Did you try version 2015? Raymond's instructions do not seem to work, at least not for me.

Raymond's original instructions about KVRT manual update are a few months old by now;I am Baas wrote:Did you try version 2015? Raymond's instructions do not seem to work, at least not for me.
in the comments section following the article, one of Raymond's readers recently noted:

From what I can tell, the FTP sites have been removed and replaced with easily accessible active web HTTP directories.
The old version of KVRT can no longer be updated, however; there is a newer and more simplified version available now:

Re: Kaspersky TDSSKiller
KVRT 15.0.19.0 uses system's Temp folder to "unpack", doesn't write (application specific keys) to the Registry, but creates KVRT_Data folder in your system's drive root (usually C:\) for license and report files. You can avoid the latter by launching the app using the -d "." parameter (as ghacks author wrote), which also allows you to save (in app's folder) and access the Reports later on (they are saved in encrypted form and you will need the app to read them).
So I think this one is definitely Portable.
I haven't tried to update the virus signatures database yet, but the website states:

Does it properly unload the driver after exit?

Re: Kaspersky TDSSKiller
I think so, I couldn't find any traces of that after the app was closed. Anyway, Kaspersky states that:
P.S. I could, however, find a driver (cleanhlp64.sys) that belongs to Emsisoft and wasn't unloaded after Emsisoft Emergency Kit was closed... Would appreciate a confirmation on that!If any problems occurred during the work of Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2015, temporary files will be removed after the computer is restarted.
The drivers are unloaded after the system restart.
