How to Completely Uninstall Panda Antivirus Pro 2015?

As you may know, the uninstall process could be different depending on your PC’s operating system. But they are not that different to recite, and all you need is to do it right.

It happens a lot that you think you have finished the whole removal, but rebooted your PC only to find out it still appeared on the system tray. No exception every time. So what’s the problem exactly?

If you directly drag its folder to Recycle Bin and empty it just because you can’t find an uninstall option in Start menu, problems will occur, for example: you’re not able to re-install or uninstall it again due to missing files, errors messages pop up right after Windows loads, system crashes if you double-click the program’s icon on the desktop, or you can’t free up the hard drive space it’s taking for other purpose.

Well, no matter what your case is, to successfully uninstall Panda Antivirus Pro 2015, please read the following tutorials, and you may get the answer.
