[QUOTE="AlexCa, post: 891090, member: 52267"] Hey pxxb1, actually it was because of a test I did with that tool that I started to write AVLeftovers (the Windows Repair Toolbox functionality that evolved to what is now this program). In the tests I did at the time, I installed and removed successively five different Antivirus (Avast, AVG, Avira, McAfee and Norton), and then run Eset AV Remover and it indicated that there we’re no leftovers found, while there were plenty (directories and drivers left by the regular uninstallers). My guess is that it will probably only detect in the case of a seriously broken uninstall.
