Update VS Code and Kaspersky certificate – Debian

I just wanted to start VS Code on Windows Subsystem Linux but VS Code updates automatically. The issue is a certificate which VS Code wants to access but it is blocked by kaspersky. Kaspersky is installed on Windows 10. I have the Total Securiy Version. Does somebody have a hint? What should I change?

    I solved this error:

    1. (Add Last Line to /etc/wgetrc) – check_certificate = off

    solved this by adding the update.code.visualstudio.com domain to the trusted list in kaspersky:

    1. open kaspersky
    2. click on the setting button (the gear at the bottom left)
    3. go to the network setting menu item
    4. add the domain to the trusted adresses

    After hours of research I came with a more secure and efficient solution:

    1. Open Control Panel, then Internet Options, go to the Content tab and click Certificates.

    2. Go to the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities tab, select the Kaspersky root certificate and click Export.

    3. Follow the instructions. Use the default settings during the certificate export. Enter the name kaspersky.cer for the file.

    4. Move the exported .cer file to a Linux folder, open the folder and run this command:

      openssl x509 -inform DER -in kaspersky.cer -out kaspersky.crt

    5. Copy the created .crt file to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/

    6. Run sudo update-ca-certificates

    Sources: this solution is a devolopment from Labradorcode’s comment above and was based on a Kaspersky tutorial and this answer.
