After you create a restore point, make sure you have a 20-digit activation code for your Kaspersky application. You will need to enter it after you reinstall the application.

The code contains Latin letters and numerals divided into four groups of 5 characters.

If you bought the product offline in a box, you will see the activation code on the Quick Start Quide you find in the box.

If you bought the product online, the activation code will be in the e-mail from the online store.

If you lost the activation code, restore it. See this article for instructions.

1. Download the kavremvr.exe file.
2. Run the file.
3. Carefully read through the End User License Agreement. Click Accept if you agree to its terms.

4. Type the code from the image.
5. Select the application you want to remove.
6. Click Delete.

7. Wait until you get the notification on successful removal of the application and click ОК.

8. Restart the computer.

The Kaspersky application will be completely removed from your computer. If there are several Kaspersky applications installed on your computer, remove them one by one.

Try installing the Kaspersky application once again.
