The kaspersky is of no value to you, its a windows app and is not appropriate for how Ubuntu works. These is an inbuild firewall in the OS alreadya dn you only need antivirus if you are running a mail server or a file server with Windows clients.

Who is your email provider and I may be able to find guides on configuring the client.
