ADDING CERTIFICATES MANUALLY

Question

Hello

I am trying to add the Kaspersky root certificate to the Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird certificate storage. When I press export it asks me to specify the file name I want to export in the wizzard. What do I put as the file name. I have asked various websites and I have been instructed to contact Microsoft.

Can anyone please help me? I am a bit of a thicko wen it comes to things like this and the file name I thought would be obvious doesn't work.

Thank You

Hi Julie. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

The certificate should be added when Kaspersky is installed. If not see how here:

If you are in an organization that requires use of Kaspersky then I would consult your IT desk.

If this is your personal PC, I would NOT install Kaspersky or any 3rd party antivirus as this is the source of chronic problems in Windows. Instead I would use built-in Defender which gives adequate protection, best Windows performance, least issues, and is from Microsoft who knows how to protect their OS best.

If you want the best on-demand scanner install and run Malwarebytes free scanner. https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/. You can turn off the free trial in Account Settings to keep it only as a free scanner.

I hope it helps. Feel free to ask any questions.
