If for any reason you need to remove Avira AntiVir, here we’ll show you how to completely uninstall Avira Antivirus (no leftover files) from your computer. Avira antivirus is one of the most popular antivirus software on the market, but it has the same uninstalling problem most antivirus software have. If you’re switching to another antivirus program or perhaps you just need to reinstall Avira antivir, the very first step is, of course, uninstall Avira Antivir. But if you uninstall Avira antivir using “Add or Remove Program” (or “Uninstall a program”) provided by Windows, you cannot expect it to be completely cleaned, there will be some leftover files which might cause problems for future installation/usage.  If you’re facing such a problem, use one of the free tools below to remove avira antivir completely.

Avira Antivir Removal Tool

To solve the problem, Avira has came up with a removal tool to completely uninstall Avira AntiVir. This uninstaller package is available for Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP users. Windows 98 and ME users will need to first download “Microsoft Layer for Unicode” from this link. After using this tool, optionally you can also remove all leftover registry files from your registry using AntiVir Registry Cleaner. Removing the registry leftovers helps you to prepare your system for a new and clean Avira AntiVir installation.

Third-party Uninstaller

If the above removal tool doesn’t work for you, you may want to use third-party uninstaller such as Revo Uninstaller and AppRemover to uninstall Avira AntiVir. These tools are specifically designed to do clean uninstallation for any program and app. Although it has no guarantee that a program can be removed successfully, but they are widely used by computer geeks. We’ve personally tried these tools to uninstall Avira Antivir and it works perfectly. All files and folders, as well as registry leftovers, were completely deleted. To make sure everything is removed, you can use registry cleaner like registry easy and registry booster to do a complete registry clean up (it helps to speed up your computer as well).

After using the tools above and you’re still seeing some unknown leftovers, they could be the damages done by one of the viruses that crashes your software. If you have the ability to track down these files, you should remove them manually and immediately. Also, make sure to enable “Show hidden files and folders” properties before trying to locate these files. Contact Avira if necessary.
