I installed a trial version of Kaspersky AV pro, and then I uninstalled it once the trial period ended. However, when I start Avast 4.6 AV home edition, it says that it detected Kaspersky service, therefore, will shut off p2p shield, instant chat shield and some other shield. Anyone know how I can “completely” remove Kaspersky from my laptop? I removed Kaspersky using add/remove section of Windows XP home edition.
