How to solve some problems when uninstalling an antivirus - video tutorial

Hi friends, in today's tutorial we will see together how do if we want to uninstall the software or a security suite which refuse to be uninstalled from the operating system. In many cases happened to you uninstall a security software that you probably will not like it but in the process have noticed that it refuses to uninstall from your operating system displaying some pop-ups that mentions that there is an error or lispeste a file.
This happens to a lot of people do not do correctly when he wants to uninstall antivirus. Everyone goes to the Start menu> Control Panel> Add / Remove Programs and uninstall wizard starts the software or security suite. You should know that when a security software or security suite runs in the background running some protection services, some files are used security software is basically in constant motion. Therefore when we want to uninstall security software, it warns us in various pop-ups as some services running or some files are in use and can not continue to uninstall it. Non-technical people began to shake and to blame the software, it's not good, it can not be uninstalled, not working out, she's getting all sorts of error messages actually not understanding the correct data security software in various pop- ups.
Here are the correct steps that must be completed before uninstalling a software or security suite:
- check the system tray icon (next to the clock) of the antivirus or security suite. Most software have the function of stopping services or protection, scanning and checking modules in the menu that will appear with a simple right click on the antivirus icon in the ystem tray. Protection services must be stopped.
- For some time, most security software and especially security suites have a module called Self Defense, the self-defense software or security suite against viruses that would try to stop or disable security software protection services. This module, depending on its complexity, can prevent the remote intervention of another user who would try to change the settings or stop running the security software. Self Defens is usually found in the advanced security software settings and must be disabled before uninstalling the security software.
- If, however, you have gone through all these steps and the security software refuses to complete the uninstall wizard then you will have to resort to the special software available at each manufacturer of antivirus, software or tools for uninstalling security suites. These can be found on the official website of each manufacturer.
That said, I invite you to watch the video tutorial to see exactly what the correct steps and how to proceed if the software or security suite, refuses to uninstall the operating system.

      What you say is the situation when the uninstall process fails. Reinstall and uninstall. When reinstalling, some programs did include the uninstall command. But if not ... no problem. Reinstall and then uninstall following the steps presented in the tutorial.
      After restarting the PC is indicated to clean sopecial system with a program created for that (CCleaner, Auslogics, WinUtilities, TuneUp etc).

    So it happened cucomodo internet security we hardly got out of it I uninstalled revouninstaler pro and all in vain, before I stopped him in the system tray after I rebooted the PC what do you think happened? run firewall so I have seen, until I went in c-program files and took all the files in a row to delete and I and turned to unlocker Some were blocateca to speak nis got away so easily but in the end I managed, I said I do not have comodo and I've just installed to make him a sample to see how it goes and I saw.

    everything is solved calmly, if you give time and analyze a little problem. Your procedure was not correct but if you say you got rid of it ... please ...

  • Yes it's easier with Revo Uninstaller? Give you a trial antivirus know that yes as you want to install again, no longer can. Revo Uninstaller erase everything and you can install antivirus software. Mp. me it's easier.

      Revo can and, tutorial but these steps are identical. The process is executed:
      - deactivate the program - uninstall with the utility offered by the manufacturer (the cleanest procedure) or with the Windows procedure (from the Control Panel) or with the uninstall command from the respective program (not all programs have something like that) or with a special program created for that something (your example Revo).
      Please note that uninstalling the tutorial is a process developed in stages, in which mandatory first step is to disable the program (applies to all active programs in PC memory).

    If Comodo IS:
    - first of all, you have to turn off, in turn, all the modules (put on "Disable" Firewall, Antivirus, Defense +, Sandboxie; this is done by right-clicking on the icon on the bottom right;
    - then right click on the icon on the bottom right and "Exit"
    - after that go to the comodo program menu (from the Start -Comodo menu or from the folder located in the C - Programs partition) and choose the "Add and Remove components" command and uninstall the program by selecting the "Remove" option.
    Restart PC.
    Warning: if you use / run Sandboxie (ie if you open any file / program with Sandboxie) then do the following:
    - enter partition C
    - set from "folder and search option" - "Wiew" so that the hidden files are visible (check the "Show hidden ..." option)
    - then delete the VirtualBox folder, or something like that.
    If you also set the DNS, enter the "Network connection" settings and set it to automatically obtain the DNS.

