How to remove a third-party anti-virus application before installing a Kaspersky Lab product

You can delete 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. Any files that are not removed properly may interrupt the installation of your Kaspersky Lab product.
• 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.
