Removing the application

You can remove Kaspersky Security fully or remove just one of the application components (File Anti-Virus or Network Threat Detection).

If you want to fully remove Kaspersky Security, you must perform the following actions:

1. Remove both Kaspersky Security components (File Anti-Virus and Network Threat Detection) from the virtual infrastructure.
2. Unregister both Kaspersky Security services in VMware NSX Manager.

   Kaspersky Security services can be unregistered in the Integration Server Management Console. The Integration Server (Kaspersky Service Manager) will also be unregistered in VMware NSX Manager.

3. Remove the Kaspersky Security administration plug-in and Integration Server.

If you want to remove one of the Kaspersky Security components, you must perform the following actions:

1. Remove the Kaspersky Security component (File Anti-Virus or Network Threat Detection) from the virtual infrastructure.
2. In VMware NSX Manager, unregister the Kaspersky Security service corresponding to the removed component (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection or Kaspersky Network Protection).

When an SVM with the File Anti-Virus component is removed, the copies of files that were placed in Backup are automatically deleted.

After removal of the File Anti-Virus and Network Threat Detection components, SVMs continue to be displayed in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. When the period specified in the Kaspersky Security Center settings elapses (see the Kaspersky Security Center documentation), the SVMs are automatically removed from the Administration Console.

You can manually remove SVMs from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console after completion of the application removal procedure.

Until SVMs have been removed from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, the events generated by these SVMs are saved in Kaspersky Security Center and displayed in the Kaspersky Security Center reports and event log.

The list of backup copies of files placed in Backup on SVMs with the File Anti-Virus component is also saved in Kaspersky Security Center, but no operations can be performed on the backup copies of files because they were deleted during the removal of SVMs from the hypervisors.
