Smile Solved: Kaspersky Blocks Software Downloading??
My laptop runs Vista Home Basic and has Kapspersky Internet Security 7.0 installed on it. My problem is when I tried to download a software online, my browser (Firefox) told that the download was blocked by my Security Zone Policy. So I tried to played around my system's firewall and security settings, and Kapersky's settings, but I still couldn't find the solution. Does anyone know why this happens? Thanks.

ps: i've been using Kaspersky for more than 2 years but I have not never gotten this problem before.

What were you trying to download ?
