How To Completely Remove Anti-Virus Software

Which is your favorite Anti Virus application? As far as I am concerned it’s ESET NOD32 but if you had asked me this question few months back, definitely I would have been in a state of dilemma while answering it. It took me quite a bit of time to figure which Anti-virus is best suited to me. During this whole process of identifying the best, I ran across hell lot of antivirus applications, tried each one of those and finally ended up with frequent install-uninstall process. But then I found that even though you have uninstalled your antivirus throughWindows Add/Remove utitlity, yet there are few files and registry entries that remain and are left untouched. Now the question is how to remove those?

Apparently, I am not going to write about each and every AntiVirus Removal Tool here but certainly about 5 most common and vastly used ones.
