CHAPTER 6. UNINSTALLING
THE APPLICATION
Depending upon the distribution package selected for installation of the
application, removal of Kaspersky Anti-Virus from a server running Linux will
require one of the following steps:
• To uninstall the application installed from an .rpm package, type the
following in the command line:
# rpm –e <distribution_package_name>
• To uninstall the application installed from a .deb package, type the
following in the command line:
# dpkg –r <distribution_package_name>
In order to remove Kaspersky Anti-Virus from a server running FreeBSD, type
the following in the command line:
# pkg_delete <distribution_package_name>
The procedure removing Kaspersky Anti-Virus runs automatically; it successively
performs the following operations:
1. Removal of the cron task updating the anti-virus databases from the list
of tasks for the kluser user.
2. Restoration of the original settings in the configuration file of Squid proxy
(used before installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus), and proxy restart.
3. Termination of the application services.
4. Roll-back of the registration for automatic start-up of application services
in the system.
5. Removal of temporary files and directories created while Kaspersky Anti-
Virus was running.
6. Removal of application files: the procedure deletes all directories and
files of the Anti-Virus including the anti-virus databases installed with the
package. The only exception includes reports, configuration files and
backup directory, which will not be deleted.
