‘Black list’ of key files is a Kaspersky Antivirus database that contains the information about key files which cannot be used by Kaspersky Lab software any more. There is some number of ways a key can end up in this database:

Corrupted
  • The key has been replaced with a new one as stolen;
  • The key has been replaced with a new one as malfunctioning;
  • The key was available on pirate servers (for free download).
  • The key has been replaced with a new one after being activated on a computer with incorrect system time/date;

Error Message:

The ‘black list’ of key files is named blst. This file is saved and downloaded along with databases (anti-spam, anti-virus, network attacks). Kaspersky Lab software cannot function without a ‘black list’ file.

Kaspersky Lab software notifies hereof and stops functioning:

  • if the file blst is damaged;
  • if there is no blst file on your PC;
  • if the Kaspersky Endpoint Security you have installed is using a key file from the ‘black list’;
