Can't install Kaspersky free, getting cannot connect to server error.

[nancyrowina]

I'm running windows 7 and have removed all traces of my last antivirus, and checked for other virus's with the kaspersky virus removal tool. The system is completely up to date and has enough free space. Really frustrating as have installed it before on the same OS, is there a problem with the server today or something?

Thanks, I can't fully remove yontoo, I've installed malawarebytes and run it but the program is still there in the add and remove programs, and I'm still getting an error when trying to install kaspersky Can you give me anymore help to remove yontoo?

Hello Nancyrowina, When you say "program is still there in the add and remove programs", is Yontoo unable to be removed via Windows(7) Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Unistall program? or with Malwarebytes? After running the clean was a reboot done? Can you share with us screenprint/s of errors when trying to install KAV free please? Have you tried downloading KAV free from another Kaspersky site, (in case of regional restrictions)? https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-yontoo-layers/ https://help.kaspersky.com/KAV/2019/en-US/87342.htm Please let us know? Thanks

I've got rid of yontoo now thanks, still not installing though, also tried downloading the installer from the uk site, still doesn't work. Have been restarting the computer after every step too.

nancyrowina tried to use the utility smartfix? Try to download the archive by the link, then unpack it into one folder and run the startup.exe. https://support.kaspersky.com/12965#block1

Try to download the archive by the link, then unpack it into one folder and run the startup.exe.

Hello Friend, Is whatever is in the archive from a Kaspersky source?

Hi, FLOOD Yes, this is a complete installation distribution Kaspersky Free. https://support.kaspersky.com/12965#block1 Check your computer for viruses, as there should be no redirects to the vodafone.

I turned off my firewall for a while when installing the antivirus. It works fine.
