Windows 10: How can i delete Avira security properly?

I recently uninstalled it through storage settings but im unsure if it left any files behind and ive seen a lot of accounts of Avira messing up computers after uninstalling.

Need to delete .dll files for nasty Avira program

Hi Cathy,

Just to clarify, are you attempting deleting the dll files of Avira or dll files of other programs? If you want to completely remove Avira from your computer, including the dll files, we suggest contacting Avira. They have the tools necessary to properly
delete their program on your computer.

If you have any queries, kindly reply to this thread.

 

Avira Antivirus

Windows cannot send updates due to Avira Antivirus (not Aviva) - they suggest uninstalling Avira but it is not listed and I am not aware that I ever downloaded it. Presume its some sort of malware - any suggestions please if anyone has had the same problem
- thank you

Disabling Avira

Muchomurka - your Windows Defender suggestion sounded promising to me. I found three AVIRA entries listed in Inbound Rules in Advanced Security, whose ENABLED status I could change to DISABLED. I can but hope that that does the job.

Incidentally it has alerted me to the possibility of disabling the numerous other entries that are irrelevant to me, but presumably consuming resources.
