Avira non-antivirus applications
Avira is a nice antivirus but last years its bundle comes with "helper" programs that most people hate:
- Avira Phantom VPN,
- Avira Game Booster,
- Avira System Speedup,
- Avira Optimizer Host
- etc
Avira knows users want to remove them, to stop them, to disable them. But Avira tries its best to keep them there in many ways:
- "helpful" programs have never asked the customer whether to be installed or not
- no options in GUI to disable them
- no options in GUI to uninstall them
- no options from Windows standard uninstall components functionality ("Add or remove programs" -> Rightclick -> Modify)
The solution
So there is a way to gently remove them:
- Navigate to Avira folder. E.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira
- Go to each of "helper" programs folders and start uninstaller. It could have different names:
- uninstall.exe
- uninst000.exe
- etc
- Enjoy :)
