    Is there any risk sending GSI report to Kaspersky?

    Yes, i wanted to keep it simple, but the Kaspersky support portal forum has advised that I send a GSI report before using the removal tool. They insist that they must give me the go-ahead to use it. The windows uninstall does not work even slightly in this case. Is there something wrong with...

    Is there any risk sending GSI report to Kaspersky?

    Hello, I am in the process of removing Kaspersky Free Home version from my PC. The people at the Kaspersky forum have requested a Get System Information report so they can help. I will be putting the ZIP file in a cloud server and sending a link to a moderator via private messgae. He...

    Solved How to properly back up entire system?

    I intend to back up everything on my PC, including applications such as Photoshop. How do i do this so that if something goes wrong (when i try to remove Kaspersky for instance) I can reinstall everything easily? Is it as simple as just transferring the folders in 'local disk C' to a backup...

    Kaspersky Free Version Blocking Everything, want to remove it safely

    Hello...I need to back up my whole system and create a system restore point first... I will have to ask how to do that. The last time I tried to do a system restore it failed, so I am uneasy to rely on that as a backup option. Thank you for asking :)

    Kaspersky Free Version Blocking Everything, want to remove it safely

    I don't mind backing up data, I actually have several external hard drives for that purpose. I have been worrying about the possibility of a virus going unnoticed by my anti-virus and then ending up on one of my backup drives, thereby ruining all backed-up files on that drive. Is there any way...

    Please educate me concerning virus possibility

    I use Avast Free Antivirus and Free Malwarebytes. I am using Windows 7 OS. Too much risk moving to Windows 10, and i don't want Windows 10 anyway, from what i have seen reported about it (even less privacy, useless apps and ads built into system, slowing the system, possibility of old...

    Please educate me concerning virus possibility

    Hello, I am wondering: is it possible that a virus or other infection can get onto my PC and remain undetected by my Avast anti-virus (free edition), and then be transferred onto my backup external hard drives when I am conducting a routine backup of files, and then destroy the data on my...

    2020 Windows Security solved with non-administrative user account for internet?

    I have another question, not sure if i should start a new thread. I installed Kaspersky Free Anti-ransomware and now videos will not play on the internet. Also, it takes a very long time to shut down the PC. I posted a question to the Kaspersky forum, but I am wondering if you know how to...

    2020 Windows Security solved with non-administrative user account for internet?

    OK, so the problem cannot be solved with another user account. I thought that sounded too easy. What about creating a virtual machine running Linux, and then use the internet with that? (I just cannot take a risk that my older software is going to get disrupted by a switch to Windows 10. I...
