    ok, sorry if I did not make this clear the first time.

    I previously installed it on my windows 7 pro 32 bit computer. Then, I wanted to remove it.

    I used Programs and Features and tried to remove it, but the uninstallation would not complete.

    Is there some type of removal tool similar to like Norton Removal Tool?

    ----
    Thanks

    To my knowledge no.

    You can try to install it again & then uninstall it. Hasn't given me any problem on computer that I installed ClamAV on.

    To uninstall it manually do the following:

    Folders to delete manually (presuming you installed for all users):

    c:\program files\clamwin
    c:\documents and settings\<your username>\Application Data\.clamwin
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\.clamwin

    Then locate and delete "ClamWin" entry from this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    and delete the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clamwin
