Registry hack for Kaspersky antivirus
First off download either KIS or KAV from the Kaspersky web site.
Once installed and it asks you to register, skip through this section.
After the computer has rebooted load up Kaspersky, click on "Settings" and go down to "Options" and un-check
"Enable Self-Defence". Click ok.
Now disable Kaspersky and exit the program.
Next run regedit
For Windows 7 x64 users
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeKasperskyLabprotectedAVPenvironment
OR for Windows Vista Ultimate x86
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREKasperskyLabprotectedAVP8environment
Scroll down to Product Status and change from "Release" to "Beta"
Exit regedit and reload Kaspersky, you'll notice that when you goto the area where you
normally input your key you now have an option to "Activate Beta Version".
Click this and you'll get a 30 day BETA trial, the great thing is you can just redo this time and again,
so 30 days later just click "Activate Beta Version" again and you'll get another 30 days. You only need to make the registry change once, not each time :)
You can re-enable Self Defence once you've edited the registry.
