If you install such a certificate you make you browser vulnerable. Wouldn't be the first time if error is found in an antivirus package enabling remote code execution. And you are giving away one key to your private kingdom to a third party by enabling it to read and also log encrypted data. My privacy concerns are greater than my feras for viruses in this case and I would just turn off any such function.

Now I need the answer againg.

Thanks in advance.

This does not work for KTS 18. The folder of Kasperky
AntiVirus/Data does not exist.

Since no one seems to know where the Kaspersky Total Security 18
certificate is it looks like I have to say goodbye to Seamonkey.

FWIW, the page linked by Lemuel Johnson contains only three instances of the word "data," none of them in the phrase "Kasperky AntiVirus/Data." So I never understood why you were looking for that.

It does say:

When Kaspersky self-updates it doesn't reinstall its security
certificate.

In SeaMonkey Preferences please go to Privacy & Security ->
Certificates -> Manage Certificates. Click the Authorities tab.

There import (this is my Win 7 path, your path may be different):
C:\Program Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP17.0.0\Data\Cert\(fake)Kaspersky
Anti-Virus Personal Root Certificate.cer

Did you actually read that page and follow the instructions?

None of the above constitutes an endorsement of KAV; I have no personal knowledge of or experience with it. I just think it's strange you're blaming SM for this.
