Windows 10 Pro: Uninstalling KAV; should I expect problems?

[Bert]

Windows 10 Pro with KAV 21.3

I’m preparing the PC to give to someone else, so I’m doing some house cleaning without doing a clean re-install of Windows, so I’ll want to uninstall KAV.

The process for uninstalling KAV looks a bit complicated, but seems well documented.

There’s also the KAVREMOVER tool which comes with this warning:

“ Do not use the kavremover tool unless recommended to do so by Kaspersky technical support engineers.”

Other than carefully following the removal instructions from the Kaspersky Web site, is there anything I should be looking out for?

Hello @Bert, 

Welcome back! 

• Is the KAV software you’re uninstalling going to be used on another machine? IF “yes”, before starting, write down the Activation code. 
• The Uninstall process is straightforward, follow all the documentation carefully, at step 8 do not tick any check boxes. 
• Personally, if we were giving any of our computers to someone else we’d do a clean install. 
• Do not use KAVREMOVER, there is no reason to use it. 

If you get stuck or need help, please let us know? 

Thank you🙏

Thanks for the confirmations, especially about KAVREMOVER.
