For the Wicar web tests, Kaspersky had no trouble detecting this malware and preventing us from viewing the page, after we ignored Safari’s own built-in warnings. It also added a lion’s roar each time it did it, which was a fun touch. As soon as we tried to run it, however, (and sometimes before) Kaspersky detected the malware immediately and quarantined the relevant files. Kaspersky didn’t prevent us from downloading the malware or from unzipping it.

Soon I will post a new guide with a different approach modifying default rules of Low Restriction group to harden it, and other additional tweaks.Kaspersky’s Safari extension helps protect you from online threats.įor our in-house spot tests, we downloaded content from the Objective See malware library. It's interesting Your approach in Auto Mode + FireWall settings (Default Deny), not so common indeed but I use Interactive Mode (I like warnings) + similar tweaks in Application Control + Protected Folders (implemented via Application Folder -> Manage Resources). * TAM has been removed in upcoming K2021. I never perform Full Scans, only shcduled Quick Scan adding some specific risky system folders in the Scope. * In Quick Scan -> Advanced Settings: I would tick: Scan Archives + Installation Packages. * Performance I would disable Scan Idle Scans. * The same goes to WebAV -> Security Level to High will slowdown surfing probably in medium or complex sites. * In FileAV, I would keep still Light in Heuristic Analysis (default), since Deep Scan will slowdown the system, and also the Scan Mode -> On Access and Modification ( -> Smart Mode)

I share many of Your tweaks, but here are some of my suggestions:
