Additionally, we would like to advise that we have automated solutions for not yet rebooted (the network works) as well as for already rebooted machines (the network is not available).
Please send a private message to (KL CentralSupport user) in order to get this fix.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience with the false positive detection of the tcpip.sys.

Method 1:
The computer has not been restarted, the network works:
Update anti-virus databases, make sure it is done and applied.
Run kaspersky_tcpip_fix.exe with administrator permissions.
Check if file tcpip.sys has been restored in folder C:\Windows\system32\drivers.
If file has not been restored, manually restore it from Quarantine.
If your network uses special settings (does not apply through DHCP), then:
Run regextr.exe <path to the backup of the SYSTEM hive – usually %windir%\system32\config\Regback\SYSTEM> <output reg-file e.g. extract.reg> with administrator permissions.
Run (apply) file extract.reg.
Reboot PC.
Method 2:
The computer has rebooted, the network is not available:
Disable anti-virus protection in case to exclude detection of file again.
Run kaspersky_tcpip_fix.exe with administrator permissions.

If file has not been restored, manually restore it from Quarantine.
