Says I have Kaspersky installed
« on: May 07, 2008, 12:45:03 AM »
I have uninstalled the Kasperky anti-virus software along time ago via the Control Panel> Add Remove Programs...

I went to Start>run>regedit and typed in kaspersky and nothing was returned in the search.

Help please.

See: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=12079.15
KAV removal tool: http://www.ice-kav.com/utilities.php
http://www.ice-kav.com/downloads/util/KAV_Registry_Clean.zip

Maybe, just delete KLIF.sys file.

According to which Kaspersky product you were using (http://www.ice-kav.com/tools.php):
KAV 5.x removal utility: KAV_Registry_Clean.zip
KAV 4.5x removal utilty: KAV_Rem.zip   
AntiHacker removal utilty: KAH_Rem.zip


Please do NOT use Kaspersky anti-hacker together with Avast!
It seems that Kaspersky writes something in the registry that is picked up by Avast! that makes Avast! think there's another AV program installed.
Allthough this is not the case (KAH is a firewall, not an anti-virus prog) Avast! will nag you about this.
