I do not know what to make of your reply, except: a) I pay the $ to Kaspersky not MS and the version is provided by KAS for this machine and OS. It updates regularly. b) I am serious or I would not ask the question about these Kaspersky files. c) Do you have a helpful comment as to the Event Log information ? My comment is that Twitter etc. replies to serious questions with replies that contain more content. lets try again. Hike

Most of the KAS (Total Security) modules - specific example klbackupdisk.sys klif.sys has the subject note as to invalid hash when reviewed in the Event Viewer/Security Audit. The actual program start (Total Security) has no error messages. I have been experiencing Crashes for some time of untraceable cause, causal (ie. from hundreds of operations), from crash any time (hours to minutes) during all of my operations. Attached is a snapshot of the Audit file in <eventvwr>. Specifically though, are these files corrupted ? If so, should I de-install KAS and re-install ? === O/S Windows Vista 6.0 (Build 6002: SP2 X86 KAS Total Security 17.0.0.611(o) <end>
