KIS removal question

I have heard that KAV leaves behind object ID's as part of its Iswift scanning, even after uninstall. Is there any issue of uninstalling KIS and just leaving the object ID's alone? I am wanting to give Avira's suite a try and don't want any conflicts happening.

Then again, is removing the object ID's much of a task? Is there a tool for this? Will the tool at the link below remove them safely?

thanks

 

No

Should not be a problem

No, but it may take time

No, you have to use the fsutil utility that's part of the OS

No, see here for command line invocation of fsutil.

if you are running vista you do need to make sure you have control over the user account and have admin full priveledges.. otherwise almost all the files will be denied access. just so you know

 

thanks for the help

 

Just out of curiosity will that removal tool work on the old Kaspersky Personal Suite as well.

 

it should but remeber it does not remove object id's or "streams"

 

There is an earlier tool for that as well
What version is it exactly?

 

I think it is called Kapersky Personal Security Suite 5. If I am not mistaken. Thanks for your time.

For version 5.0 you can run this KAV_Registry_Clean.zip after you have uninstalled it normally.
