Completely Uninstall Kaspersky software

Instructions

Download and run kavremover9.zip

The product check can be skipped at the command line in case there are traces left on the system of a Kaspersky product that the check did not discover automatically.

The syntax would be to run kavremover9.exe and add the product that should be removed as a parameter.

Here is the parameter list:

    * kav6
    * kav7
    * kav2009
    * kav2009×64
    * kis6
    * kis7
    * kis2009
    * kis2009×64
    * kav6fs
    * kav6wks


Example command:

Code:
    kavremover9.exe kav2009


would remove all traces of Kaspersky Antivirus 2009 from the system.

Would RevoUninstaller do a better job of removing the above or would using the respected AV uninstaller be better?
