It can however happen that errors occur during the process which can be problematic mainly because of the deep system integration of those software programs. Many antivirus developers have therefor created special uninstallers for their antivirus software programs to remove every file, changes and Registry entries from the target computer system. We covered antivirus software removal tools in our overview not long ago. It is also possible to rely on third party applications like Revo Uninstaller to remove the files and Registry settings of those antivirus programs from the system.

A rather new option is the universal antivirus software uninstaller AppRemover which can remove dozens of different security programs from a computer system. The main advantage for users is that they do not have to hunt down the removal tool for their specific application (some developers offer several tools that only work with specific editions).

The portable software program that is compatible with Microsoft operating systems from Windows 2000 to the latest Windows 7 Beta (including 64-bit editions of XP and Vista) can be run right after download. It will scan the computer system for security software programs and display all that have been found in a list. It is possible to remove all or only selected ones from the system.

Antivirus and security software programs from many popular developers are supported by the program including applications created by AVG, Avira, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Lavasoft, McAfee, Microsoft, Panda, PC Tools, Sophos, Symantec and Trend Micro. It is very likely that the currently installed program is among the supported ones.
