Control Panel -> Program and features->Uninstall will do its job for most products. Some products might be buggy though and leave stuff behind.
If that happen :
i) Use product uninstallation tool if provided
ii) If product is completely uninstalled in the system end if
If not :
i)Go to Safe mode because at this stage something might be locking the process preventing deletion. Quite common for a security program like Antivirus. Use uninstallation tool by product again if provided or use the control panel if its still there.
ii)Use3rd party program such as CCleaner
iii) Perform search in computer and registry for software and company name
iii) Software completely uninstalled?
If not
i) Contact support.
End if
there is2 possible ways :1- open start menu>>all programs>> (the antivirus)>>u may find (un-install)

For Windows users > Control Panel, Programs, double click on targeted appliation. Un-installation process will begin
You can also check program folder in All Programs list if it has provided Remove/Un-install option.
you can uninstall antivirus from uninstall launcher of the desired product, or from contro panel ( uninstall program)
also some antivirus has their own uninstall tolls as Norton and MCafee (
for example, for norton we have Norton removal tool, and for McAfee, it the MCPR tool.
Some other Antivirus as Gdata, Kaspersky and McAfee cannot be installed when another antivirus is pre-installed on machine, they launch automatically a removal tool to delete the Installed antivirus and then , after reboot, the installation program continue automatically.
go to Control panel then go to Add or Remove Programs then look for the antivirus name in this programs list and then click uninstall or you can go to the drive that you installed the windows in and then go to program files and check for the antivirus name or the company name that invented the antivirus and in there u will find a file called Uninstall.exe
