Antivirus Program Removal Thread

[acr1965]

I see a lot of people asking about removal utilities for specific antivirus products. And I figured maybe it would be a good idea to list some url's of these. I assume that some of these url's may change over time but they sould be good for now. If you have a removal utility of an av program please add it. Thanks.

Avast!

Only in Support of DrWeb. Non in open access. Probably soon... But you can find this means for Internet open spaces

Thanks for the responses. Keep them coming. Should I add the links you all have posted to my original post?

NOD32:

I don't think this is an "official" removal tool - but they are an ESET authorized partner

Nice list, acr1965.
could you edit your first post to add links to other tools submitted in later posts ?? That way a user doesn't have to search through the thread to find a particular removal tool.

Thanks again for taking the intiative and effort.

The ability to edit my first post is not available anymore for some reason. I agree though, I would like to add everything to the first post.

acr1965, this entire thread has been added to General Policy & Recommended Threads sticky at the top of the other anti-virus software subsection, via a link under Reporting & Resources.

This Can I edit my own posts? explanation states "Your ability to edit your posts may also be time-limited, depending on how the administrator has set up the forum" which I believe is 5 days (remember reading it somewhere but can't find it now).
