Kaspersky Database warning? W7

I got KAV to open but any path to Updating appears to do it, then to issue another warning.

In Control Panel I tried to uninstall KAV, but I get an error that Windows Installer is not working.

I'm going to try to install KAV over itself.

Might want to try the Kaspersky uninstall tool. It can be found on this page: »support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208279463

Good luck!

See ya across the Rainbow Bridge, my good and faithful friend!

Thanks. Anyone know if there is a version of this removal kit for KAV 8.0 (Win 7)?

I haven't had a look to see if the removal tool has been updated as yet but I believe they are in beta testing for the WKS version which they are working with Windows 7 as well. Don't think the home user version is near to testing as yet. The WKS version is just the workstation version which has a little extra for remote admin purposes.

Maybe ask about the tool in the forum for WKS

This Windows Installer issue was apparently what was causing Kaspersky to be unable to proceed without constant warnings:

»[Windows 7] Windows Installer has stopped working

I did fix number one in the first post of this thread.

Being a beta, Kaspersky8 does not always update. The definitions etc. are not available as frequently as with a released product, there are never any updates on weekends or holidays, sometimes a week or more may pass by before an update is actually available. Windows 7 Action Center and KAV8beta both seem to complain if it is more than 24 hours since the last update was implemented. It just updated now and all is quiet again.

It's a beta AV on a beta OS, no need to fret.

*edit*
SpybotS&D breaks Kaspersky8.0(beta) and prevents it from updating.

Interestingly, you get a warning when trying to install Kaspersky8 that SpybotS&D is incompatible (if SpybotS&D is already installed on the system) but not if you install SpybotS&D after Kaspersky8.

There are forums to discuss all this at kaspersky labs

KAV seemed really buggy when I tired it, had to switch back to AVG.
