<p>And even worse, .NET 5 is not supported anymore although Kaspersky 21.5/21.6/21.7 is still based on it. I don't understand that at all. Please switch to .NET 6 as soon as possible. It doesn't make sense testing software which is based on outdated components.</p>

<p>Install .NET Runtime 5.0.17. This version contains security fixes</p>

<p>Ya, but from last month. .NET 5 has reached its support cycle last month. Watch this: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/5.0</p>

<p>Yes, it is, but in this case there is no other way out.</p>

[Helios]

<p>Yep, I know. And therefore I hope KL will switch to .NET 6 as soon as anyhow possible.</p>

<p>But that will be in the next version (22.x), not before. I don't think developers will rewrite (edit) the application's GUI code.</p>

<p>Well, then let's hope that will happen soon. For the time being, I'm using KL 21.3 'cause there is no other adequate option available.</p>

<p>Well, not only 21.6, but also 21.5 and 21.7 (see posts above). .NET 5.0.17 was the last supported version by Microsoft and got ceased last month. From now on, only .NET 6, which is a LTS version, is supported (and .NET 7 preview of course) by Microsoft. You can use 21.3 which is based on .NET 4.8 that is also a LTS version... as I do. There are no other options right now.</p>

<p>Install Windows desktop-runtime-5.0.17-win-x86. This version is the latest version of .NET Desktop Runtime 5.0 which contains security fixes.</p>

<p>Do not mislead users.</p>
<p>The <strong>.NET Desktop Runtime</strong> is a runtime that allows you to create a Metro-style user interface. .NET Desktop Runtime 5.0.10 or later (latest NET Desktop Runtime 5.0, version 5.0.17) is required to run and use the Kaspersky 21.4–21.7 GUI.</p>
<p>The<strong> Microsoft .NET Framework</strong> is a runtime that allows you to create applications whose modules are written in different programming languages. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher is required to run and use Kaspersky Lab products.</p>
<p>Kaspersky Lab applications 21.3 and earlier use only the Microsoft .NET Framework to launch and operate. Kaspersky Lab applications 21.4-21.7 use the Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Desktop Runtime to launch and operate.</p>

<p>I do know that. For the sake of simplicity, I always call all of them .NET and it has absolutely nothing to do regarding the security of Kaspersky 21.4 and higher. .NET 5 is a core component for Kaspersky and mustn't be based on an outdated software package. It's a waste of time and resources and it makes absolutely no sense to me doing that. Kaspersky is a globally well-known and prestigious security solution and in my opinion it's anyway a must developing security software based on supported software components.</p>

<p>Hi folks</p>
<p></p>
<p>As you probably know Microsoft has banned downloading certain contents from their websites from Russia.</p>

<p>How is this affecting the development and quality of Kaspersky products? Does it?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thx</p>

<p>Hi my friends</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've been just tripped over the following article written by Martin Brinkmann from ghacks.net.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's uttermost scary to me to read what Adobe Reader is able to do and being doing with many security solutions including Kaspersky. How is it possible to evade them? It's described to a certain extent, but even more important and essential, can it be fixed in general?</p>
<p></p>
<p>"<em>Security tools inject DLLs, Dynamic Link Libraries, into applications that are launched on the system, which is necessary to gain access. The blocking prevents the injection from taking place."</em></p>
<p><em></em></p>
<p>Here is the whole article:<em></em></p>
<p><a href="https://www.ghacks.net/2022/06/22/report-adobe-reader-is-blocking-antivirus-tools-from-scanning-loaded-pdf-documents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Report: Adobe Reader is blocking antivirus tools from scanning loaded PDF documents</a></p>
