Little bit of back round first: Dell Inspirion Laptop 1GB ram Kaspersky AV So the problem is that Kaspersky will randomly turn off, this makes windows go berserk, slows down my whole system to a crawl and the only fix is to restart with the power button. It began yesterday after I installed iTunes. When I realized that iTunes might be to blame I immediately uninstalled it. More Backround: Whenever to many things are going on, W7 starts turning programs off. I'm assuming that for some reason when I installed iTunes, Kaspersky was moved to the front of that list, now even though iTunes is uninstalled the problem persists. Does anyone know where I can find that list (and remove Kaspersky from it)? If I'm wrong, does anyone know what the real problem might be?

Hi YozMan, If you are unable to uninstall Kaspersky from the Programs and Features, and you are unable to find Kaspersky there, please try this link and see if the removal tool works. Hope this helps.Jabez Gan [MVP] - http://www.msblog.org Contributing Author for: (Sybex) MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-643

I've had the same problem when I started iTunes for the first time it kicked out the firewall and slowed down my laptop. I restored my laptop and reinstalled Kaspersky. It worked fine for a while until I updated Kaspersky and the same problem happened again.

It's Kaspersky. Uninstall it. Clean out your registry. Try Avast Free Home, it doesn't interfere with other programs and doesn't use up resources.

I lost all faith in the product when they 1) acknowledged the problem on their forums and then told people to run all updates off their beta update server. I paid more than I ever paid for a security program for the honor of running their betas which, if you downloaded manually instead of automatically (via the beta server), gave you a disclaimer that you were using at your own risk. My apologies - end of rant....Stephen
