Kaspersky prevents internet connectivity???

After deciding to part company with Norton antivirus 2002, I was able to
uninstall it using add remove programs without incident.

Before uninstalling I chose my next antivirus program: Kaspersky.

After the installing NAV, I disconnected the cat 5 cable from my modem
(Roadrunner cable). I then installed Kaspersky, rebooted and
reconnected the Internet cable. I had no connectivity.

A few boots later, I called my ISP, Road Runner, and attempted in many
ways to get a DNS address -- always unsuccessfully.

I finally uninstalled Kaspersky and suddenly I had connectivity again.
Not believing this was really possible, I tried it again only to have
the same thing occur.

Has anyone ever heard of Kaspersky interfering with Internet
connectivity and the acquisition of a DNS?

BTW, I'm now running a trial version of F-Secure Antivirus and it seems
to be going fine.

Kaspersky has network attack protection that is basically a firewall which
you can disable if you use a different firewall. What you could do is leave
your modem connected and enable Windows firewall if you are running WinXP
and then during the install of KAV there is an option to disable the network
attacks by un checking use recommended options then it will take you to
where you can disable it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for explaining this.

It would have been really nice if that had been prominently displayed
somewhere. It would have saved me and Road Runner a lot of grief.

What do you think of F-Secure Anti-Virus? I'm running Sygate firewall.

Check TCP/IP settings for your connection, Advanced Button, navigate to
Options tab, TCP/IP filtering Properties. If Enable is checked, first
set all buttons to Permit All, then uncheck the Enable button.

Thanks for the replies. I did indeed find the tcp/ip connections all
wrong and couldn't fix them - they kept going to the Windows default
which wouldn't work. I've uninstalled Kaspersky. I don't want
something that causes that much trouble.

If you cannot set "Permit All", then you should consider re-installing
the OS, having XP SP2 available on CD. Kaspersky is not the problem.

Even if you have only a single PC connected to internet, buy a NAT
router with firewall. Your problems will likely disappear.

KAV has one of the best detection engines out there when it come to Trojans.
I have had a lot of problems with other AV's missing viruses and had to
return to a customer to remove them. Since I have been installing KAV on
there computers I have not had any return calls. So my fingers are crossed I
won't have a return call. They tell me that KAV has detected viruses since I
have installed it. It has been about 18 months I have been installing on
other computers.

I have a Linksys router and it was active when all the problems
occurred. It may very well be some oddity on my system but I'd rather
use a different AV than reinstall windows and all the many utilities,
settings etc. that I've configured over two years.

I defrag, clean the registry (JV16) and generally take the time to
maintain the system.

What I am shocked about is how much faster the whole system is without
Norton.

How much more of a risk am I taking by using Avast rather than
Kaspersky?

Well norton uses alot of system memory to perform it's many functions.

I personally recommend Avast! Anti-virus. It's totaly free and comes with
all the functionality of a paid anti-virus. Also it's detection
capabilities are great. It comes with free, lifetime, full updates.

I'm using Avast now. I'm using a trial version of the Pro version
because I want script blocking for the occasional times I use IE. I
have all MS firewall stuff turned off and would rather keep it that way.

I agree, sofar, Avast is awesome and has almost no impact upon the speed
of my machine.
