Thanks Berny,
I managed to reinstall Kaspersky.
Now the system tells me that I have a license that is still active but I cannot connect. I cannot find my license.
I think the kaspersky people are just making things harder.
When I go to My Kaspersky, it shows that I have a trial version that is active till mid November 2022. But when I select that tab for the active trial, it just cycles and hangs. It is crazy .
Thanks for your help though.
