Removing the application

Virtual machines and user data will no longer be protected if Kaspersky Security is uninstalled.

The procedure to uninstall Kaspersky Security from the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:

1. Uninstalling the Protection Server component of Kaspersky Security.

   To uninstall the Protection Server component, remove SVMs from hypervisors. You can remove SVMs on all or several hypervisors in the virtual infrastructure.

   If you uninstall SVMs on some hypervisors, after completing the SVM uninstallation procedure on the hypervisor, it is recommended that you delete the connection settings to this hypervisor, or to the virtual infrastructure administration server under which the hypervisor is running, from the following lists:

   • from the list of hypervisors and virtual infrastructure administration servers to which the Integration Server is connected for receiving information about the protected infrastructure
   • from the list of hypervisors and virtual infrastructure administration servers that is displayed in the SVM Management Wizard (see, for example, the step “Selecting SVMs to remove” in the SVM uninstallation procedure).
2. Uninstalling the Light Agent for Windows or Light Agent for Linux component.

   You can remove Light Agent from all or several virtual machines.

3. Uninstalling the Light Agent for Windows component from virtual machine templates.
4. The Network Agent component must be removed from protected virtual machines and virtual machine templates if Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent was installed on protected virtual machines and virtual machine templates.
5. Removing the Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins, Integration Server, and Integration Server Management Console.

After the Protection Server and Light Agent components have been removed, the virtual machines on which these components were installed continue to be displayed in the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center. On expiry of the period set in Kaspersky Security Center (see the Kaspersky Security Center documentation), the virtual machines are automatically removed from Administration Console. You can remove the virtual machines from Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console manually after uninstalling the application.
