REMOVING anti-virus software? Free tools here (Windows / Mac OS X / Androïd)
devnullius:
Something ignored many times... Completely removing ALL traces of an anti-virus.
All techies have been there: a corrupted antivirus installation and nothing one can do to remove it and install a new antivirus.
I always manually Google for removal tools when needed, but I found these pages and actually kinda liked it ; )