  • if you were a little careful when you downloaded that tool and you specify that it must be run in safe mode, then you no longer need to disable the modules / software protection, etc ...

    A good and as you have shown, there are many who make blunders when uninstalling antivirus programs.

      So it is. But I mean those who can not get into Safe Mode (even if you do not believe it, ironically, there are many).

      Bay bay- I understand that you doubt Mr. Adrian GUDUS? AND the effort he made here? Do you doubt in one way or another and Mr. Cristian? Do you doubt the help you have? Do you offer it every day? Read approximately every 24 hours a new tutorial in which you will learn something-EVEN IF YOU WIN SOMETHING FROM THIS OR ..- NO..DON'T IMAGINE HOW LITTLE- WIN- ? EVEN IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO EARN ... I DON'T DO IT JUST FOR MONEY. - .. BUT FOR WHAT THEY LIKE ... AND THEIR DESIRE TO GIVE AWAY ..this site is not only for those who are very advanced-but for those who are novices-let's not forget that-those who they are learned or advanced - they don't even put it in anymore, it means this site ..because they know for themselves what they have to do ....
      WE HAVE A SELFISH TENDENCY ... that when we learn something..to forget where we learned..why? Are we ashamed that we were somehow ignorant?

      • Daniela Balan:

        No offense, I think you do a great confusion when you say that I doubt, runs through 2008-2009 back as you have to find my own comments here, I do not go here 2,5 years is another story.

        I never said it's the doubt, it was specified that the right way dezinsrtalare home.

        A pleasant evening.

  • I also have a problem between Avira and Avast, namely I don't know which antivirus would be better. I installed Avast and the pica umpic system, each umpic in the sense that it started from those errors that contained the options Don't send, Debug, details and Send report, to the Control panel where not all the programs were displayed. I think these things were caused by Avast because it also found viruses in the Windows directory. I am waiting for an answer.

    • Alexander Cozaciuc:
      I have a queries between Avira and Avast antivirus namely not know what would be better. I installed Avast and Systema drop a tad, tad in that many of the errors began Dont'e send aceleacare contains options, Debug, and details Send report until the control panel where all the programs were not displayed. I think these things were caused because of Avast because he found viruses in Windows directory. Waiting for an answer.

      I do not think your propblemele caused by Avast!.

      Do a full scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and DrWebCureIT.

      Usage Malwarebytes'Anti-Malware:
      - is saved on the desktop
      - is installing
      - at the end of the installation, check the following: Update Malwarebytes 'Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Then press Finish
      - after launching the program, click on the Update tab and click the Check for Updates button to check if the downloaded definitions are the last
      - click on the Scanner tab, select Perform full scan and then click on Scan
      - at the end of the scan press OK and then Show Results
      - everything must be checked from the detection list and then click Remove Selected
      - at the end a file will open in Notepad with the scan results where you can see what this utility did
      - everything that is deleted will be found in Quarantine

      Usage Dr.Web CureIt !:
      - is saved on the desktop
      - it is not installed but it is simply run with a click on its icon (it is only an executable)
      - remove the Internet cable
      - the real-time protection (shield) of the antivirus installed on the PC stops
      - it is scanned full with this utility
      - initially, when running, Dr.Web CureIt! an Express Scan begins. Press the Stop button on the right when it is green. Then check the Complete Scan on the left and so on the right on the green Play button.
      - at the end of the scan, all the detected files are disinfected / deleted
      - PC restart, antivirus protection is activated, internet cable is connected.

      If you do not get rid of viruses, do scans in Safe Mode.

      After you get rid of viruses clean pc with a specialized program for it (CCleaner, Auslogics, WinUtilities, TuneUp etc.).

  • Useful tutorial! Congratulations!
    Speaking of Safe Mode, it is recommended to uninstall any? When it's better to use safe mode?
    In this case (and others) would be interesting which is more efficient: a tool RevoUninstaller or site owner?

      It's simple: it's more efficient to use the "proprietary tool" used in "Safe Mode".

      "Speaking of Safe Mode, is it recommended for any uninstallation?" = Almost always recommended.
