Guest seawind Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 While trying to upgrade from Kaspersky 6 to 9 I received the following message- Error 1606 could not access network location @:systemroot%\system32 When I tried to remove the Kaspersky 6 the same error massage displayed. I can't find this particular type of 1606 error in the Microsoft database. I have run four different registry cleaners without success. Is this a Registry problem? I have looked in the Registry (very scary) and there are a mass of Kaspersky keys in there. -- Charles

I know nothing about Kaspersky, and can't help with your problem, but I urge you to stay away from Registry Cleaners. Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you. The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit it may have. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Guest seawind Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Error 1606 -- Charles Thanks for the advice Gerry. I have used Registry Mechanic for years without a problem but the site your mentioned on cleaners really gave me a jolt. The key thing being one contributer who raised the point that no one source could possibly know the details for all software. Unfortunately the other reference does not help.

However before I saw it I was able to finally get some sense from Kaspersky itself. The problem is that any old virus checkers have to be removed first. They now have an updated removal tool which does all of the old KP programs and don't supply the one you mentioned any more. and the new version is now installed without having to use any other software. Again many thanks to you and all the others who contributed. It's a great forum. Cheers
