kaspersky logoKaspersky is one of the top security software providing best protection to your data from latest Viruses, worms, phishing attacks, malware, etc. I’ve now found a 100% working trick, using which one can use Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 after end of its 30 days trail for Free.

Follow the steps below carefully to do it:

1. Open Kaspersky settings > Options and uncheck Enable Self-Defense. Click Ok.

2. Exit Kaspersky.

3. Go to Start, open Run, then type regedit and press enter.

4. Under Registry Editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Kaspersky Lab > protected > AVP9 > environment.

5. Find the entry ProductStatus and change Release to Beta.

6. Press OK then open Kaspersky.

7. Under License, Activate beta license then press Next and Finish (Delete any trial keys first if any, as they wont work).

8. Re-enable Self-Defense from options.

9. Now you have 30 days of beta license activated. After every 30 days, simply click Activate Beta (delete the expired beta key first) and enjoy another 30 days Free :D

Kaspersky will now show as Beta Version though it is your final version only. Enjoy!


UpdateHow to delete the expired key & activate beta license ?

To delete beta key, open Kaspersky > License Manager and click on the red X (cross) next to the code. Then click on Yes button as shown in below image.

Now click ‘Activate New License’ option and then chose ‘Activate beta license’. Click Next to activate kaspersky.


Update (28 Jan) – As pointed out by most readers, I also got the same error saying ‘key is blocked’. I guess, Kaspersky has finally figured out this loophole and fixed it via updates :(

Update (29 Jan) – Finally another way is out! Our smart readers ‘Stalin & Mr. Fix it’ have provided a quick and simple solution via comments to use Kaspersky for FREE :) Check the new procedure below:

1. Delete any license keys first.

2. Disable Self-Defense and Exit kaspersky.

3. Following above steps, change the ProductStatus back to Release in registry.

4. Double click PCID and change the last 3 digits to what ever you want and click Ok.

5. Exit registry editor and restart kaspersky.

6. Select activate trial license and you should now have 30 or 31 days remaining. Repeat this method any time to reset to 30 days.

story... based on true story...

Well, I am finally here. The day had finally arrived. Its my day again after such a long year. I have been waiting this moment for many year and dreamt about it a lot but now it gonna’ happen.

Then I took a sip of hot creamy coffee of Indiana. The cup was pleasant and decorated with blue lily with a dark reddish base at the bottom. Many people were beside me some were couples, some were groups of chaps, some very busy in their own, some busy serving the people. Yeah, I was in a café.

There was a lady sitting in the right corner of the table busy reading novel. My eyes was diverted toward that pretty looking innocent girl trying to read some book with the help of dictionary that she was carrying on her left hand. It seems like she was not fluent with that particular language. Among a huge mass I was only the person with a dress-up of old 80s. I had a query about her and wanna’ talk with her but still it’s really awkard to talk with a strange person without knowing. So, I let it go and start focusing on my own business. I had to complete my project of within two days. I work in the human resources development as magazine editor for a two years and wanted to experience and learn new things traveling a new place. Then I took another sip of coffee and I can feel the soft creamy inside my taste bud pondering so deeply and disappearing soon. I usually come this place because it’s really a cool place to hang out and keep my mind cool. Even if u get bored there are lot and lot of things to see like the picture with great quality fabrics , an advertisement, a old handmade statue with a solid texture and very important is the sword of 19th century hanging on the wall. That very sword make me feel the history of legendary people who gave up their life fighting for the freedom of the nation. The songs was very pleasant and wonderful, which keep me inner peace. I can even observed the nice view from the window. The mother glory had given us such an extraordinary beauty that whnen ever I look outside the window I always find me in heaven and take my breath away. It was a perfect place for me and come here very often.

After sitting for a while same girl came nearby me and started speaking unfamiliar language with. She was dressed with western uniform with black boot. She has got a long blonde hair with a rosy chicks. Then she ask if I can understand what she was saying. I simply node my head. She seems really confused at that time and new in the state for sure. I want to help her but couldn’t communicate. I asked her to join with me in my table with the sign language. She was very upset and want to ask something very desperately. I was pretty not sure that what she might gonna ask. After a second attempt I came to know that she was Russian. She even didn’t know how to speak in English. My mind my blank and couldn’t react. She seems lost and desperate and only thing that came into my mind is communicate.

To be continue....
