How can I remove Kaspersky and start using free PC protection programs?
Question by Cass: How can I remove Kaspersky and start using free PC protection programs?
I’ve used Kaspersky IT for a year now, but I’d rather not keep paying for renewal anymore and just use free programs like AVG, zonealarm, SS&D, etc..
What’s the best way for me to remove Kaspersky from my computer?

Kaspersky takes the adware approach to business. They make it hard to get it off your computer so that people tend to just pay the subscription rather than try something else. You know, kind of like the pop-ups that tell you that you have viruses and you can’t get rid of the pop-up unless you buy their program? Yeah, that’s how they operate their business. You have to do some work searching for how to remove the program, which turns out to be a removal tool that you have to download from their website. Now, I don’t know about you, but I kind of expect uninstall tools to be available ON my computer when I pay for and install a program.

There are several ways but this is one of the best.

But make sure you use #4 and only delete those that are bold and hit the plus signs.
This will also remove the registry items.
