I downloaded the trial version of Kaspersky Labs antivirus 6.0. I was not satisfied with its functionality. Want to install another company's program instead, but must UNinstall Kaspersky first, natch. Can't. Kasjerky requires a *^&#$?! password, even though the trial period expired and the darned thing is functionally DEfunct. Not only that, but their online support requires the password just in order to contact them. (their phone support never answers, btw.) So I am stuck with this thing, unable to even install alternative protection. Or...?
Does anyone know, for example, how to get into my machine as administrator, in order to override the roadblocks to uninstallation? (Yes, I have tried both the Remove Program control panel AND manually deleting the program file. Nothing seems to work.)

Btw, it IS my own, home PC.
I AM, theoretically, the administrator. It has been a long time since someone showed me how to enter as administrator, and I'm not even sure that that is a workable option, anyway.

If you don't have administrator privelages, then you really shouldn't be trying to mess with that stuff. Contact the person who does have admin, and have him/her do it.
Otherwise I would say manually delete the program, but then you will have truckloads of registry errors to deal with.

i'm utilising dirlock utility to fasten a number of considerable folders in my pc. some time in the past I forgot the password given to a folder. i attempted lots to keep in mind it, yet i could no longer bear in mind. I searched interior the internet, yet could no longer get answer. Then I uninstalled the dirlock utility and re-put in the comparable. Locked the folder lower back by utilising giving new password. tried to open the folder by utilising utilising the recent password. To my surprize, it labored properly!
