Kaspersky web site down?

[lookit77]

I am unable to access the web site. I get a little paranoid, when I can not access my security software. I always wonder if it a function of the Internet or an infected PC. Is it just me or is this a problem with http://www.kaspersky.com/ ?

Welcome to the forums lookit77 🙂 I can access Kaspersky.com fine. Check your HOSTS file, which is in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc folder (open it with Notepad) and ensure that the only record is 127.0.0.1 localhost (that's the stock Windows HOSTS file). Malware sometimes adds security vendors' websites and update sites to the HOSTS file to keep your computer from reaching them.

If your HOSTS file looks ok, maybe it's just DNS problems somewhere between you and them. Try http://81.176.69.89/ which is their site's IP address, and see if that comes up OK.

Same thing for me... I'm timing out on both DNS as well as the IP.

I can access the kaspersky site. It was a little slow to load but it did load.

Still unable to access the site using either method. I am able to update KIS.

I've been getting THIS since last Friday (8/30) whenever AVS tries to update.

Anyone else seeing this?

Hi KGBMAN

It might have something to do with AOL switching AVS suppliers. I would add an additional download source. My KIS 7 is updating from

Update source is selected http://dnl-us7.kaspersky-labs.com/

Good luck.
