Kaspersky Anti-Virus is one of the most famous and widespread anti-virus applications. However, not all users like it. After installing and testing the trial version, the user may want to uninstall it.
Instructions
Step 1
The program from Kaspersky Lab does its job well enough. Despite this, many users, having tried the free test version, try to get rid of it as soon as possible - this antivirus sometimes behaves very intrusively, constantly reminding about itself.
Step 2
In order to remove an antivirus program, you must first disable it. This is done very simply - find the Kaspersky Anti-Virus icon in the tray, click it with the mouse and select the "Exit" option. The program will be stopped, now you can easily remove it from your computer.
Step 3
How to remove Kaspersky Anti-Virus? This can be done in three main ways: firstly, through the uninstall line in the Kaspersky menu in the list of programs - "Start" - "All Programs" - "Kaspersky Anti-Virus" - "Remove Kaspersky Anti-Virus". Secondly, through the standard Windows service for installing and removing programs: "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Add or Remove Programs". Finally, it can be removed using third party utilities.
Step 4
It is the use of third-party utilities that is the most reliable way to remove. Use the Uninstall Tool to remove Kaspersky Anti-Virus from your computer. Its main feature is that it is able not only to uninstall the program itself, but also to clean your computer of all traces of its presence. This is a very useful feature, as unnecessary registry entries slow down computer startup and can lead to crashes.
Step 5
The Uninstall Tool can be found on the Internet. Download it, install it and run it. Find Kaspersky Anti-Virus in the list of programs, click "Remove the selected program" in the left column of the program. The program will be removed, but do not miss the moment when a window appears with a proposal to remove all traces of the program from the computer. Before agreeing to the deletion, do not forget to check the box so that from now on this procedure is performed automatically.
