How To Remove A Program On Windows XP

Hi my name is Danny from PC Paramedics and today I'll be showing you some tricks and tips for your computer. Okay, to start we're going to click on "Start" and then we'll want to go to Control Panel. Control Panel on Windows Vista and on Windows XP are in exactly the same place.

You would enter Control Panel here. Okay, now on Windows XP, to remove a program you would click on Add or Remove Programs. In Control Panel, the icons will be in alphabetical order.

In Windows Vista, it's not called Add or Remove Programs, it's called Programs and Features. Okay, once you've opened Add or Remove Programs, it will take a few seconds for a list for all the programs on your PC. Today we are removing BitDefender Antivirus 2009.

I'm going to scroll down to the list, find the antivirus, and click remove. Okay, once you click remove--"Are you sure you want to remove BitDefender Antivirus from your computer?"--Yes. This process will now start to remove BitDefender from my computer.

Although we are removing BitDefender Antivirus today, it would only be recommended to remove your antivirus program if you are installing another antivirus program. Okay, this is taking a few moments to remove. It looks for all the files associated with BitDefender, it finds those, and deletes them for you.

At this point, all you need to do is wait. Okay, once this process is finished, it will ask you if you want to restart your computer, and you simply click "Yes" to restart your computer, it will now reboot and the BitDefender will now be removed. .
