Tried Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool --- Nothing found

Tried Kaspersky Rescue Disk -- Nothing found.

Protection is completely stopped. Unable to start Endpoint.

Have been struggling for solution over a month

Incident also raised and submitted all required files such GSI, screenshots, remote session etc. Support Engineer is unable to solve the issue.

Incident NO: INC000017392689

In some devices its giving error "application need to be restored. Run the setup wizard to restore." upon reboot or whenever you try to open endpoint application it throws error.

 

 

Hello.

The same thing happened to me with a computer and the only solution was to reinstall the system.

Good luck, friend.

 

 

I got more than 50 Machines with similar issues! reinstalling the system will be horrible job. Literally fed up with Kaspersky Support post sales even after having business Advanced subscription. More than 10 cases they could not address even.

True, they ask you for the GSI and I usually have to solve it myself.

 

 

Yes, GSI of multiple machines I shared, never got solution. I got 1000 total endpoints may be the time evaluate other products available in market. Only reason we are using is because of patch management feature available, which is useful in workgroup environment.

Create a remote installation task and deploy 12.8 keswin on endpoints

It's already been over a month — no problem, I’ll just wait a few more months for a solution. Meanwhile, the end user is beyond frustrated, constantly asking why the same dumps, traces, GSI images, and logs are being collected over and over again. 😂

Two other cases have been left unresolved for over a month, following the exact same cycle — logs, SQL queries, GSI, dumps — rinse and repeat. Eventually, out of sheer frustration, the customer stopped reading the responses and just closed the cases.

Let me know if you need the logs again — I’ve practically memorized the collection steps at this point.

Good Day!
