AVG Remover 2015

We’d compiled for once a list of antivirus removal tools many years ago. Such tools enable you to remove a failed installation or a damaged antivirus product. Till today, we still receive quite a handful of pageviews for that old article.

In order to get people to download nothing but the latest antivirus removal tools (in this case for version 2015 2016), we’ve decided to update the article with this new post. However, the list below is still a work in progress. Thus far, we have AVG Remover 2015, Norton Removal Tool 2015, Panda 2015 Generic Uninstaller and AppRemover. Still looking for such tools for Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Avira, Avast and other security products.

*17 December 2014 – Added Kaspersky Lab Products Remover
*4 June 2015 – Added ESET AV Remover
*28 December 2015 – Added Bitdefender 2016 Uninstall Tool and avastclear. Plus we update details on Norton Removal Tool and AppRemover
