    Re: How to Uninstall Antivirus and Firewalls

    Couple of years ago, maybe more, I tried the Avira Premium Security Suite in one of my PCs, used it for about one week, uninstalled it and tried another security programs.

    When months ago I decided to install and keep the ESET Smart Security (ESS-5) in that same PC, I got a warning that Avira was installed there and I should uninstall it before continuing with ESS.

    I stopped ESS installation and started looking for Avira but couldn't find anything.

    So, I installed Avira Premium Security Suite again and uninstalled it using a program intended for that, but when back to install ESS, same warning. So I ignored it and continued the ESS installation.

    However, couple of days ago I was testing program SIW (System Info for Windows) and when entering its Security section I discovered it reported an Avira Firewall, installed and active, along with the ESS firewall.

    I have used all resources I know —even I entered registry and used the Avira Registry Cleaner and deleted all Avira mentions found there— but no way: that Avira Firewall keeps showing up as installed and active in my PC, according to SIW. It also shows the Windows firewall but inactive.

    Does anybody know how can find and delete that Avira Firewall, without having to format an reinstall my Windows XP Professional?

    I never have been with Avira's any product but just to help you, you can try running the Avira Regcleaner. Search in Google and download it from anywhere. Once done, check out this article and follow the steps give. Hope you get helped.
