

1. Set Kaspersky to perform real-time protection and automatic scanning of all files, downloads, and websites that you visit.

2. Turn on the Cloud Protection service to get the latest information about new threats and suspicious programs.

3. Enable the System Watcher feature, which monitors system behavior and rolls back any unwanted changes, if detected.

4. Configure the HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System) to alert you of any suspicious activities and prompt you when an unknown application tries to execute code on your system.

5. Set the Privacy Protection module to block suspicious requests from applications that try to access your personal information.

By following these steps, you'll have a powerful combination of threat detection and prevention, while also utilizing the HIPS feature to reduce the impact of undetected malware.

Ty. Do you know if these "break" kaspersky in any way though, as idk if modifying HIPS just to deny things affects the detection capabilities of other components.

as idk if modifying HIPS just to deny things affects the detection capabilities of other components.

I don't think so, also HIPS does not detect anything, HIPS just warns (or block) depending on the rules were set, so the detection capabilities of the other protection modules are not affected...

What kind of risks are you exposing to your system and data? Are you interacting with malware samples on this system?

95% of protection is managed by the user, 5% is the software.

Kaspersky has a high protection level out of the box. One thing that should be disabled though is the automatic trusting of signed executables. Stolen certificates are a very real possibility nowadays.

Nah I just want it to be hardened. I dont do anything related to malware downloads and stuff, I just wanna have good protection when I get my new pc. I cant risk that getting bricked or damaged in some way.
