Before installing BitDefender you should first remove your previous antivirus solution. Most of the anti-viruses you can remove when doing this:


Go to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove programs and run the uninstaller. I’ve posted for some anti-viruses uninstallers that are offered by their vendors:


Avast: Avast


AVG: AVG or using this tool and here the 64 bit version.


Norton: Norton


Mcafee: Mcafee


Kaspersky: Kaspersky


Panda: Panda


Trend Micro:Trend Micro


Norman: Norman


Even when you use the uninstaller there will still be leftovers. To solve that problem I suggest that you download the following software:



CCcleaner: CC Cleaner


(Do not forget to uncheck yahoo toolbar during installation)


Start CCleaner by double clicking on the shortcut, navigate to the clean function (cleaner) and run cleaner. It can take a while before it finishes. After that, go to Issues, scan for issues and, when the scan is finished, select Fix selected issues. Confirm the message for making a backup. To fix everything press on Fix every issue.


Regcleaner: Regcleaner


Start RegCleaner, when you are in the main menu check (select) every reference from your previous vendor (e.g : Panda Software or Panda Antivirus+Antispam,…) and press on Remove selected. Do that also for start up list.


Reboot your PC afterwards.
