    Publisher, title and version number of the anti virus software?

    Which operating system (include version and service pack if applicable)?

    Are you attempting to remove the anti-virus while logged in on an administrative user account?

    How much space is available on your hard drive? If it's a small amount can your system utilize a drive with higher capacity? Do you have installation media to reinstall the operating system on a new drive?

    As you didn't mention which anti-virus program you are trying to remove, try starting Windows in Safe Mode, then remove the program from there using the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.

    Try to delete all the junk files and temp files (temp, %temp%, prefetch).
    Try to uninstall the software again and follow these steps for norton anti virus as same for any other anti virus.
