Install antivirus software and it digs deep into your system, spreading roots everywhere: new Windows services, startup programs, drivers, more. That's just fine while you're using the program. But if you uninstall it, then it's important to remove every remnant, otherwise you can face major problems later.
At the simplest you might have orphaned components, still launched at boot time, wasting RAM and system resources. Depending on what these are, you may also see PC stability issues, crashes or unexpected errors. But the real complication can come when other antivirus tools detect these leftovers. For example, in the past we've had security programs refuse to install on one PC because they'd "conflict with BullGuard", even though we'd actually removed BullGuard from that system long ago.
You could try to address this manually. A good place to start might be to search your system for folders related to the antivirus leftovers: in our case, for instance, any folder name containing "BullGuard". If there's, say, a \Program Files\BullGuard folder, and it doesn't contain any executable files, then delete it, reboot, and the problem may be resolved.
Be careful, though. If you don't notice a subfolder containing a driver or service, and that's required for some other driver stored elsewhere, then you could find your PC will no longer boot. Not even into Safe Mode (oops).
If you'd prefer a simpler and safer life, then, it might be a better idea to get some third-party assistance in the shape of AppRemover. This clever tool requires no installation itself, so it won't clutter your PC even further. And when you run it, AppRemover can scan for failed uninstalls of all the main security software: avast!, AVG, Avira, BullGuard, Computer Associates, Eset, F-Secure, IObit, Kaspersky, Lavasoft, Malwarebytes, McAfee, Microsoft, Panda, PC Tools, SOFTWIN, Symantec, Trend Micro and more. If it detects any leftovers on your PC, then point, click, and the program will remove them forever, freeing up valuable system resources and preventing further conflicts with other security tools.
