Help! BitDefender won't Uninstall. The other day I went to install ESET Smart Security (NOD32) on a client's computer. They said that they let their previous BitDefender Antivirus Software subscription expire and rather than renewing their subscription, decided to give ESET Smart Security a try.
When we attempted to install the ESET Antivirus Software, the installer complained that "BitDefender Software" was still installed. I was also informed that it was removed from Add/Remove Programs, and that it no longer appears there as a choice for removal.
So, here is how I resolved the problem to remove all traces of BitDefender.
