Hi Mike,
Since Kaspersky blocks all the VB scripts, I think you need to check the exceptions settings of Kaspersky.
Regarding the exceptions, I would like to share the following with you for your reference:
Firewall Exceptions for System Center Essentials 2010

Considering this issue is also related to Kaspersky, it is also recommended that you contact Kaspersky Support for help on checking the settings and
configurations:
