cc will no doubt remember a version of Kaspersky Internet Security that came from the German PC magazine Computer BILD. It was called Kaspersky Security Suite CBE and was free to its subscribers, needing re-activating with a new key every three months. This was one of the first sites to find workarounds to get the program to work for non German speaking users and also those outside of Germany itself. Kasperskys relationship with Computer Bild has now come to an end, and the new replacement is Norton Internet Security CBE. This is currently harder to find a work around for because you need a key from the magazine itself and it isnt a generic key. If you prefer Kaspersky products over Symantec this isnt great news for you. However, we have an alternative for CBE users and also a gre at way for users of free antivirus packages or users without antivirus software at all to get hold of a quality paid antivirus product for free. Kaspersky have a partnership with hardware manufacturer ASUS and provides its Anti-Virus 2013 free for 1 year to owners of the high end Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) range of motherboards. Although not the Internet Security package with Firewall etc, this version does have other crucial advantages over the CBE edition. Firstly its available outside of Germany so you dont need to edit the languages, Englis h is default. Secondly, Kaspersky Antivirus 2013 ROG edition is available worldwide so theres no need to use VPNs and proxies from your country to try and activate it! If you do not own an ASUS ROG motherboard, attempting to install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 using their setup installer will fail with the error message Error has Occurred. Application was not installed. Digital signature of installation files is missing. After a bi t of time and research weve come up with a way to install and activate the ROG edition using the standard antivirus package for AL L users, not just those who have Asus ROG motherboards. This isnt done using cracks or keygenerators, just common sense and logic. Heres the steps how to do it. 1. First off, if you dont already have it, you will need to download and install the 7-Zip archiver (version 9.20 or higher is required). Also, an important note, if youve had a Kaspersky product installed on your computer before (Antivirus, Internet Security, PURE or CBE), its highly advisable to download and run the Kaspersky Products Remover (KavRemover) to completely clear your machine of any residual files or registry entries that could interfere with the ROG install. 2. Go to the Asus Kaspersky page and download the KAV13014190_ROG.zip file.

3. Once downloaded, right click on the zip file and Extract Here to produce a setup executable. Then right click a gain and extract the setup installer file contents to a folder.

4. Go into the folder you extracted, right click on the kavkis.msi and choose to Extract Here. This will extract a single cbi.dll file which is the activation file for Kaspersky Antivirus. Right Click and Copy or Cut the cbi.dll file.

5. You need to manually create the Kaspersky Anti-Virus directory structure and paste the cbi.dll into it. Go to C:\Program Files\ and create a folder Kaspersky Lab. Go into that folder and create another folder called Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013, the structure will look like this for 32-bit users:

C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 or the following for 64-bit users:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 Paste the cbi.dll into the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 folder.

6. Now you need to create another directory structure, go to C:\ProgramData and create the folders Kaspersky Lab, then AVP13 inside that, and Data inside that to produce the following structure for Windows Vista, 7 and 8. The ProgramData folder is hidden by default so if you cant see it in the root of C, type C:\ProgramData into the Search box on the Start menu or configure Windows to show hidden files and folders from Folder Options found in Control Panel.

C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP13\Data For Windows XP the Kaspersky Lab folder is in Documents and Settings:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP13\Data 7. Go back to the KAV ROG folder from step 3 and double click to open the kavkis.cab file (not the msi from earlier). Inside you will find the Kaspersky license file with a name of _1AA7CD13.key. Right click and copy it, then paste the key file into the Data folder created from step 6.

8. Now the Asus ROG license files are in place, its time to download the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 setup installer from the Kaspersky website. You MUST download the update installer which the link points to and not the trial installer or it wont work and you will only get 30 days. Then simply install the package as usual, it probably makes no difference whether you choose to participate in the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN). For reference, the tested installer was kav13.0.1.4190abcdefEN_4395 but should work fine on newer 2013 versions when theyre released.

Once the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 program has installed, thats it, you dont have to do anything else because the program installs and activates itself automatically using the key from the ROG installer. Just make sure you have internet access during the process. If you look at the licensing details when the main interface pops up, you will see the activation has been applied and you have 365 days left!

Upon further inspection of the license file itself, we have also discovered that it doesnt actually expire until the 31st of December 2015. This doesnt mean that the key lasts until 2015 if you activate it now, but rather that you can activate this versi on of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 anytime between now and then to get a full 365 days of usage. The results of the Kaspersky Lab Key Viewer are below.

Installing and activating Kaspersky Antivirus 2013 ROG Edition has been confirmed working on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and theres no need to use proxy or VPN services which was the main stumbling block for users to get the CBE versions to work properly.

Just so you can see how quickly these steps can be followed and how easy the whole process is, weve made a small video to show you.
