AppRemover Removes Stubborn Security Applications

[sarcasticsteve]

Windows only: Security applications frequently make themselves quite a bear to truly remove. That's great when their stubbornness protects you from malicious software—not so great when you just want them gone.

AppRemover is a free application that specializes in stubborn, clingy security applications. Why would you want to remove security software? If you're replacing one security application with another or have a conflict between two security applications you have installed, it can be tricky to fully remove the offending application completely. AppRemover is a simple application with a basic wizard-driven menu system. It scans your system for security applications against an extensive list—you can view it here—and then you can remove all or selected security applications from your computer. AppRemover is freeware, Windows only.

Isn't McAfee one of the better security applications?

(aside it being free for my family)

[sarcasticsteve]

I never had issues with it when I used to use it, I just find Avast stronger and better

See that program up there that Steve linked? They made it because of programs like McAfee. Enjoy your aids.

Also, on a more serious note for your sake, McAfee being on the "better side of antivirus" is about as much of a joke as the program itself.

NOD32 anyone?

Crazy Slovaks serve me well.

Good stuff, I'm just too lazy to keep updating and cracking, so I switched to Avast.

Since we're on the subject of comparing AV apps while we're at it   How does AVG rate vs avast and nod32?

Norton used to suck, but the new versions don't anymore- they took a chainsaw to the memory footprint.  McAfee on the other hand... I am not a fan of.  It works, but it's slow and keeps telling me I have to "OMG VERIFY YUR SUBSCRIPTION".

Different strokes. I'd say after using AVG and Avast that they're about equal. I've just come to prefer Avast's notifications (text bubbles) vs. the popup AVG gives. I used NOD32, and it's great too, but it takes a bit more to customize it "out of the box" and like said, cracking each new version gets a bit annoying, you're just as well off using AVG/Avast unless you want the extras you can get from NOD.

Welcome to the internet, where if your not a hooting dickhole trying to make a point while simultaneously mocking someone else in a passive aggressive fashion, you just aren't doing it right.
