Hello, this is my first post, hope I ve not broken any rules here. I was told to come to this forum to find advice on how I should thoroughly remove CA etrust Anti virus from my computer. I intend to move over to Kapersky or one of the other more useful programs.
Any help/advice should be as simple as possible please :-0
Thanks,
Allen
If it doesn t remove correctly with add/remove you might try this. But do so at your own risk. Just use caution and double check before deleting anything.
1. Start- Run- and type in: unvet32.exe
Pay attention to what the uninstaller displays, if it can t remove
something you ll have to delete it manually.
2. Depending upon how badly the uninstaller failed after you ve ran it
you may need to manually delete the following:
C: Windows AVShlExt.dll
C: Windows System32 ISafeIf.dll
C: Windows System32 iSafProd.dll
C: Windows System32 VetRedir.dll
C: Windows System32 Drivers VetEBoot.sys
C: Windows System32 Drivers VetEFile.sys
C: Windows System32 Drivers VetFDDNT.sys
C: Windows System32 Drivers Vet-Filt.sys
C: Windows System32 Drivers VetMonNT.sys
C: Windows System32 Drivers Vet-Rec.sys
C: Program Files CA eTrust EZ Armor eTrust EZ Antivirus
The EZAV start menu program group located in Start- All Programs
In the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE ComputerAssociates Ant i-Virus
If EZAV is the only eTrust software you ve ever installed it should be
safe to remove in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE ComputerAssociates
If you had to manually remove any files run UnVet32.exe again to see
what it displays. If it displays a successful message it will delete
itself, thus a complete uninstall.
Thank you for your very clear advice. I am very new to this sort of practice and somewhat reluctant to start manually removing stuff.
However, i can see that you really do know what you are talking about, and I m going to give it a good try once this current AV version runs out.
Once again, thank you very much for your time advice.

This is the only complete description of how to revmove CA antivrus that I have found. I did it.had to go to safe mode to remove some of the VETstuff, but EUREKA. It worked. Many thanks.
On PC 1 I have a file that I could not get rid of from long ago it is the one that shows Sammysafe or what ever the hell that thing was and it makes MS security center show two AVs going with at least one up to date. No real harm.
I may take a look at these items and give it another try. Thanks BigC
