ESS loses internet connection with K9 web protection

K9 is a parental website filtering software. ESS will intillay work, but I have it set to automatic mode in firewall. Upon rebooting I lose my ability to get email and/or the internet. Is there away around this and how. thank you.

 

If I click on allow all traffic, everythig works. As soon as I turn on automatic or interactive mode, email and web browsing are locked, or gone.

 

After some more testing, this is what I have. If I download the suite, it works great in automatic mode. If I reboot, then email and web browing dont work. But I can still update programs like SAS. Disable firewall and all works. So it may not have a thing to do with the title of thread. I do have my service in the trusted zone. Thank you.

 

Hmmmm, Support Forums? Can I get some please. I am having to try and figure this problem out myself. OK. I dont know how to add rules but if I can add a rule or something for K9 Protection so that the firewall doesnt look at it I think I can clear this up. Other then that, everything about this suite is great. Thank you.

 

Thank you sir. That is what I will do. Really ,this suite has the potential to blow them all out of the water. Marcos, peace, you done good.

 

Well Eset and K9 dont mix, just yet. I did as you instructed Ronjor and after deleting K9 and reinstalling the Suite, all is well. Even after rebooting 3 times just to see. So now in interactive mode I am going to reinstall K9 and see what happens. K9 is one of the best parental control programs and it is free. It also has some antispyware stuff in it and that is what I think doesnt mesh with the suite. But hey, you got me this far and thanks for the great support. Will keep you informed.

 

Where's the eye? I don't see the eye.

 

Sorry Ronjor. The interactive box for K9 did popup and I clicked to always allow. Then rebooted and everything went weird. No internet service, and in my processes ERKN.EXE kept running at 100 percent of CPU usage. My mouse would barely move. Finally clicked on allow all traffic and everything was fine but not the setting I would want with the firewall. K9 has to stay for protection for the kids, so will just wait until Eset can work this out. I do appreciate your help and response.

 

yes it is in default. It is the firewall because allow all traffic and everything works fine. No problem, that is what beta is all about. Heck, allowing the firewall still gives me the AV 3.0.

 

well this I know, it all worked when the suite first came out, but they have tightened down on some stuff, so,,,,,I am hoping they will figure it out.

 

what do you mean - there has been some component update?? Haven't seen any- only virusdatabase

@ tosbsas

The new ESS/NOD32 v3 allows ESET to directly made bigger(more important) updated/upgrades to the product , not only signature update .

Since the first BETA appeared , thanks to this they have added/fixed some things (e.g. Added Remote Desktop allow , for the trusted zone)

 

ok, thats interesting, but I had set the settings to ask me in case of component updates - thats why I asked

I have the same problems, running ESS under Vista. When I installed K9 ESS went all crazy, CPU up to 100%, mouse doesn't move. Even with automatic firewall mode. K9.exe also isn't listed in the overview of network traffic.

 

I have ESS and K9 running on a Vista Machine
here and they get along fine. K9 was here first
with 30 day trial version of NOD 32 2.7 and the
latest Beta of Look n Stop. I uninstalled the 2.7
and LnS and installed ESS. I've flippped back
and forth between Automatic and Interactive
on the firewall several times playing with it.
I use Thunderbird as an email client and have
K9 configured to work with it. I do use it's
blacklist feature. I do have it set to " use a
DNS blackhole list to help identify spam"
Other than that, it is all default settings.

I just remember something. Apart from the "almost freezes" of the computer, something else happened. My screen turned black for a few seconds and then the image came back and Vista said something about an issue with the graphics adapter which had to be reinitialized (cannot remember the exact message). This only happened after I installed K9. There is no other security software that could conflict. My graphics adapter is Nvidia Geforce 7900 GS.

 

Well I just did my weekly download of the suite, and on installation in interactive mode, IT DID ask for permission for K9. So this is good and right now it is working well. My problems normally surface in the first 12 hours. I really have to admit, I am down to this suite or Kaspersky. I really love how "quiet" this one is. As far as Kaspersky, I love its detection, and just dont add web browsing on install and use Sandboxie. Slow surfing is gone. But ESS really has exactly what a person needs without all the crap added. So I am wishing them well as things are getting better. When you see my final avatar,"not that you give a crap", I will wear as proudly as C.S.J. does with his. Nice to see things moving smoothly Marcos. Geez, I bet your hair is grey.

 

trjam, what do you mean by "weekly download" - is the ESS installation file updated constantly? Or how is it possible that it works right now?

I do prefer ESS over KIS as well, ESS is much lighter and much more trimmed to real security needs (and not just putting as many features in there as possible).

 

they can tweak it as they go along.

 

this morning everything is fine. It performed its scheduled scan overnight. Switched firewall to automatic.

 

I just installed ESS again with interactive mode - and it works! It asked me about access for K9 process. Very nice! It certainly did not work when I installed with automatic mode yesterday, and it wouldn't ask about K9 even if you switched to interactive later on, also turning the firewall off didn't resolve the problems.
