Hi,
I did setup CubeMX latest(6.13) and previous version , Kaspersky have seen virus and I ignored it. After that I got some malfunction on my pc like internet connection disabled, windows bar doesnt work.

This should not be surprising. This is how many "security" ass-coverage-wares work these days. They check so called "reputation services" in cloud. Yesterday that reputation service did not know about CubeIDE, today it already knows that it is not evil. Or kaspersky found and deleted an obsolete version of log4j; today it does not see it anymore and is happy.

This problem description is not actionable. Try to find an IT person to understand what happened and help.

Make backups of all valuable files from this machine.

Kaspersky identified it as what virus? Did you submit to them for review/confirmation? What was their response?

I think ST scans for these things on it's machines and packages prior to dispatch. AV sw generally tends to have a lot of false positives. Any other tools identify it as an issue? Any other tools checked the machine for viruses, malware, etc?

In the company we don't play with the security and safety we have CubeMx 6.13 installed in our machines as well as an antivirus and we don't have any issue. It's the last thing to think about.

Yes, that would be my thought, a layered and very hostile environment from which to be a source.

Not impossible, but highly improbable..

And if there were there'd be a lot of reporting

 layered and very hostile environment

A great definition of Windows garnished with mandatory corporate ass-coverage-ware. Bravo.

Now I stopped kaspersky to be able to use the program. Also I checked the other questions, like I am not an only person.  Now I am using without kaspersky. I didnt check with other programs because just kaspersky cache mostly viruses. Whatever I will report what the antivirus program says when I finish my work and rerun the program.

Restart the protection and despite doing the same things kaspersky didnt give me any warning, it is awkward.
