One thing to be sure is enabled is the option to "Detect other software that can be used by criminals. Settings are highly configurable, but in general can be left in the default option by those who wish to keep things simple.
The home page is a bit cluttered with a few non-functional icons that only remind you of features that only come with the paid version (such as Safe Money, Privacy Protection and Parental Controls) and as such represent the only ads that come with KF. Immediately upon finishing the instillation, KF automatically ran a Rootkit Scan which took 10 minutes. 2 Kaspersky plugins in your browser(s), which can be disabled 2 Programs (KF and Secure Connection), with icons for both in your notification tray The Secure Connection isn’t operated by Kaspersky itself it’s a licensed gateway to the popular Hotspot Shield VPN, but is an opt-in option that most would find useful. No pre-checked bundled software, default browser or homepage are added. It suggests by its format that this is necessary, but you can in fact ignore it, and back out of that page to complete the installation.
