After the installation, everything seemed to be fine. However, after a few reboots suddenly went nothing more. I could no longer connect my laptop with Wi-Fi networks, it was not possible to open any program, neither the Explorer, yet the control panel could be run. I already suspected that was connected with the new Kaspersky because it was the last program installed. Lo and behold, after exiting the software everything worked perfectly again.
All this would not have been tragically up to this point, so I would have just simply uninstalled, waited a few more months for updates and then installs it again ...
So I downloaded the official "Kaspersky Removal Tool" to remove from the Kaspersky site down to the faulty program. Here it came directly to the next problem. After the first run I was on the program that Kaspersky has been successfully uninstalled, but after restarting opened as seie nothing had happened again Kaspersky PURE 3.0. So tackled another try and run the removal tool again. Again the same message "successfully uninstall". Again initiated a reboot and ZACK: nothing went more. Suddenly no more hard drives as no USB ports or other BIOS Drive were recognized. Only the IPv4 and IPv6 network ports were still shown as valid boot drives. My worst fear in this moment was, of course, that the motherboard was damaged, which would not have been as fun times with a brand new laptop.
After complete two days of work and Herumdoktorei (BIOS to factory defaults, other hard drives installed, checked old hard drives for errors, and and and) I made it then a boot to activate and as an external DVD drive with a Windows 8-Disc again via USB allow.
At this point sometimes kudos to Microsoft, because so besch..eiden the new Windows 8 may be, the recovery function runs properly. I do so in the end was possible to reset my system disk to a level of 2 weeks ago (as no Kaspersky was installed yet) and lo and behold: Suddenly all disks and drives in the bios are also displayed correctly.
CONCLUSIONS: This whole experience was of course extremely annoying and I had thus an effective loss of working hours of 3 days. In addition, I do not think that the problem-solving, which I was able to apply, a layman would have been possible. Consequently, a lot of repair costs would be at this point again attacked by a computer specialist.
After years with no problems with Kaspersky I'll think about it in future times, if I install again a product of the company.
Just a few additional details:
My experiences are from March 2013, Kaspersky PURE for several weeks was 3.0 on the official Kaspersky page as a download (not marked as BETA) available for purchase.
I used previously Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 before the PURE installation I have this uninstalled properly with the Bitdefender removal tool.
The device under which it came to the problems is:; qid = 1364125168 & sr = 8-1
