Disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 Welcome Screen on every start up.

I've installed the new KIS 2014 on my Win8.1Pro a couple days ago and noticed that every time I restart computer an annoying KIS Welcome Screen appears. We can see a "disable this message" option on that screen but looks like it's not working because I selected it and same screen appears on every start up.

I read somewhere that the reason for that is because I'm using a trial key (the OEM 90 days key from november_ra1n).

So I found out a way to remove that annoying welcome screen.

 

1- Go Safe Mode.
2- Run Regedit.
3- Go [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP14.0.0].
4- Modify HidePromo to 1 (disable). If there's no HidePromo, create a new String Value "REG_SZ" with Value name: HidePromo and Value data: 1.
