In other articles we wrote about the best programs to uninstall software, without using the Windows " installation Applications " menu and how to update programs even when there are errors in the removal of the previous version.
A type of programs that have always been scabby and difficult to remove is that of antivirus which, even if uninstalled with their nice uninstall program, still leave signs of their presence and, in some cases, cause annoyances and slowdowns on the computer.
Taking a step back, the problem we are talking about is that related to files and registry keys, related to a removed application, which still remain on the PC even if no longer used.
This is because the standard uninstallation is often intentionally incomplete and software manufacturers are always keen to leave traces of the presence of their products.
Antivirus software installed on a computer tends to add some of their components in depth to the operating system because they must guarantee the most complete protection possible from various threats and viruses.
As mentioned, it sometimes happens that the normal procedure for uninstalling an antivirus, perhaps because it does not like it or because the free trial "trial" period has expired, is not completely successful and does not lead to the removal of the software.
As the antivirus modifies and creates new files in the heart of the system, problems and errors may arise due to this situation and, above all, the installation of another new antivirus could be prevented.
It becomes necessary and urgent therefore to clean the computer from these errors and blocking files and to avoid that the PC remains without a functional and active protection.
I don't know why the manufacturers of the main security systems often do not equip their programs with a complete removal program, the fact is that these tools exist and can be downloaded for free from official sites.
These tools effectively remove traces of antivirus software from your computer and perform a series of processes to delete files, registry settings and restore many other parameters and options that have been changed or implemented by antivirus software during its installation.
To do and uninstall almost any antivirus or security suite, you can use the AppRemover program which, in its most recent version, has been enhanced and renewed with a new and simpler interface.
You can choose to remove an antivirus completely or to cancel a failed installation .
The program is free for Windows and works automatically to eliminate programs such as: McAfee, Kaspersky, AVG, Avast, Avira, ESET, GDATA, Kingsoft, Panda, Symantec, Lavasoft, TrendMircro, TrustPort, Norman, Webroot, ClamWin.
Another excellent program to remove antivirus and security programs that you cannot uninstall manually is Antivirus Remover, a free, easy-to-use program to download and run the uninstallation programs of the most popular antivirus programs.
To make it effective, you need to run the program in safe mode with the network enabled.
The program makes a list of all the uninstallers available so just select the one you want to download and run it.
A third program released in 2015 that works well to remove all types of antivirus without difficulty and automatically is Eset AV remover .
Antivirus and security programs such as Avast, Avira, AVG, BitDefender, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, Norton, Panda, Symantec and Trend Micro can be uninstalled to name a few.
