Removal of Defender Pro 2007!

[rookieman]

Has anybody here ever deleted defender Pro antivirus and firewall?I installed this on my sister's comp a few weeks ago and she don't like it.I'm thinking of replacing it with AVS and ZA Free 6.1.I'Perhaps I'm kinda being cautious because those 2 anti viruses are Kaspersky based.:( A registry cleaner maybe?

Defender Pro is a rebadged Kaspersky AV/Firewall & Ashampoo utilities isn't it?

[rookieman]

The antivirus is Kaspersky 5.As for the firewall i think your correct.

[rookieman]

I've only got the antivirus and the firewall installed.:(

If Defender Pro doesn't have an uninstaller,use Add/Remove Program thru Control Panel(in XP),reboot,use a trustworthy reg cleaner.

Due to the fact it was Kaspersky I was cautious.I emailed tech support about this and it wasn't that fast.Hi Tester thanks for your input.Once this comes off it's not going back on!:o

Would this seem effective enough if i wanted to install AVS after?I'm assuming that this would get rid of all it's traces.::)
