try this instructions:
This is a totally safe way to remove k9 web protection without a password
1.) Go to http://www1.k9webprotection.com and click on the "get license" tab on the left
2.) fill that out and get the license from your email address
3.) In the email there will be a link to download k9 or just type this into the address bar http://www.k9webprotection.com/download/k9-webprotection.exe
You'll need this to reinstall k9 just incase you mess something up
4.) Download an older version of k9 web protection
I used
K9 Web Protection 3.2.36 which you can download from the following link
http://www.shinedownload.com/software/K9-Web-Protection/665.html
5.) Access the task manager (ctrl + alt + del), go to the "process" tab, find "k9filter" and end this process
of course after this point you won't be able to get on the internet since you just tampered with the program so make sure you've got the license from your email, the k9 installer, the k9 installer for the older version, and these directions on your desktop or something
6.) Go to the folder k9 is installed in ( C:\Program Files/Blue Coat k9 Web Protection/ is where it should be) and delete all the files in the folder, but not the folder itself
7.) Run the installer for the older version of k9
at this point you'll enter your license and create a password
8.) Install it in the folder you emptied earlier
9.) Now you can log on to k9 and change the filtering to whatever you please or just go ahead and uninstall it
Now you should be free of that horrible skank of a program
If not, then restart your computer. Or you can reinstall it from the installer you got from the k9 website, get on the internet, and email me at
[email protected] and you and I will solve the problem
K9 may have fixed this bug by the time you read this (because that's what they do best) but as of June 24, 2009 k9 doesn't stand a chance of torturing us with their nearly impossible-to-remove garbage any longer.
