Upon starting the installation process, Kaspersky Total Security 2018 scans your computer for incompatible software. We recommend removing all incompatible software. If the installation wizard detects an antivirus application that you have already removed, skip this step.
If you use Kaspersky Total Security 2018 alongside incompatible applications, the applications may not work properly and and operating system errors may occur.
The 2018 application versions can be installed on top of versions 2009–2017, retaining the settings and license information. You therefore don’t need to remove previous versions.
How to remove incompatible software during installation
- In the “Incompatible software detected” window of the installation wizard:
- To manually remove applications that cannot be removed automatically, click Remove manually. After you have manually removed the incompatible software, click the Update icon, and then remove the remaining applications.
- Select the check boxes beside applications that can be removed automatically, and click Remove selected.
- Kaspersky Total Security 2018 will remove incompatible applications. If for some reason an application was not removed, remove it manually. If you were unable to remove the application using the standard Windows tools, download a removal utility.
- Click Restart the computer.
- After rebooting the system, the installation of Kaspersky Total Security 2018 will continue automatically.
