| 94191 | 2002-10-29 07:51:00 | I run AVG anti virus in my puter and noticed this reference to KasperskyLab in my registry.I looked on Google and it said it was anti virus software. Although I dont usually touch the registry I have a little program called Reg Cleaner which I have sometimes used to remove unwanted downloads etc. Can any one explain what Kasperskylab is or is it part of AVG | John Boy (1365) | ||
| 94192 | 2002-10-29 08:27:00 | John Boy, Typing the words Kasperskylab registry entry into Google resulted in about 60 hits. Most of these refer to various Virus/Worm/Trojan writing registry records using the Kasperskylab name. Check for an example Sophos_AV (www.sophos.com) And then of course the Real KasperskyLab (http://www.avp.ru/): Kaspersky Lab an independent company was founded in July, 1997. The main direction of the company is a development and distribution of antivirus software. Kaspersky Lab' product AntiViral Toolkit Pro has received many referrences and awards last year as one of the best in the world detection-desinfection tool against computer viruses. Babe. |

| 94193 | 2002-10-29 08:49:00 | Thats interesting , so it has nothing to do with my AVG anti virus program.I dont recall ever downloading anything like that. I am not to knowlegable about this sort of thing. There are 2 entries under KasperskyLab. 1 is components and the other has Avp32 after it. I could remove it with the Registry Cleaner program but what will the effect be. It does however go into a backup folder |

| 94194 | 2002-10-29 08:53:00 | John Boy, No you can leave those particular registry settings alone, Not to worry about them. Babe. |

| 94195 | 2002-10-29 08:57:00 | OK Thanks Babe. I will do just that. | John Boy (1365) | ||
| 94196 | 2002-10-29 09:03:00 | John Boy, Just make sure that you keep your antivirus software up-to-date some of those Kasperskylab virii can be downright sneaky. Parts of those registry settings have indicated in the past a virus (usually a worm/trojan) attack, however keep up the vigilance, Cheers, Babe. |
