Kaspersky Free

[Nishant]

Kaspersky Secure Connection is installed automatically with Kaspersky Internet Security 2017. When you connect to a wireless network, Kaspersky Secure Connection checks the connection and, if the network is vulnerable or dangerous, offers to establish the secure connection.

Hmm. So this is useful if one uses public WiFi.

won't VPN work on unsecured wifi hotspots?

It is their own VPN service.

this is one of the things i hate about these security apps.

after a few days of using it, i have not found any major reason to remove it. i did uninstall their vps product which also got installed along with it and added itself to the task bar. i also had to disable all browser extensions that it installed (sigh) and changed some settings. two of them was related to injecting itself in web pages (secure and insecure) to show safety of links which i assume was aimed at search result pages. so it does require some initial work. to keep it out of the way.

honestly. any security product that tries to inject itself in secure pages by asking you to install their own certificate should be avoided.
