Does KIS block Windows 10 service SMB!?

[stanhilliard]

I'm using KIS on Windows 10, does it interfere with Windows service SMB1? I am aware that SMB1 is vulnerable to WannaCry ransomware attacks. But I also need SMB1 on Windows 10 to access files on a Windows 98 PC. I wonder if KIS blocks SMB1 to prevent the virus? If so, I am looking for a workaround for accessing files on my Windows 98 PC.

Hello @stanhilliard, 

Welcome! 

1. Which Kaspersky Internet Security version do you have → on Windows Taskbar, rightclick the Kaspersky icon, select About ?  
2. In KIS Reports, are there any SMB1 related errors? 
3. What happens when SMB1 is used to access the files? 
4. Post images of any errors please?

Thank you🙏

I have a thread discussing the problem on windows ten forums here:

I will do more research and post back tomorrow as there is much that I don’t understand.
