2.3. Removing the application

If for some reason you need to uninstall Kaspersky Anti-Virus, run
Start Programs
Workstations
Windows Add or Remove Programs control panel tool.
If the application is controlled via Kaspersky Administration Kit, and
password protection has been enabled to prevent its unauthorized
uninstallation (see section 6.2.2.14 on page 151), you will be prompted
for the password prior to the removal procedure.
You then will be prompted to confirm the removal. Click OK in order to start the
removal process. This will open a window where you can choose whether
quarantined and backup objects should be removed or preserved, as well as
report and license key files.
That will start the process of removing the application files from the computer
hard drive.
If during the process of removal the uninstaller detects files that can be
used by other applications, you will see a dialog box that asks if you
would like to delete this file. Click the Yes button in order to remove the
file.
When removal of the application is completed, you'll be prompted to restart your
workstation. Select the preferred variant and click the Finish button.

2.4. Updating from version 4.x to 5.0

Before you start updating your copy of Kaspersky Anti-Virus it is
recommended that you process objects stored in the quarantine and in
the backup storage.
In order to update version 4.x of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations
to version 5.0, run the executable file. The existing earlier version of Kaspersky
Anti-Virus will be removed during the installation process.
After the installation is complete your operating system will have to be restarted.
Note that during the updating, the settings of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 4.x
will not be saved. You can use the default recommended settings or
configure your application again.
If you perform a remote installation of the application using Kaspersky
Administration Kit (details see the Reference Guide for Kaspersky Administration
Kit 5.0), version 4.x will be updated to version 5.0 automatically: the existing
version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus will be deleted and the remote computer will be
restarted.
