Re: Installing Antivirus software then uninstalling it after the full scan will slow down the computer?

The problem is almost all the above programs do not uninstall cleaning, leaving registry entries, mru's, and files on the HD.

Best to do a system snapshot before the install, then restore when you are all done. Or at a minimum use one of the registry/system checkpoint software packages that lets you roll back your system to X in time.

Or alternately. Install a VM of the same OS you are running, create a share on your Host PC that your Guest VM can read. Then install all the AV software on the VM and scan your HOST pc. This will catch everything that's on the disk, but not in memory.
