Ok, here is Step by Step to add Firewall Exemption of Kaspersky Internet Security(KIS) 2009.
Open the KIS 2009, Select the Protection Menu on the Left hand side and select Firewall under System Security, you will get a sub menu select Setting.
You will get a new dialog box, Firewall will be ticked Click on Settings button, you will get another, dialog box.
Select Applications from the top tabs, you will see few catagories – Trusted, Low Restricted, High Restricted, UnTrusted.
Collapse all branches and you will see a overview, Operating system, confidential data, Rights, Network.
If you press the Plus on the OS sign you will see more operations available on the operating systems.
Not this is getting complex. Yes Kaspersky is bit complex, but there is lot you can do with kaspersky, I have been using it for more than 2 years and it wall all the protection I need. You seriously don’t need any other anti malware tools.
So getting back.
Do add an application, first decide what category it should belong to. I will give you an example where I want to add a program under Trusted.
To make it complex I don’t want it to allow access the Network (I don’t want it to communicate over internet).
Click on Trusted Category, and on the bottom you will get Add, Add Group, Edit etc..
Select Add, you get a dial box asking where is the executable. I navigate to C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFreeCellFreeCell.exe
Thats the program I want to Trust but disallow Network.
Select Open and the executable will get added to the list.
Now by default you will see the program has all Green Color Ticks. This get applied because for Trusted site everything is allow.
Now I want to disable network. Just right click on the Cell where Networks and the Exe intersect and you will see the options. Select Denied to Block Network Access. Thats It.
One step forward, I want this program not modify anything on my systems.
Select Rights, Expand the + sign navigate to system modification, select the intersect and Deny.
Initially, this is bit difficult. But once you get used to it. Its nothing to It.
According to Q1 in 2009, Kaspersky, ESET NOD32 and Avira and A+ certficates for malware.
u’ve choose a good protection.
to add application on kaspersky’s firewall
open kaspersky,
under protection click firewall (on the left side)
click on configure > click Settings button
under Rule for application tab click add button and add the application you like.
after adding the application you need to set the permission for it. you can choose permission template by clicking template button or you can create your own custom permissions.
after u’ve done click ok or apply to all windows.
The one above me is handing you a load of bull. I have Kaspersky. I’ve had it for two years. The first time i installed it i had already had AVG and Avast both on my machine. I will admit AVG is a aggravating piece of crap ware to do anything with. Avast’ I have to admit i had no problem removing it. Not one time when i was installing Kaspersky did i have a problem. After the year sub ran out i reuped my sub. I had to take Kaspersky out to put Kaspersky back. It didn’t give me not one problem uninstalling. It’s all in the know how.
To answer your question. You don’t have to set the firewall no higher than training mode. The firewall will do the rest. You will get a pop up asking if you want to allow this program web access. Click yes or no. It’s that easy.
Be careful who you listen to on here. The inmates are running the asylum. To many hackers and virus writers are here now. Follow advise with caution.
Our installation of KAV 2009 on a Windows XP test machine wasn’t neat. First, KAV 2009 identified ZoneAlarm and AVG 8.0 as potential conflicts that needed to be removed–only one was currently installed on our machine. Turns out, KAV read the registry files and found an old installation of AVG 8.0 that had been removed, but not completely uninstalled (that’s why products need to be uninstalled completely). Kaspersky technical support, we were told, offers a tool–avg8.zip, which includes KLeaner.exe, that you can download from their site to remove old installations; however, installation of a security application should not be this complicated. Once we removed these, we needed to reboot and restart our installation.
Once the files were loaded, Windows XP asked us whether the Windows Firewall should block Kaspersky. Shouldn’t KAV 2009 be accepted by Windows? When we tried to register with the product code–which we copy and pasted–we were unable to do so. We kept getting a message that only manually entered numbers and Latin characters would be accepted. Kaspersky representatives said the latter scenario should not have happened, but it did. Customers who order online will get a file that you can point to during installation. Then, once the program was installed, we had to reboot.
Two reboots of the computer and 20 minutes later, we were up and running. (Note: We also experienced boot lockup problems after our installation and configuration of both KAV 2009 and in Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. We’re willing to attribute this to early code, but we sincerely hope Kaspersky makes a fix available soon.)
Should you decide to remove KAV 2009 from your system, there is an All Programs icon to Update, Modify, or Remove the program. However, after uninstalling the program, and rebooting the system, we found more than a few traces of Kaspersky within the system registry–the exact problem we experienced during the installation with residue from another antivirus product lurking within the registry. Representatives of Kaspersky blamed the Microsoft uninstaller for the residue, citing a similar problem with AVG Technologies AVG 8, but Kaspersky didn’t offer an explanation why it doesn’t provide its own uninstaller such as the one found with Check Point ZoneAlarm products.
In the Protection tab click ‘System Security’ and then click “Settings” in front of the “Application filtering”.
