If Kaspersky suddenly hangs when installing the software, you can usually solve the problem yourself quite quickly. We'll show you what causes and solutions to the problem.

Kaspersky: That's why the installation depends

• The installation is often hampered by other anti-virus software. For security reasons, many security programs block the installation of other programs that require deep intervention in the system.
• Look for active anti-virus programs and firewalls in the lower right corner of the taskbar. Open the program and switch off the protection for a short moment.
• If Kaspersky still hangs, uninstall the previous anti-virus software or firewall. After a restart, Kaspersky should install without any problems. In the following practical tip you will find instructions on how to uninstall.

Update or upgrade: Kaspersky hangs during installation

• If you have already installed another version of Kaspersky software on your computer, this can also lead to conflicts. Uninstall the version of Kaspersky that is already installed.
• The free Kaspersky Lab Products Remover will help you with this. The tool removes Kaspersky completely, so that complications with its own software are excluded. After a restart, you can start the installation again.
