I am also having the same problem. All of a sudden, after several crashes on a new notebook I had to do a total system recovery and reinstall win 8.1 again. It worked for about 1 week and started doing the same thing again. The notice said k7 security needed to be updated.
I did not install this program and cannot find it to uninstall it. I have t assume that it came with win 8.1 and I am not happy! Is there a reason MS would add this program in and then hide it so it cannot be uninstalled? I did find an uninstall program on K7's site, but I still don't know that this is safe to use, since I had never heard of this program or company before I started having problems after the win 8.1 upgrade. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Same thing going on with me. My random K7 Security Program says that it has crashed 14 time(s) since 4/20/2014. I'm seeing this through a message through Action Center. I have no clue why this is on here. Seems to be stumping everyone else as well. I hope this forum will get more popular and Microsoft will do something about this.
I'm all about security, but this makes me uncertain about if Microsoft is all about security too. I've done just about everything to find this 'K7 Program', but nothing worked.
I'll stay on this forum and wait for any updates. GG Microsoft.

I just updated to Windows 8.1 and lo and behold I got K7 update errors too. Any possibility that you got a K7 infection from a site you visited?
Nowadays, without a few layers of protection and a little luck things can install themselves, e.g., from scripts run by ads, without checking with you. Don't I recall the msn site, complete with ads, is the default home page? It's one of the reasons I add the MVPS hosts file very early in my installation process. Most ad sites are simply blocked. Since you know what you're doing, have you identified any specific files that have to do with this 'K7' infection?
Others can verify whether they have them on their systems.Noel Detailed how-to in my eBooks.
