December 14, 2009 – San Francisco, Calif. — OPSWAT, Inc., a leading
software development toolkit vendor, today announced that it has
delivered one of its offerings to Continental Airlines. As part of this
deal Continental has licensed the AppRemover uninstallation SDK to
facilitate a replacement of their antivirus solutions. AppRemover will
be configured to remove legacy solutions to ensure a clean installation

AppRemover has now seen successful
deployments to a number of organizations including the University of
Dayton and Catawba College. In addition, the product was licensed by
antivirus vendor AVG Technologies to distribute as an important support

AppRemover Uninstaller
AppRemover is a software utility
and SDK that enables the complete, silent uninstallation of security
applications (from vendors like Symantec, McAfee and dozens of others)
from any computer. This lightweight utility is a community-based tool
that has been developed by OPSWAT Labs and shaped based on the feedback
that OPSWAT receives from users. It offers myriad benefits to
developers.
AppRemover has 3 available interfaces:
· A free, non-commercial application available at www.appremover.com
· A commercially brandable, feature-rich GUI similar to OPSWAT's free version
·
A software development kit (SDK) that is aimed at helping IT managers
and software engineers develop their own solutions. The SDK can be
purchased as a command line interface (CLI), C++ or COM application
programming interfaces (API)
When Should AppRemover be Used?
· When replacing one security application with another
· When a previous uninstallation has failed
· When you have forgotten or cannot access the application password
More information, including a brochure, is available at the
product’s homepage. New releases are always announced at the
AppRemover blog. Informational videos appear on the
OPSWAT media page.
