TIP: Use Key file to activate KAV 2010

[newprouser]

1. Normally Kaspersky anti-virus doesn't give the option to use key file during setup.So choose the 3rd option, which is to activate later.

2. After installing disconnect from internet. (no probs if u don't have it )

3. choose the activate option and enter the key code and try to activate. It will try to contact activation server and fail.

4. You will be presented with the screen as below.



5. Choose the key file and activate it

A good tip since Kaspersky has "tried" to remove the key file activation.

They still haven't remove the way of activating by keyfile. Guess is a bug.

Good tip... These type of bugs are really useful to us, no matter whatever Kaspersky think of it...

Thanks but kaspersky sucks.I use GData Total Care 2010.Not even a single virus has effected my computer for past 6 months.

"Kaspersky sucks". That's a pretty strong statement eh...

[LunarWolf]

Excuse me?

Kaspersky resuce my system so many times.

Yeah actually just because you didn't get a single virus in 6 months with GDATA it doesn't mean every other antivirus suck. Come on, be realistic.
