Well yes but i tried to switch it off and then run GPU-Z
And the exact error message is: Could not start driver: The system cannot find the file specified.

kaspersky and GPU-Z have played nice in a long time, i've personally tested version 8.0 and 9.0 recently

Why are you running 2+ year old versions of an antivirus product anyway?

At present version 7.0 suits me with all. Manufacturers still support this version. Why to you not to make correct interaction with antivirus KAV7? Now the computer is "frozen" at start GPU-Z and it is necessary to use the button Reset.

p.s.: sorry for my English

you are intentionally choosing to use an outdated version of a product, which cause incompatibilities with GPU-Z.

You simply have to choose: update kaspersky, or dont use GPU-Z.

Its a problem a KNOWN problem with the old versiopn of the antivirus. I seriously doubt that their will be an update to GPU-Z to fix conpatability with a very old antivirus. If you dont upgrade kaspersky you wont be able to use GPU-Z its simple really.

EDIT: Actually you should be able to add it to your "exceptions" list.
