    Problem not clear. Can you explain, so we can help you?

    Download "Revo uninstaller" from www.download.com. Run program, pick level 4 when prompted, don't worry about backup, click agree to everything and let Revo take care of it. This program is great because it tells the program you want gone to uninstall and if it refuse or gives it a problem, Revo goes through your drive and hunts down every scrap of the program and deletes it all. It even makes a restore point on your drive in case there is a problem so you can restore back to where you started.

This is a solution that I've found online. It seems to work out for proper removal of the program.


"go to C:Program FilesBlue Coat K9 Web Protectionclick once on license
then press delete button
go to http://www.k9webprotection.com/download/k9-webprotection.exe
then press run
press next
click i agree
click next
go to http://www1.k9webprotection.com/getk9/index.php
fill the form in
then check your email if you've got the license
then copy and paste the license into the installation
click next
then create your own password
then click next
click install
then it has the part where it says error opening file for writing.....
you click ignore
then go to manually reboot later
go to start
go to all programs
go to where it says blue coat k9 web protection
go to uninstall
click yes
then type the password that you made before
then reboot now
and voila...you uninstalled it"

HOW TO DELETE K9 AND IT IS SO ANNOYING ME WHAT CAN I DO PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO GO ON THINGS BUT I JUST CANT I NEED SO MUCH HELP SO PLEASE HELP IT WILL BE SO GREAT NOT TO HAVE IT

Make sure you are connected to the internet before uninstalling K9 so your license is properly released. If this is not possible, you can continue to uninstall, but you will need to request a new K9 license if you choose to reinstall K9 in the future. Also, please make sure you are logged into your Windows Administrator user profile. Attempting to uninstall K9 from any other user profile than "Administrator" will not work.
  1. Click [Start].
  2. Click [Control Panel] (Note: if you cannot see this option, it may be under[Settings]).
  3. Open [Programs and Features] (Note: This will be called [Add/Remove Programs] in Windows XP).
  4. Locate Blue Coat K9 Web Protection in the list of programs and click once to highlight it.
  5. Click [Change/Remove].
  6. Click [Yes] when you are asked whether you want to completely remove K9. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNINSTALL K9 WITHOUT A PASSWORD. By design, K9 will block all internet access should one attempt to uninstall K9 without using a password. Attempts to modify K9 at the registry level will have the same effect.
  7. Enter your K9 Administration password and click [Uninstall]. If you forgot your password, click the "Forgot Password..." link to have a temporary password emailed to the email address on file.
  8. When prompted to reboot your computer, click [Yes].
After rebooting your computer, K9 will be completely uninstalled.

Hi im anthony and i had bought a laptop from a guy and it has k9 web protection on it and im tryn to get it took off can u pleasde help me

there are two methods you can try.
Method 1
If you have the administrator account password for the local computer and the best way to uninstall K9 web filter from the local computer is to re-install it! Re-install k9 web protection will simply get you a new license code and a new password you can enter without the need of old password.
1.Open K9 web protection website 2.Click "get K9 NOW" tab on the top-left 3.Fill out the information and your email. 4.Download the K9 Web protection software from the link included in the email and keep a copy of the license. 5.Grab a version of the K9 web protection installed on your computer, a Google search should do the job. 6.Open "Task Manager" by press (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and end the process K9filter found in the "Process" tab. 7.Now, you can safely delete the K9 web protection program files. Open computer explorer and go to the folder where K9 is originally installed. It can be found mostly at C:\Program Files/Blue Coat k9 Web Protection. 8.Remove the contents of the folder but not the folder. 9.Run the K9 web protection setup/installer file which has the same version as the one you just delete 10.Provide the license and create your new password 11.Point the installation folder to the same folder you just empty the contents earlier on 12.Now you can have a re-installed K9 web protection with a password you know. How do you uninstall K9 web protection now? Use the new password you just created If something goes wrong, install the K9 web protection program downloaded from Step 4.
Method 2
Reboot Windows into safe mode: restart your computer and hold "F8? key until you see the menu to choose "Safe Mode" Login to windows and go to "Program Files" directory and delete the K9 folder manually (delete only the contents but leave the folder) Click "Start"->"Run" and type "msconfig" Check the tab "Services" and tab "Startup" Un-check anything that is related to k9 If somehow this method is messed up, try to download K9 again to at least restore your previous installation. If this still does not work, try to install Revo Uninstaller.

Hi, I've recently installed k9 but i have forgotten my password and since then my email account has been hacked so i can't get it sent to another one, is there a password i can use to unistall it? ...

Heya

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-:

http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-professional-version.php

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

Long live the geeks!!!
