Best way to delete a program.

I want to change Virus protection. Which is the best way to uninstall an existing program. Use the control Add/Remove method or use the uninstall method in the programs? I would like to get rid of the most remnants as possible. Thanks.

    Uninstall using Add/Remove Programs ( it will use the uninstaller that came with the program ) then look thru the Program folder in the hard drive and delete any folders/files that were left over.

    As well, many AV programs have a "removal tool" which will remove most remnants after an uninstall. Go to the AV web site and search for removal tool (or simply Google for xxxxxxx removal tool).
