Most probably... Try downloading it again. Do you use dial-up? Do you use any download manager?

Oh, are you infected or your system is clean?

But kasperski is 100% uninstalled
I recomend you use a good Registry Cleaner.
If you search this board or click on 'Links' in my signature, you can find some of them.
Isn't there any uninstaller tool from Kaspersky to download and run?

Run this utility to remove all traces of Kaspersky from the registry:

ICE is a US distributor for Kaspersky.
