I'd like to share an interesting application that allows to uninstall dozens of different antivirus programs from a computer system. It can help for example in case you have to remove an antivirus applications in case of errors during removal or when you need to replace a security application with another . The AppRemover program is a portable software , free for your personal, non-commercial, use. Supported Operating Systems : Windows 2000, 2003, XP (32 / 64 bit), Vista (32 / 64 bit), 2008, Windows 7 beta Antivirus & Antispyware Applications removed : Support Charts Link : AppRemover
I support your views. There might be a few system-specific settings which might go unnoticed by a generic universal thingy. It is also little risky considering the version updates of individual AVs and obsolescence if any of the generic tool.
