For your info PA Bear, I have disabled recently the Kaspersky Firewall by
unchecking it in the Kaspersky configuration and I enabled the Windows
Firewall when I thought Kaspersky was interfering in the installation and
operation of a Microsoft game (Flight Simulator X). I could install and use
that MS game that way, so I assumed the Kaspersky Firewall was the culprit
and kept it disabled giving the preference to the Windows Firewall, but now
I am not so sure of this assumption...
For my KB944533 previous installation attempts, I "paused the protection" of
Kaspersky through the rightclicking of its icon near the clock , assuming
the entire Kaspersky suite would be disabled. I don't know what this «pause
protection» does exactly, but I noticed today in the Kaspersky configuration
that only the header «protection» is shown as being disabled, and ALL the
remaining functions (File Antivirus, Proactive Defense, etc.) are ticked as
being active!
After reading other comments about my problem, I got confused about "who is
interfering what", so I decided to install KB944533 in this manner:
1- Disconnect my computer from my cable modem.
2- Disactivate individually all functions of Kaspersky in its configuration
panel (not by rightclicking its icon and selecting "pause protection").
3- Disable the Windows Firewall (just in case!...)
4- Install KB944533 with Windows Update.
5- Restart my computer.
6- Reactivate Kaspersky Internet Security, including its Firewall (I will
keep it enabled with the Windows Firewall disabled for later tests of
Microsoft Flt Sim X game).
7- Reconnect my computer to my cable modem.
Results: Successful installation with normal access to the Web. I am
HAPPY!
*** One thing I don't understand: How could I use Windows Update to install
that KB944533 while my computer was disconnected from my cable modem?... I
thought an Internet connexion was required to do this.
