One user left us a message saying he had difficutly in uninstalling ESET Smart Security. He couldn’t uninstall ESET Smart Security thru Control Panel but he was told ESET Smart Security was still in his computer when he was trying to install a new protection. Finally we helped him completely uninstall ESET Smart Security and now here is the full steps. If you can’t uninstall ESET NOD32 AntiVirus, we also set up a tutorial.

Generally, users can go to Control Panel Add/ Remove Programs to uninstall “ESET Smart Security”. But you should remember to close all its processes and make sure the uninstallation processes smoothly. Some people can’t find ESET Smart Security in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs list. Some people still find it in their computer. After uninstalling from Control Panel, do go check whether it’s completely uninstalled or not. ESET Smart Security has one folder, C:\Program Files\ESET. If you find it, that means you haven’t fully removed ESET Smart Security. As known, Add/ Remove Programs can’t uninstall half-uninstalled or corrupted programs, so here we recommend you uninstall your ESET Smart Security with a professional uninstaller named Perfect Uninstaller.
