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 ; )
