Kaspersky Internet Security prompt asking to enter password for C:\Windows\MFGSTAT.zip

[maxfun]

I've got this prompt during full scan asking for a password to this. I am not sure what to enter after I tried both my windows login password and Kaspersky account password. The scan is also stuck at 99% complete.

Hello @maxfun, 

Welcome!

1. Has KIS recently been installed? 
2. What is the Windows OS version & build -> How to find the version of your operating system? 
3. Has there ever been McAfee installed? 
4. Is this the first time a Full scan has been run? 

Thank you?

“If the check box is ticked, Kaspersky Total Security scans password-protected archives. Before files contained in the archive can be scanned, a request for password will be displayed on the screen. If the check box is not ticked, Kaspersky Total Security skips scanning password-protected archives.”

Hey @Berny, 

We were actually going to wait for @maxfun to confirm if such software has ever been installed, on their device, before we gave them what's potentially superfluous information, but - thanks for second guessing everything we try to do. 

BTW, in case you're wondering - we didn't forget, but you'll never know that will you. 

Thank you?
