Well, long story short, you can't be on the internet without protection.
Something that comes to my mind: Stuck in an update loop, a bad update not working with your system well, or a Microsoft update, Not enough space on the computer to run the whole application…..different things that can be contributing to the problem.
Below is the Kaspersky forums, what you can do is to join?, then post a topic with the issues your having, maybe an administrator there can help… https://forum.kaspersky.com/
If all else fails, I can give you a list of antivirus that you can experiment with to see which one is most suited for you.
Note: The programs listed below are all free to use or they have some sort of trial. Some of them have a paid version that provides more features, while a lot of other good programs only have a paid version but aren't listed there (such as Kaspersky and ESET Antivirus products).
🖼Click to load external image (j1Bynr2.png)Malwarebytes - Has both a free and paid version. The Premium version of Malwarebytes also offers Exploit and Ransomware protection, for a complete package of: Malware, Web, Exploit and Ransomware protection
All your suggestions are good. I will try the Kaspersky root first and progress from there. And once again, thank you very much for your time, trouble and wonderful fixes. Because of these I can now do the research. Thank you, Cari
Let's remove the tools and quarantine folders we created.
Please download DelFix or from Here and save the file to your Desktop.
Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
Place a checkmark next to the following items:
Activate UAC
Remove disinfection tools
Click the Run button.
– This will remove the specialized tools we used to disinfect your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can bedeleted manually (right-click the file + delete).
All's well except for Kaspersky, which I am working on, when I can make time. This whole thing happened after I deleted Comodo, after a three year contract I had with them. Then I went to Kaspersky free, which I am working around switching it on and off when I need to work, like sending this report to you. Once again I can breath, thanks to your help. Keep well and thank you. Cari

This whole thing happened after I deleted Comodo
Looking back over your logs I see a few Comodo files/folders left over.
I have no idea if this is still causing a problem with Kaspersky but it's worth mentioning.
HKLM\…\StartupApproved\Run: => "COMODO PC TuneUp" <-this is in your startups list so something related to Comodo is still there.
~~
I did check the internet for a uninstall tool but I'm not sure if I trust that.
If you like we can download Farbar again and delete out these left overs?
Start FRST (FRST64) with Administrator privileges Press the Fix button. FRST will process the lines copied above from the clipboard. When finished, a log file Fixlog.txt will pop up and saved in the same location the tool was ran from.
Please copy and paste its contents in your next reply.
Still had to disable Kaspersky to scan Farbar and send this report.

Fantastic. It looks like Kaspersky was not the problem. I am fairly sure it all stemmed from Comodo mainly. Thank you for all your time and help. Life has taken a turn for the better and business is picking up again. Best regards, Cari Mostert.
Let's download Delfix again and remove what we did last.
Please download DelFix or from Here and save the file to your Desktop.
Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
Place a checkmark next to the following items:
Activate UAC
Remove disinfection tools
Click the Run button.
– This will remove the specialized tools we used to disinfect your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can bedeleted manually (right-click the file + delete).
I think all that could go wrong, has gone wrong today. I am at my wits end with this 100% disk usage. It will not stop, no matter what I do. I uninstalled Kaspersky and that never helped either. There is a download icon in my download folder called [Kpassword Manager 9.0.1.44] that when I go to my download folder or right click to remove this icon, the PC freezes and that's it. I wait a half-hour to one-hour, until it goes away and I can go back to my File Explorer. When I click on the download file, it all starts to happen all over again. Between all this, I had to download DelFix four times, because every time I clicked on it, it disappeared. With nightmarish persistence, I finally got this report. I'm thinking, maybe I should sell this PC and get another one. I'll starve if I go on like this!

Problem could be an incomplete uninstall and the password manager is trying to still work, which your not wanting.
below is a help toic relating to this from Kaspersky, read over it and see if any of the suggestions will work but, thinking since you tried an uninstall……well we'll see how it goes. https://support.kaspersky.com/14868
If we need to we can search for Kaspersky files/folders using FRST.
I have been to that and many other Kaspersky sites, but no go. The activation code won't work. All I have to do is right click on the icon and life's over. It turns into a 100% disk usage and nothing happens anywhere - from a half to one hour and more - and then stops and nothing. I was wondering if we can't take it out of the registry?
