Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software


Running two antivirus products on the same computer can cause system instability and degraded performance. It is very important that any previously installed antivirus software is uninstalled from your system before proceeding with any installation of another security product.

As a typical uninstall performed using the Windows removal tool (Add/Remove Programs) is often insufficient, we have provided the recommended removal tools* for several other manufacturers of antivirus software. For your convenience, these removal tools can be downloaded directly from the following sites:
