Sometimes installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 2009 can be hindered by the “remains” of AVG8 in the system, although AVG8 was successfully removed and the system was restarted. Prior to copying the installation files onto the hard drive, the Configuration Wizard checks the computer for third-party software incompatible with Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 2009. The records of AVG8 in the system registry are identified by the Wizard as a fully installed and functioning anti-virus AVG8 although the product has already been uninstalled. As a result the Configuration Wizard asks to manually uninstall the incompatible software and interrupts the installation. To resolve the situation you should do the following: * Interrupt the current installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 2009 * download the archive avg8.zip * unpack all files from the archive avg8.zip into one folder * run the file KLeaner.exe * wait until the utility finishes its work * restart your PC * rerun installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 2009 Official Info for Installing version 2009 If you're upgrading to version 2009 from version 7.0/6.0/5.0, then i would strongly recommend that you uninstall 6.0/7.0 or any other previous version (this includes AV's from other vendors!)....... completely only keeping the activationdata of the possiblities you have to save data when you uninstall and reboot before proceeding, this is very important because version 2009 is quite different from previous versions. If you previously have had other anti-viruses installed then I would recommend you have a look at this sticky, Norton removal steps are very important even after you have removed normally via add/remove programs!
