I'm sorry but I wasn't paying attention and so didn't read your question
about diagnostics in Kaspersky.
When I install software, including updates from Microsoft, I "Pause
Protection" in KIS. This disables all components, including the
firewall. While KIS is 'paused' I rely on my NAT router to act as an
(incoming) firewall.
Obviously, I wouldn't do this unless I was confident about what I was
installing and that my system was clean to begin with. If I didn't have
the router I would disable File AntiVirus and Proactive Defense. Even
with the router, if I feel an installation is going to take more than a
few minutes I disconnect my computer from my cable modem - it's a
reminder in case I forget to re-enable KIS. My modem maintains its
connection to the internet even if its connection to my computer is
turned off.
And my OS is XP. Does that...<avoids eye contact>...matter?
