OK .. How do I get KAV7 to work?

I'm looking for a new AV and Kaspersky is something I really wanna try, but every time I install the demo and restart my PC as instructed, it kills my Internet connection and some security modules won't start properly. Ever.

I've tried a complete format with a fresh XP .. No go
I've tried a complete format with a fresh XP + all updates .. No go
I've tried a complete format with a fresh XP + just SP1 .. No go
I've tried a complete format with a fresh XP + just SP2 .. No go

And now I'm not gonna bother anymore. What's the problem, anyone know?

PS: Also tried KAV6 (also on a fresh formated puter, didn't work either) ...
I haven't tried it on Vista yet because I never use it, only for testing purposes.
I did get my internet connection to work, but the modules won't load.

 

Same problem here, running XP SP2 and IE 7. Finally gave up and am currently trying (gulp) Windows Live OneCare.

 

I really can't say that I'm glad that I'm not the only one having this issue, but it does make sure that it's not just my puter there's something wrong with In fact, it's the omly AV that doesn't work on my puter. Yep I tried them all in my search for a replacement, but I just can't get KAV6 or 7 to work. At all.

Now that it's officially weekend, I scanned my entire harddrive for damaged sectors, and they found none. Took 6 hours to complete and by using 2 different applications I'm quite sure my harddrive is not the problem either.

Argh!

 

What was your recent set up?
any other security programs running?

 

Dont know about KAV but KIS 7 works a dream on my computers. One XP the other is Vista.

 

Just NOD32 and Jetico.
But as I pointed out, it was installed on a freshly formated puter.
I even deleted FD-ISR (with the multiple formats) just to see if it worked, but no go. Modules wouldn't load properly.

 

Did you try updating KAV during the product setup? If not, try so.

 

Why are you looking for a new AV anyway?

 

Try updating.
That's the most common thing.

 

It's Jetico, I bet. Or other security software.

KAV wants or has to be installed 1st.

 

Did you read this thread?

 

Try uninstall with the removal tools available at the Kaspersky forum. Than reinstall the program. Run a update!!! This is very important

 

Sorry. Guess it read like a rerun, so I skimmed it. GL. Let us know.

 

But it's still getting installed on a fresh XP version, nothing else but the OS is in there.

 

This may seem obvious,but did you activate trial during install or choose option to activate later?

 

Sorry, I was very stressed at the time of posting (still am actually), but it gives me no right to attack you like that. I'm very sorry, and I really appreciate your help

Hmm.. No I didn't, it didn't ask me to..

 

it should have done during install!

 

have a look here:-

what version installer have you got?
is it kav 7.0 125?
you really should ask at the kaspersky forum

Ohh the trial code! Yeah I got that stuff covered I thought you were talking about some special activation code to enable the modules or something ...

 

I do try to avoid official forums as they wouldn't believe me in the first place.. Freshly installed XP etc. I would get banned withing 20 minutes

 

Trying out something new, or I get bored

 

I second the update during install.

KAV 7 runs like a dream here on Vista Ultimate.

i dont think Don would ban you for asking how to get kav7 to work properly on your computer.
i mean how do you know its not a driver conflict?
its worth a shot.

It can't be a driver conflict because I've tried with a completely fresh install of XP already. Many times actually..

Oh and about your ban comment, I know I wouldn't get banned here, but if I ask about this on the official forums I'm sure to be hexed or something.. I just want it to work and that's it.
