[QUOTE="jv16, post: 1051023, member: 98343"] It depends whether the antivirus is protecting itself against removal. If it is, then you need to run its builtin uninstaller and let it do its job, and you can later use Uninstalr to see whether it finds any leftovers. Also, might be worth noting that Everything is only able to find file system leftovers. My WinFindr ([URL='https://winfindr.com/']WinFindr[/URL]) that I also used in this testing, can search for file system and registry leftovers, and by using multiple search terms at the same time. Everything seems to just die if you try to use it with too many search terms at the same time. [/QUOTE]
