Question: How can I switch from a-squared Anti-Malware to a-squared Free?

Answer:

a-squared Version 2.0:

It is no longer possible to downgrade from the Anti-Malware version to the Free version. Please uninstall the Anti-Malware and download the Free version.


a-squared Version 1.6.5:

1. Shutdown the background guard and all other program parts of a-squared.

2. Open the installation folder of a-squared (by default C:\Program Files\a2) and delete the following files:

a2guard.exe
a2handler.dll
a2sys.exe
a2cfg.exe

3. Start a-squared and run an online update.

If you start the a-squared Startcenter then, you will see that the version mode switched to Free and the license end has changed.
