Antivirus Removal Tool

[AlexCa]

Hello everyone,

I've released a new version of Antivirus Removal Tool, version 2020.06 (v.1). This program started to be a functionality of Windows Repair Toolbox but, as more features were added, I've made it an independent program.

###Added
- Its own dedicated website: https://antivirus-removal-tool.com/

- Built-in check for new versions of the program.

- Multi-language support: Chinese (simplified), French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, English.

- Its own versioning scheme: as a rule of thumb this program will be updated once every month, but it can also be updated more frequently whenever is necessary. It will automatically check for the existence of an updated version when it starts.

- Updated the following uninstallers: Panda, Kaspersky, Emsisoft, AVG, Avast.

- Several internal improvements.

As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you!

Heads up. The Max secure uninstaller is detected by Defender's PUA protection.

Thank you for the heads up. I've submitted it to Microsoft for review, again. I've sent it in the past and got no detection at the time, but maybe I selected the wrong option ("Malware/malicious" instead of "Incorrectly detected as PUA (potentially unwanted application)").

BTW, those uninstallers (just like all the others included in the tool) are from the official websites.

Those for MaxSecure are from here: https://www.maxsecureantivirus.com/support/uninstall.htm

Hello everyone,

An updated version of Antivirus Removal Tool has been released, version 2020.12 (v.1).

### Fixed:
- When a third-party antivirus is detected by the application, Windows Defender shouldn't be shown in the currently installed antivirus section.
However, in some circumstances, it was shown anyway.

### Changed:
- Updated the following uninstallers: Avast, AVG, Emsisoft, Kaspersky, Mcafee, Norton, Symantec.

- Removed eventual duplicated entries from the currently installed antivirus section (these would occur because sometimes AV's leave or create duplicated entries in the WMI's database).

### Removed:
- Removed the uninstaller for MaxSecure due to PUA detection from Windows Defender.

Excellent! Any plans to do a remote-access removal tool?
