Was incompatible with Windows system ; customer service was non-existent...had to email them the problem and took 3 days to get a reply.
Unable to uninstall and tries to scan constantly; cannot adjust settings and computer speed had diminished to non-existent. I have to replace my computer and it's only 3 years old. Best Buy and Kaspersky refuses to refund or correct the problem. For $200 geek squad fee, I'd rather put that money toward a new system.

What's not so great: took 3 installs and still not working

How to stop Geek Squad and Antivirus renewal popups

I bought a laptop at Best Buy in Aug 2013 and took 2 year Geek Squad service plan and 2 years of Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS). I am getting pop-ups to renew both 2 years early. One popup is to renew Geek Squad for a 3rd year and get a 3rd year of Kaspersky Antivirus (not KIS) .for $100. Another popup is get a 3rd year of Kaspersky Antivirus (not KIS) for $20. When I called Geek Squad to ask how to stop them, no one seemed to be able to tell me how and they wanted to do a remote log-in. My sense is that if they knew how, they could tell me rather than need to scour my system hunting for the answer..

Does anyone here know?

The last time a Geek Squad agent did a remote log-in, he did a tune-up that did more harm than good. It took me several hours to recustomize the settings he reverted to default settings, and he deleted a file that was given to me by Microsoft that took me two hours to download for a repair that Microsoft did, which Geek Squad (understandably, given the complexity) failed at. However, I will never again hand over a machine to someone I can’t speak with.

This should be a very simple matter, one that does not require remote log-in by Geek Squad. I hope someone reading this question knows how to stop the pop-ups They cannot be stopped with a pup-up blocker as each seems to be a new window opened by the program itself, i.e., KIS).
Your problem is the Kaspersky. It will not allow you to uninstall, it will not allow you to control pop-ups and it will eventually crash your system.
