What is an uninstall? Sometimes it's necessary
to take a piece of software off of your computer. It could be conflicting
with another piece of software, or you may have no need for it
anymore. The best way to get rid of conflicting or old software
is to use the uninstall function available on your computer. (See
instructions below.)
Why can't I just throw it in the recycle bin? If
you don't correctly uninstall a piece of software then parts of
it could stay on your computer and cause problems. Your computer
might run slower because it's still looking for the software that
isn't there, or you won't be able to run a new software application
correctly.
