K9 web protection cannot be uninstalled without password by the windows utility as it has limited access.Now what you can do is use REVO UNINSTALLER software.The following is the link for downloading the setup file-:
After downloading the setup file install it.Now as soon as you open the revo uninstaller it will show you all the programs installed.Now select K9 web security and then it will give you four options.Select advanced uninstaller and click on next (this might open windws uinstaller again and might ask you for a password as well but just click on cancel).Just after this it will show a screen to delete all the files of k9 from your hard drive and also from your registry.Select all the files and click on delete all.Some of the files might not delete but as soon as you restart the computer K9 will be out of your computer. Basically it will not uinstall k9 but will delete all the files from your computer and the registry as well.So if there are no files of k9 in the registry that means its out of your computer.
This is a guaranteed solution but i hope your not a minor who just wants to watch ..you what i mean.. well anyways goodluck
