The Problematic Scenario
Kaspersky won't uninstall - You are not able to uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security 16 completely from your Windows 10 computer. You have uninstalled it from the list of programs, but you find that it remains in the C drive. It also runs from the C drive. You have tried using a third-party uninstaller and attempted to delete it from the registry. Then, you have tried utilizing another similar uninstaller. However, Kaspersky Internet Security 16 is present in the C drive and keeps running from there. When you attempt to delete Kaspersky Internet Security 16 manually, you are unable to do it because you see a message that says the software is currently being used. In short, the Kaspersky app on your computer just won’t uninstall how much ever you try. Since kaspersky Internet Security 16 has expired on your computer, you have already installed another Antivirus.

But you are sure that you want to uninstall KIS 16 entirely from your computer. You are just not sure how to go about it.
