Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows is most often installed from the console, Kaspersky Security Center. Policies are created in the console that cause Kaspersky to be locked from changes on the client workstation. Uninstall is not just a simple Add and Remove Programs process.
Kaspersky has a service running on the workstation called Self Defense that keeps some registry entries locked and the installed folder for Kaspersky locked from changes. This causes uninstall to have to be done in Windows Safe Mode.

    there was a specific problem that has made the complete delete necessary?
    We also use Kaspersky.
    the reference to the use in the Uninstaller in Safe mode was new to me
    thx

    Since the communication to the KSC from that workstation wasn't operable, Self Defense would not turn off its lock on the install location, which has the folders, in essence, in Read Only mode. To get Self Defense to not start and lock the install location folders so that a uninstall/reinstall would be possible, it has to be done in this situation from Safe Mode.
