What kind of "protection" do you expect from this, anyway?

Unusual? Problems like this are very usual with any kind of filtering,
especially stuff like KIS that hooks into any traffic. Tor Browser
communicates with local Tor using SOCKS, and Tor wraps the HTTP(S)
request in its own protocol. Sounds like KIS messes with SOCKS in
strange ways.

Internet "protection" is hard, and is doomed to create problems like
this. Don't expect too much help here, my guess is that in this
community only very few people are interested in closed source software
that messes with traffic and offers snakeoil "protection".
