Windows 7 - AV Uninstallers

**whs**

For most AV programs it is required to use a specific uninstaller for a complete removal of the AV program.
I found this list of uninstallers somewhere (I do not even remember where) and thought it would be useful to place it into this tutorial section.

Update: I just learned that the list was compiled by fredvries. And there is even more at this link.

I am glad you guys may find some use for it. But let me again point out that I did not personally compile the list. Someone had posted it a while ago somewhere in some other context - could have been Corinne. But that post had long disappeared from the radar screen and I thought it would be ashame if the list did not get more use. I use it in my teachings at the computer club.

another one for you: Zone Alarm http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/fr...cpes_clean.exe (WARNING: it is a direct link to the file, i can't seem to be able to find the "info" page, the link is from here: ZoneAlarm User Community - View Single Post - zonealarm removal tool its for use after a "normal" uninstall if your still having problems)

@ whs/Wolfgang

Thank you for posting part of the RaProduct's Ultimate List of Uninstallers. You can find the complete list here.

A simple google-search would have revealed this information.

**fredvries** · 04-17-2010

@ severedsolo: ZoneAlarm is already in the list.

**Corrine** · 04-17-2010

whs -- the original was compiled by Fred de Vries (one of the JavaRa developers). See Ultimate List of Uninstallers.

Fred's lists of uninstallers includes the following:
[1] Having trouble uninstalling programs from your computer?
[2] Uninstallers for Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Programs
[3] Uninstallers for Other Programs
[4] Uninstallers for Drivers

Oops! I see Fred saw the link & already replied. Welcome to Seven Forums, Fred!

Thanks guys for reminding me where the list originated because I did not remember. But I just thought it might be handy in our tutorial section. And I did not Google it, that's for sure.

Excellent too. Thank you, Wolfgang. I have it bookmarked.
