Title: AVIRA ANTIVIRUS
Post by: ivanoe on September 16, 2016, 02:55:23 AM

I have just installed AVIRA ANTIVIRUS , and then decided that I preferred the one I had. so I am trying to get rid of it.  I have  C CLEANER //and REVO, on my pc.
both of which are excellent at removing programmes, they also tell you what programs you have installed. avira is not in any of them, also programmes /features it is not there I cant' find it anywhere. but if I go to the search bar on the task bar , 7/8 mentions of avira are there but it wont' let me delete it. how do I get rid of it.everytime I turn on my pc its' there    security alert
  it is there now as I type this email.  can somebody please help.
