Firewall won't allow me to go online, Dommys a Dummy Options

[Dommy]

Hi,

I have been using KIS 6 & 7 I have a problem with the Firewall, it won't let
me access the internet through Internet Explorer and my Yahoo email,
I have to use 'Allow all' any higher Firewall setting and it won't work,
I have to use windows Firewall instead but I would like to use KIS's Firewall,
I don't use both Firewalls at the same time.

I am using Windows XP

please help Dommy thanks

Try to reset KIS to default settings.

Settings>reset>check all boxes of proactive and firewall and follow the wizard

Hi Jammy, no it isn't a setup I can't go online unless I have the settings set to
'Allow all' which I am using at the moment with the windows Firewall set to 'on'
as I said'

Hi EPR35,

Thank you, I did what you suggested and Internet explorer works now,
but I still can't get onto my Yahoo email.
Its a real puzzle I have tried all sorts of things, any more suggestions
would be great.

I am not a mod but I suggest you please not to write these sort of things. He already mentioned about using windows firewall. Plus the case could've also been that the trouble was in a different PC. You can't judge what's a setup without evidence. The mods will decide that. There is no need to discourage people requiring genuine help.

Hi Tareq,

Thank you, too true; guess he thinks he is cleaver.
Never mind.

Check if you have set correctly
Settings>traffic monitoring>do not check encrypted connections

[EPR35]

Be sure also to keep parental control disabled

Settings>parental control>disable

[Dommy]

Check if you have set correctly
Settings>traffic monitoring>do not check encrypted connections

Hi EPR35,

I have gone to >traffic monitoring and >do not check encrypted connections-
the radio button is selected in this already.

I don't know why but I am back to square one as Internet Explorer stopped
working as well as yahoo mail so I had to go back to using Windows Firewall
and allow all in the KIS Firewall.
It is so frustrating but thank you for all your help, I don't know what to do.

Uninstall completely, reboot and reinstall, when you reinstall you select basicmode and pay attension to any warning/popup from the proactive defense most will have to be added to the trustedzone which you can do in the popup, remember also to uncheck "Do not check encrypted connections" in the settings again.

Hi Don Pelotas,

Thank you for your help, I really don't wan't to uninstall and reinstall as I have only
recently downloaded and installed KIS 7 , but I did uncheck :
"Do not check encrypted connections"
this didn't work and when I use proactive defense it only makes things worse
so I havn't got that checked either, I am so fed up with Kaspersky I will not
renue it next year again unless I can get it sorted out, I have spent so much
time checking and unchecking different things now, that I am about to give up.

thanks again

Well, sometimes what we don't want to do is exactly what we need to do and i'm giving you the steps that will at least eliminate one possibility. Your choice of course, but i usually do not make users do things unless i think it's worth it, so please do it.
