Kaspersky is blocking python from accessing the internet

[Galdor]

Hi,
I have the latest version of kaspersky anti virus installed (no other product, vpn, cloud, etc), everything was working fine but suddently it started blocking a lot more thing (without changing the configuration), I've been using kaspersky anti virus for more than 10 years and never had this issue.

I cannot make requests call (requests librairy) they will be blocked by kaspersky, my only solution for know is to disable kaspersky.

I can't find in the setting what to change.

in network parameters > trusted app I tried adding python but my requests calls are still blocked.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hello @Galdor, 

Welcome!

1. Which Kaspersky Anti-Virus version & patch(x), x = letter, on the Windows taskbar or hidden icons, rightclick the Kaspersky icon, select About? 
2. Which Windows version & build, read: How to find the version of your operating system?
3. Which Python version? 
4. In Kaspersky Reports - are there any Python events - showing the BLOCK - post FULL SCREEN screen-prints - so we can see what you see? 
5. When PYTHON is blocked - is there an error, post a FULL SCREEN screen-print - we need to see what you see?

Also, try this solution from @Igor Kurzin:

1. Make sure Windows Hidden files, is checked/ticked, refer: View hidden files and folders in Windows
2. Open Kaspersky app, select Settings⚙, select General, uncheck Enable Self-Defense, select Save, select Yes - to confirm the action.
3. Exit Kaspersky app - on the Windows taskbar or hidden icons, rightclick the Kaspersky icon, select Exit.
4. Go to folder C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP21.3\Report\ and delete the contents = all files and folders.
5. Start Kaspersky app.
6. Enable Self-Defense.
7. Shutdown the computer, using Shutdown, not Restart, power on, login.
8. Re-check the issue?

Please share the outcome with the Community?

deleting the content of C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP21.3\Report\  and following your whole process solved the problem.

For my own curiosity might I know why? was python somehow "taggued" as a threat an removing those file deleted that tag?

thanks a lot ?

ps : I was using 

kaspersky 21.3.10.391(i)
Windows 10 22H2 (OS build 19045.2728)
python 3.8 / requests 2.28.1

Hi,

I tried to delete the contents of this folder but I could not. It said that the folder or file is open in another program. I have restarted my PC and have disabled Kaspersky in the task manager, but there it still won't delete. I saw there are some Kaspersky background processes so I ended the two that I could end, but I could not end "Kaspersky Lab Launcher (32 bit)" and it says "Access is denied." (see screenshot).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @KingOfSpice, 

Welcome!

1. Which Kaspersky software is installed - name & version, in Windows *Hidden icons* - right-click the Kaspersky icon & select About? 
2. Has Enable Self-Defense been *UNCHECKED*?  (Point 2 in the instructions above - from Igor Kurzin).

Thank you🙏
