User reviews

Kaspersky Protection 18.0 is praised for its strong malware protection and making users feel secure online, especially when combined with Kaspersky antivirus. However, many users report functionality issues such as the extension becoming disabled, losing important safety indicators, failing to block ads and unsafe sites, and causing compatibility problems with Chrome. The extension's automatic installation and difficulty in managing it also frustrate users. Overall, while the security features are valued, reliability and usability concerns are common.

Pros

Provides good protection against malware and unauthorized downloads when used with Kaspersky antivirus.
Helps users feel safe while browsing, offering privacy and security especially during online transactions.
Generally efficient and professional in its security features.
Easy to use and fast in performance according to some reviews.

Cons

Frequently stops working or becomes disabled (icon turns grey) without clear explanation, leading to inoperability.
Fails to display site safety indicators (green, yellow, red icons) and does not block unsafe websites as expected.
No longer blocks YouTube ads, which was previously a feature appreciated by users.
Compatibility issues with Chrome browser causing errors and even computer restarts are reported.
Difficult to find or uninstall as it installs automatically with antivirus and is not easily searchable in Chrome Web Store.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Kaspersky Protection 18.0 requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
