Antidote AV vanishes...?

Hi Art,

I did not clearly describe what I meant when I said "no
luck."

When I went to the Swiss site to purchase a key file for V3
I was sent to the site of the competing product that I
mentioned earlier.

And I find a place where you can purchase a key file for KAV
personal. Bart has given you a link.
But, on another channel:

You recall that when I now try to install KAV V5 I get the
error that I still have V3 installed. That, despite the fact
that I have un-installed it, and rebooted.

I attempted to clean my registry of dead keys, had a bunch
and deleted them, but still no luck on the installation of
V5.

This raises two questions:

Might you have any ideas about what I should be looking for
in the registry to manually clean it out?

Do a search for "avp" for one thing. You'll find many entries.
But be damn careful. Your best bet is to restore the registry
from backup.
And, I have very good backups.

To go back to a point prior to installing V3 I could just
restore a complete image, but I wondered if it would be
possible (and/or advisable) to merely go back to an earlier
registry.

If I were to try the latter, what is the file that I would
want to restore?

That's a dangerous way to do things on Win 2K. There are
MS articles on backing up and restoring the registry you can
Google up. Personally, I use the freeware app ERUNT, as I've
already mentioned. I backup both the System and User registries.

Since you have a complete image, why not restore from that?

BTW, I use XXCLONE to create a bootable drive as a backup.
It works well with Win 2K. To restore, I change the CMOS setting
to boot from HDD1 (secondary master) first. Then doing a XXCOPY
from C: to D: (backup drive HDD1 to primary drive HDD0) does
the restore. I then reset CMOS to boot up normally after removing
the backup drive.

Hi again Bart,

You have been extremely helpful, but I have two more
questions:

Is KAV V 3.5 a "current" product? I ask because I find it on
the Swiss site, but not on the US site.

Also, where can I learn more about the differences between
V3.5 and V5.

Thanks again,

Hi again Bart,

I wanted you to know that the folks at the site you
suggested responded in minutes, and pointed me to a removal
tool that eliminated my problem...

Thanks again,

If it's available anywhere, I guess that makes it current,
but as you know in AV products,
they are only as current as their definition set.
Also, where can I learn more about the differences between
V3.5 and V5.
