AntiVirus applications and other security software are integrated into the system deeply, so while uninstalling some of these programs may leave files behind. It is nearly impossible for the average user to hunt these files and remove all the files. There are some uninstall applications like Revo Unistaller that are good at uninstalling applications effectively.
AppRemover is a free program that will remove popular security applications with ease. Run the application it will scan your system and displays the list of applications installed. Select the one you want to uninstall to remove from your computer.
