I have to vent because Kaspersky Labs are such jerks!
I tried to install KIS 2010 (I have a valid 3 user license) and it totally jacked up my XP; I could not load Windows and was getting a quick bluescreen and then crash.
Emailing support, all they would say is "you have to uninstall Spybot".
Well, after I uninstalled Spybot, that allowed me to log into Windows, but my User Profile got deleted and the system locked up so that I had to do a hard restart.
The funny thing is, I have KIS 2010 running perfectly well with Spybot on my Win7 installation (although I imagine Kaspersky will find a way to make it "incompatible".)
And I ran KIS 7, and then KIS 2009 alongside Spybot and never had an issue before (other than KIS 2009 making me uninstall Spybot before I could install it, and when I installed Spybot afterwards, there were no conflicts).
I believe Safer-Networking should sue those A$$holes because the only "incompatibility" is one they are deliberately creating.
Thanks for listening.
