How to uninstall incompatible applications
How to uninstall incompatible applications
Kaspersky Free regularly checks if there are any
incompatible applications
on your computer. Such applications are added to the list of incompatible applications. You can look through the list and decide what to do with the incompatible applications.
An anti-virus application from a third-party developer or a Kaspersky Lab application that does not support management through Kaspersky Free.
It is recommended that you delete incompatible applications from your computer. Otherwise, Kaspersky Free will not be able to fully protect your computer.
The following are some of the reasons why a third-party application might not be compatible with Kaspersky Free:
- The application conflicts with File Anti-Virus.
- The application conflicts with Firewall.
- The application conflicts with Anti-Spam.
- The application interferes with protecting network traffic.
- The application conflicts with Secret Vault.
- The application conflicts with Kaspersky Password Manager.
How to uninstall incompatible applications
To remove incompatible applications:
- Open the main application window.
- Click the Details button in the upper part of the window.
This opens the Notification Center window.
- In the Recommendations section, click the Show button in the line containing the message about detected incompatible applications.
This opens the Incompatible software found window containing a list of the detected incompatible applications.
- Select the check boxes next to the names of the incompatible applications that you need to remove, and click Remove. The removal is handled by removal tools provided by these applications. During the removal process, you may be asked to provide consent to removal or modification of settings associated with application removal.
- If the computer still contains incompatible applications that cannot be removed automatically, a window is displayed with a list of such applications. To manually remove incompatible applications, click Remove manually. This opens the standard operating system window containing a list of installed applications.
