How to uninstall antivirus from your PC

Get rid of Avast, ESET NOD32, and another antivirus very quickly.

Sometimes it becomes a bit difficult to uninstall an antivirus through the traditional way, that is, through the uninstall tool included in Windows. There is a good reason for this, and that is that allowing the PC protection to be deactivated so easily puts the security of the entire system at risk. Fortunately, most antivirus software developers provide users with an uninstall tool for their products, allowing them to install their preferred security solution subsequently. Below are their download links and how to execute them.
