Description of the issue:

- Install Kaspersky antivirus on a system that doesn’t have Brave installed
- Download and run the Brave installer
- After the installer downloads setup.exe and tries to install it, it will hang and error out
- After that Kaspersky will prompt the user to disinfect the system and reboot
