i uninstalled my old version of kaspersky, at which point the computer froze, so i shut it off and started it back up.
attempted to install the new version, got a message saying "you must restart your computer before proceeding with the installation" click "ok" then the kaspersky installer says "installation ended prematurely because of an error"
so i restart. i get a popup from spybot telling me somethings trying to change? a registry file, not sure what it is, i deny it. i dont know if that had anything to do with this or not, but no matter how many times i restart, completely shut down and start, whatever, i get these same messages when trying to install kaspersky.

since i couldnt find a way to edit my apply/deny selections in spybot, i uninstalled it, and of course restarted. to no avail.

please help. thank you.

Did you use the removal tool for Kaspersky?What version was it?

[toyarmy]

i used add/remove programs,
im not sure of the version, as it and its installer are gone.

http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208279463 copy and paste this in your address bar and run it.All i use with Kisv7 is SAS on demand,that's it.

[toyarmy]

i tried that, it said it couldnt find it on my system. tried installing kas again, same thing

SAS=super anti spyware?
