Can someone help with this one.
I cannot access www.bmw.co.uk from my main computer, it times out. I can however get on the site from my backup machine.
I have narrowed it down to my Kaspersky Internet Security, when I disable protection I can get on BMW.
If I just disable the firewall then I still cannot access BMW.
I cannot see what is stopping it on Kaspersky, anyone help?

I'm using KIS 2011, version 11.0.2.556 and can get in OK with IE8.
Do you have anti-banner active in Protection Centre / Online Security?Dave. :wave:0 -

I am running KIS 2010 and IE8, free from Barclays.
Is there a list of websites that KIS thinks are bad and will stop access, although if that was the case rather than timing out there would be a pop up from Kaspersky.
Any other clues?0 -
can u try using another browser perhaps ?BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON? OR THE MORNING? OH, FORGET THIS MALARKEY!

Yes already tried Firefox as well as IE8, same result.free4440273 wrote: »can u try using another browser perhaps ?0 -
I got mine from Barclays too.
You can upgrade to KIS 2011 for free you know.
It does say you can install over the top, but my preference would be to completely uninstall it with the Kaspersky removal tool and then install KIS 2011.Dave. :wave:0 -

Your link does not work either.

I have just renewed the licence on KIS 2010, if I delete and install 2011 will the same licence key work.
Also It is installed on wife's laptop, could I have 2011 on my desktop and leave 2010 on laptop.
PS not being able to access BMW is perhaps saving me money;).
Edit, sorry just clicked on phantom's link and the answer to my licence question was there.0 -

Glad it's sorted, but couldn't say why it was getting blocked. :think:Dave. :wave:0
