After that, in the upper right window, look for the "Settings" button. You will see the settings window, in the left workspace of which the "Parameters" section will be available. We go into it, and uncheck the box next to the line "Enable self-defense". We confirm the changes by clicking the "OK" button and close the settings menu. It's easier than using Kaspersky Rescue Disk.

In the case of the 2011 version, the procedure will be similar. Also, as in the previous case, open the settings window (it is located in the same place). After that, go to the "Self-defense" tab. We look at the window that is located on the right side: there we are looking for the "Enable self-defense" option.
