I tried Few Firewalls on my Pc , I uninstalled one before installing another but i found out that even uninstalling a firewall , it will leave some files on my pc , is it safe to delete those files? so far , i've tried agnitum , lavasoft , kerio and yes....the folder is still in my program files with some files inside.

... Well, if you are desperate for some space... You can delete with ease. It has nothing but some logs and settings files. Take caution though. It will be safer if you create a restore point before doing anything risky.

If its not a shared file that is used by another program then its safe to delete

It is hard to determine that unless it is an Application Extension (*.dll) or Active X component (*.ocx). I rather play safe. LOL. Regards.

Since u have uninstalled the firewall, those files are no longer necessary. However, create a restore point before u remove them.

Like fru!tlo0p said, create a restore point. After that, deleting should not be a dangerous task. It is true that after uninstalling the file is no longer needed, but in certain cases, other programs might need it.(I don't know why, it is just like that , I guess)
