Tell me if you are able to update Kaspersky now.

Thanks for all that work Jacee. I did what you suggested, but kaspersky still stops updating at 85%. I have not been able to find a virus on the PC.

Was this a 'trial' download of Kaspersky, or a paid for version?

I'd like you to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
   ESET OnlineScan
2. Click the button.
3. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
   1. Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
   2. Double click on the icon on your desktop.
4. Check
5. Click the button.
6. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
7. Check
8. Push the Start button.
9. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
10. When the scan completes, push
11. Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
12. Push the button.
13. Push

Can you run Eset, please? ... I'm not familiar with your setup. Your user account is on D:\ and the system is on C:\.

It looks like Kaspersky hasn't been updated or worked properly since December.

It is a paid version. License runs until August.

Frodi just a suggestion - stay with Jacee for starters.

But just for your information if your install is being run from the disk mate then you might as well forget it as I have done loads of installing this AV and never once found the disk method work properly if at all.

Try here mate Product Updates and Documentation: Kaspersky Internet Security this is where I do all mine.


I know I shouldn't post other forums here but in this instance you might even try this if all else fails.

Finished the scan, it took five and a half hours. Sorry about that. So I did a screen capture for you Jacee, no virus found. I will be away all day tomorrow, but will check in tonight for a little while. I have to go now for an hour or two. Thanks guys, for all the help you are so generously giving. Jacee, my applications are on C, user accounts and profile on D. All documents on D.
