First - get a copy of a shareware / free trial of a registry cleaner (Ace Utilities is as good  as any ... see link).  Install registry cleaner - then reboot computer to safe mode.  Delete all program files for the anti-virus program you want to get rid of.  Run registry cleaner to remove all registry entries of the program - and that should do it.  Good luck!

Just run your virus scan program and delete it from there, like Nortons or McAfee.  If you dont have an up to date virus program, you can find a great one for free here... http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1  Hope this helps!

My computer>Control panel>Add-Remove programs (you can uninstall it from there by selecting its name in there and selecting the uninstall option). Optionally you can try to navigate to the McAfee's folder (generally under c:&#92;program files&#92;).. there might be an uninstall.exe file in there

Go to start->control panel->add/remove programs and remove it from the list. another option is install a program called windows installer cleanup (assuming you have windows) and select it from the list. If it is not, do not uninstall anything on that list if you don't no what it is! click the link below and scroll down until you see the "DownloadDownload the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now" link which is in the middle of the page.

Start menu > run > type in : msconfig.\nIn the new dialog box that will appear, choose the start up tab where you will find a list of all the programs that run on you start up. Uncheck whatever you like. I suggest that you leave your antivirus checked.

First you have to disable your anti virus program as widows will not uninstall a program that is is use.\nPress keys Control/ Alt/ Delete, under running processes click on your anti virus program and then click end process. then you should be able to uninstall it.

Yes, go to 'Add/Remove Programs' in the Control Panel.\nRemove the undesired program.\nIf the program folder is still listed in your Program Files, delete that too.\n\nMake sure your virus software is updated and do a full scan to make sure there aren't reinstallers for it on your computer.

You'll have to go into Add/Remove Programs. Go to Settings on your start menu, then select Control Panel. Then open Add/Remove Programs and look for the unwanted program and select remove. \nIf it is one of those viruses, then it will re-install itself. I agree with suggestions for getting a good internet security package. I use Norton.

Use STINGER:\n\nhttp://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/\n\nIt's a virus removal program that can remove most all the major viruses.

Like what? Contact your company and ask them. Usually the only thing you might download from them would be the anti virus utility they supply (if they do)
