[QUOTE="plat, post: 932545, member: 74969"] [USER=31436]@roger_m[/USER] : sorry, too lazy myself to check this right now, but have you found HiBit to be comparable in successfully removing name-brand antivirus remnants? Like all of them: drivers, registry keys, folders. I figure: if you already have something like HiBit (or other good uninstaller), you would not need to d/l yet something again. I think drivers for many software have been improved. It used to be that a corrupted driver would increase the chances of having to reinstall Windows.
