AVP Tool (Kaspersky) - How do I uninstall?

I must say, I was very excited to see this AVP Tool standalone program and I am pleased with the way it functioned. However, I cannot get it off of my computer as it seems worse than any virus I have ever dealt with.

Uninstall failed:
- unins000.exe file within Kaspersky Lab Tool folder does nothing.

Removed startup from registry:
- removed setup_7.0.0.180_07.03.2008_07-18.exe from Run section.

Disabled service:
- disabled the setup_7.0.0.180_07.03.2008_07-18.exe service.

Removed service from registry:
- removed setup_7.0.0.180_07.03.2008_07-18.exe service from registry.

Failed attempt to delete Kaspersky Lab Tool folder:
- error with deleting advdis.ppl (Access denied)

Checked for hidden device drivers in Device Manager:
- nothing relating to Kaspsersky.

Unlocker attempt to delete:
- Unlocker was unable to delete any of those files (even the delete upon reboot option).

There are no processes running that relate to Kaspersky. I have no idea how to remove this as I have tried all options. If anybody that has experienced this problem with AVP Tool and found a solution, please let me know.

Thanks,
Dave

 

Check this thread; may be a help.

 

Thank you for the link Blackcat. That did the trick. For me, it was as simple as disabling the self defence option. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how it can "self defend" itself when none of the program processes were running... but either way, this worked and I will continue to use the program from time to time now that I know how to remove it. I don't know why they would have made it so difficult.

 

or maybe learn your lesson and use one that doesnt require an installation, such as Drwebs Cureit.

 

You're right, I was not pleased to see that it required installation or the fact that it was set to startup when Windows boots and had a service installed. I was hoping that it would simply extract temporarily to a folder during use, then remove the temporary folder upon exiting the program.

I'm not very familiar with Dr. Web so maybe I will give it a try. I'll have to check out some test results too.

 

Kernel drivers They don't appear in the list of running processes.

 

or Learn to have no faith in the AV/AS scanners
and
start using Virtualization, HIPS, and Behavioral Blocking
for your Security!

 

sure, that is an option.

i do use Prevx, but its mainly for knowing what each software is trying to do.

im old-school, and could easily be a happy chappy just using an antivirus alone, infact... this has been my main option since ive been using the internet.

 

I am new-school Chris.
I prefer ThreatFire's custom rules over PREVX,
but I understand your love for this (U.K. made) product.

To be back on the subject, I definitely prefer Dr.Web CureIt!
over the Kaspersky AVP Tool, which takes much more time to
Scan and leaves Leftovers after uninstalling it.
I wonder wheather the special Kaspersky unistaller
removes all the Kaspersky AVP Tool files.
Anyway, Dr.Web CureIt! remains the No.1 First-Aid solution!

 

well, *doh*

obviously
