I am of a similar mind if this is where you are going. If the reason to remove is their admitted spyware within the application, then you should treat the computers with it installed as compromised, format, and move on. I agree with what others have said though. Take one as a test box, find the pieces that need removed by manually doing it on that box. If you find the basic registry entries and locations of files you should be able to write a script to remove both that you can apply to all the workstations. Even something as simple as a unneeded registry key.Įnough of the tools, learn some regedit, and file find. While this might seem like overkill it really is the only way to be sure any program is removed since many factors can prevent it from completely. If you are in a situation where you need to be able to ensure it was completely removed such as a government computer or something that requires documentation stating it was without doubt removed then you're left with wiping the harddrive and reloading the OS from scratch. I very rarely even need to go beyond REVO in most cases. I've use those tools in so many situation and they've worked extremely well. These are what I would use in most situations in this order of need. Even if simply wanting to switch to something else and not have more than one running at the sametime. With that said it's unlikely that this is an issue but it can be reasonable to want to take precautions. Kaspersky has on more than one occasion stressed that they are independent and have even moved to another country to prove it.
