Most likely Kaspersky classifies us as a worm because we use the UPX executable packer. The next build will not do this - the exe will be a bit bigger but should not be flagged up. For uninstall/reinstall, I suggest you: Delete the folder (program files\freenet) Remove the registry key (or group of registry keys): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Freenet 0.7.0\ Delete the system service (from control panel?) Delete the start menu/desktop shortcuts if any. Sorry it took so long to deal with this.
