[QUOTE="AlexCa, post: 896039, member: 52267"] I've downloaded the latest version of Panda Free AV from here: [URL='https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/homeusers/free-antivirus/']Free antivirus for Windows and Android[/URL] And uninstalled it with its own uninstaller (Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs), as you described. After restarting, I ran a scan with ART, and leftover folders were detected. So, I thought that when you said "with their own uninstaller" you might be referring to the specialized uninstaller. So, I also did that test, and ART also detected some leftover folders. But even if it didn't detected any folders and there were still old drivers in the system, at that point (after running the specialized uninstaller) the program already did what it proposes itself to do. ART [U]doesn't do[/U] any additional cleaning besides what the specialized uninstaller do.
