Comprehensive antivirus removal tools
Roy
One of my friends have difficulty removing/uninstalling malwarebytes
antimalware completely and therefore he can't instal other antivirus
to his PC.
BTW
He is not happy with malware bytes and therefore want to get rid of it
and install NOD 32 or kaspersky.
He is asking also if there is an easy way to do it also without going
to safe mode and tweaking the registry?
And if there is only one way could he possibly know the detailed
procedure to do it?
Thanks!
Regards

program not an antivirus program, not as far as I'm aware anyway.
Did he go to Add/Remove to try, by the way what Operating System is he
using?

I don't really know completely what he's doing with his PC...but from
what I hear , part of the problem probably was a neglected antivirus
that was not updated well as using two antimalware systems in his pc.
( malware bytes?)
Further he installed the AVG version 8.5 over version 8.0 asits not
updating anymore but its not working as it kept telling there are
other AVs in his PC that is interfering with installation.
For the AVG he used the removal utilty from the website but can't do
the same with the other.
He just want to get rid of any antimalware in his PC before he want
to reinstal the latest version of AVG.

I'd be leaving MalwareBytes installed. It runs
happily alongside NOD and Kaspersky.

Would it not pose conflict if he goes with the complete version such
as ESET Smart Security v.4 and Kaspersky Internet Security version 9?
Practically those other AVs are his options but He is keen
reinstalling the AVG as he still had a license on it....

What other AVs - you may need to get removal tools from their sites.

AVG shouldn't have any problem with any additional antimalware (not
antivirus) programs. Conflicting antivirus programs should have removal
tools on their respective websites.

The 'on-access" antivirus scanning portion of those may conflict with
AVG's "on-access" scanner.
When his license finally does expire, those are good choices (but I
don't like "suites" generally).

completely then reinstal the other AV choices but not necessariy the
complete packages ?
AFAIK from our conversation, he ( my friend)does not like to use the
windows firewall either and wants third party proggies for such....
But as he had already good experience with AVG security , I presume he
would keep it that way....
BTW I using Kaspersky Internet security and really find this suite to
be an iron clad protection for my internet transactions....
Not quite happy with just the KAV running and using the default
windows firewall...
Just the same thingwith NOD32 AV, in my other PC I used the Smart
Suite and offers competitive protection for internet transactions...
That is why I share the preference of my friend in using the complete
packages.....instead of just basic antivirus protections

No, but you can infer that if you wish. I feel AVG is adequate
protection for free or if you have a paid subscription. I feel also that
Eset and Kaspersky are *better* - but I don't like all the bundled
"value added" stuff in the suites.

He needs a clue (and possibly a bag to put it in).

Suites are good for those who like them - all parts working together
with a common interface - and only one company to deal with when things
go wrong - but many prefer to have what they consider to be the *best*
in each category and no suite has achieved this goal yet AFAIK.

To each his own, so they say...
The Windows firewall works just fine in XP and Vista and is the one I
would choose.

There is nothing wrong with doing things that way if that is your (or
his) preference.

You only want 1 anti virus program running in real time on a computer and
one firewall, you can have more than one antispyware program though.
I'm running Vista and have NOD32 anti virus, the inbuilt firewall, Windows
Defender and SuperAntiSpyware Pro and they all live happily together.
My XP machine has Avast free anti virus, Windows Defender, the inbuilt
firewall, SuperAntiSpyware Pro, SpywareBlaster and MalwareBytes and again
they all run happily together.

IIRC he had winXP professional Sp3
He is not just too good with pc I think.....
From my side I don't use multiple antimalware tools either....Past
experienced had taught me that....
to keep it simple and focus on the tools that works best on your
system..

Just use the uninstaller. if for some reason it doesn't work, we have a
removal utility you can get from the website in my signature.
Malwarebytes is NOT an antivirus, and is not intended to replace one, but
rather be used with one.

If he is not happy with our program, and is a valid registered user; He
can contact us via the site for a refund. We don't want anyone to feel as
if they have been cheated.

Our program doesn't really make that many changes to your registry, but
we will not intentionally have you manually edit the registry; We don't
want to take a chance on an inexperienced user making things far worse.

I know, I know.. the last place you'd even think! of looking would be the
developers website; what would we know about it, right? :)
