How to remove a third-party anti-virus application from your computer

You can uninstall third-party anti-virus applications using:

• Microsoft Windows tools. This method does not require you to install or start additional applications, but it may not completely remove the anti-virus application. Remaining files may interrupt the installation or affect the operation of your Kaspersky application.
• Special tools from the developers of the anti-virus application. We recommend using this method, as it is the safest and allows you to completely remove third-party anti-virus applications from your computer.
• Third-party uninstaller tools. An uninstaller is an application designed specifically to remove other applications. This method allows you to completely remove third-party anti-virus applications from your computer, but requires you to install the uninstaller tool beforehand.

You can find the list of incompatible applications in the following articles:

• Kaspersky Security Cloud
• Kaspersky Internet Security
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus
• Kaspersky Total Security
• Kaspersky Small Office Security
