How to disable self-defense if there is no license
To begin with, it is worth saying that there are two ways to do this, one way is to remove Kaspersky Anti-Virus, and the second is to boot Windows in safe mode. In fact, both methods will eventually give the same result. I will start with a more accessible method for ordinary users through the removal of the program.
2. We launch this program and agree to the license agreement.
After uninstalling Kaspersky, click OK and restart the computer.
In the line that appears, enter the command regedit and click OK.
Before us is the Windows Registry Editor. Now here you need to delete some keys (folders). They are located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ KasperskyLab
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ SPC
Those. use it as a conductor, and you need to delete it at the above "folder" addresses KasperskyLab and SPC, for this you will need to right-click on them and select " Delete".

After you have dealt with deleting these keys, we close the registry editor and now download the required Kaspersky product from the official website of Kaspersky Total Security or Kaspersky Internet Security, install the downloaded Kaspersky antivirus and run it. After that, we see that the program asks to enter a license key or get a trial version, while the self-defense tab has become active again and can be turned off.

When using Kaspersky Anti-Virus, situations may arise when protection needs to be temporarily disabled. For example, you need to upload a file, download a program with a crack, or visit a site whose content is blocked by the defender. For such situations, you can use the function of temporarily disabling protection.
The standard way to disable Kaspersky protection
To pause PC protection for a while, you should do the following:
- On the Windows taskbar, right-click on the Kaspersky icon. Select "Pause" from the list.
- A window will appear. Specify how long you want to disable Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
- Protection suspended.
You can also disable antivirus protection through the settings menu of the program itself. To do this, you must perform the following steps:
- On the taskbar, double-click to open the menu of the antivirus program. A new window will open. Click on the gear icon.
- In the "General" section, drag the slider to the "Disabled" position.
- The program will display the fact that protection is disabled in the main menu.
- You can turn Kaspersky back on by dragging the slider to the "Enabled" position.
How to disable Trusted Applications mode?
If the antivirus blocks only the launch of programs, protection can be left on. It is enough to deactivate the "Safe Programs" function. To do this, perform the following steps:
- In the main menu of the program, click "Additional Tools".
- In the menu on the left, select "Trusted Software Mode".
- A new window will open. Select "Turn off".

Kaspersky Anti-Virus has a multi-stage system for protecting the OS and personal data from viruses and other malicious programs, and therefore is the most important link in the computer security system. Even temporarily disabling it is undesirable, since a virus can infect Windows instantly when you least expect it. But in some cases, you cannot do without disabling the antivirus, since its too aggressive protection can block the launch and normal operation of some programs and sites.
The easiest and fastest way to disable Kaspersky is to disable it via the taskbar. Open the taskbar and right click on the antivirus icon. Select "Exit" and confirm the action. The program will be unloaded from the system. However, the above example is not the best solution, because then you have to run the antivirus again. Forgetting to do this will leave your computer defenseless. A more logical solution would be to temporarily suspend Kaspersky for the specified time. To do this, right-click on the Kaspersky icon in the taskbar and select "Pause protection".Disable the antivirus only when it is really necessary and there are no other options. If you forget to turn it on, you run the risk of infecting your computer with malware and then getting rid of them for a long time. Use exceptions for conflicting applications instead of disabling Kaspersky, so as not to compromise the security of the OS and personal data.

A settings window will appear in front of you, in the left working area of \u200b\u200bwhich the "Parameters" section will be available.

In the case of the 2011 version, the procedure will be similar. Also, as in the previous case, open the settings window (it is located in the same place). After that, go to the "Self-defense" tab. We look at the window, which is located on the right side: there we are looking for the option "Enable self-defense".

Cautions

So only do this if absolutely necessary, and only if you are one hundred percent sure that the link you want to follow is absolutely safe; and the program you are about to run or install will not harm your operating system.
Remember that to prevent the penetration of malicious software much easier than to deal with the consequences of their activity later.
