How to activate Kaspersky 2009 the easy way...
No keys necessary
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
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\KasperskyL ab\protected\AVP8\environment\
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 do the same thing.
Basically what you've done here is fool the Kaspersky server into thinking your using the BETA version of
the product when infact your actually using the Release version that will give you all the updates etc like
a full release.
No more keys, no more nagging!!
I am using Windows 7 Build 7077 so I don't know if the above registry location is different to Vista/XP.
If so when using regedit simply search for "Release" instead and it will find the correct registry location.
Hope this works for everyone!!!
