Parallels 5 hiccups with Kapersky (or v/v?)

I was getting a problem where Boot Camp Windows 7,  accessed as a virtual machine under Parallels, failed to recognize that Parallels Internet Security (Kapersky 2009) was fully running.  It was unable to see that the Kapersky Firewall was running and only had limited visibility of the Kapersky AntiVirus.Some advice from a Parallels official was found in the article at the following link:http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=95997&highlight=securityIn that article it was advised to follow the steps below:

  1. In Virtual Machine uninstall Parallels Internet Security
    • from Add/Remove Program.
  2. Select Uninstall, Complete Uninstall.
  3. Reboot guest OS.
  4. In Virtual Machine uninstall Parallels Tools
    • from Add/Remove Program.
  5. Select Uninstall, Complete Uninstall.
  6. Reboot guest OS.
  7. Install Parallels Tools
    • from Parallels Desktop Menu – Virtual Machine -> Install Parallels Tools.
  8. Install Parallels Internet Security
    • from Parallels Desktop Menu – Virtual Machine -> Install Parallels Internet Security.
  9. Reboot guest OS.

However when I followed this exactly it resulted in no difference.
