Problem Kaspersky prevents external connections

[Jockie]

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I switched from a Norton trial to KIS 2013, because I still had Kaspersky with a license on my old PC (got a new laptop recently).
Frankly this wasn't a smart move though.. After moving to Kaspersky, it became impossible for my friends to join my home-hosted server which is on this laptop.
On this forum some questions were thrown about Exception errors of Java, because Java wasn't added to the trusted zone.
In this case, even when the exception rules has been modified to its needs, Kaspersky still blocks the incoming connections.

I've done the following steps, yet it fails:
Added Javaw to the trusted zone. (32 and 64-bit)
Added Java Web Start Launcher to the trusted zone.
Added FTB_Launcher.exe to the trusted zone.(This was only needed for fixing the exception error)
Added serverstart.bat to the trusted zone. (Not even needed Imo)
Excepted The FTB Folder (which has the Client and Server inside)Added Port 25565 TCP (in and outcoming) to the packet rules in Kaspersky's Firewall.
A little note, Localhost connection works flawlessly and the server worked fine when I had Norton.

Anyway, I was wondering, does anyone know the solution for this issue?

Grtz,
Jockie

Stop using Kaspersky would be the obvious answer. If your using a version Windows, there is zero problems with Microsoft Security Essentials: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download

You told us the problem started with Kaspersky, thats like telling the doctor that your hand hurts when you slam it in a door, he will tell you to stop slamming your hand in the door.

The reason why I'm using Kaspersky is because I bought it a few months ago and wasn't into server hosting that much.
If I do switch to Microsoft SE, it would be just a waste of the license.
The reason why I chose Kaspersky is because it's reliable for me and less CPU demanding than Norton which I used years ago.
Also, MS SE is useless in my opinion.

Thus I rather just solve the issue w/o changing anti-virus or whatsoever.

Click computer protection > settings > firewall > settings > packet rules > any incoming * be default they are blocked. Also start the server as admin.
