Program Removal help

12 years ago

I used to have a scanner that used a program called paper port SE. well I got rid of the scanner and tried uninstalling the program through add and remove programs and it went through the process but the program still shows in the installed programs list,

is there a way of removing this ?

I have used little registry cleaner and crap cleaner as well.

What version of windows ? Assuming XP as you said Add/Remove

Here is a link that might be useful: manually remove programs from the Add or Remove

Revo is wonderful idea. It will generally remove most orphaned files and registry entries after running the target application's uninstaller. Use it on the advanced mode. When offered to select detected items do so. After completing you can run CCleaner's utility tool as on a rare occasion it will detect something REVO missed.

Right loosing administrative rights to those (2) areas indicates a virus may still be present, even though the pop ups are gone this is common with certain virus what it does is changes the windows registry an places restrictions on these 2 items. Your best bet as suggested is to go to a spyware forum & post a hijack this log, in that log you will more then likely see the 2 (06) entries that confirm the restrictions---no need to reinstall the operating system for this.

First create a Restore point. Then if you need to roll back you will lose nothing from any other work that has been done on your computer. Many programs leave all kinds of things behind when removed. Could be lazy or incompetent programmers, some files could be deliberate to check year over year. This is where programs like Ccleaner shine, their job is to locate these orphan files. Personally I would remove all but the 2 below - if I bothered at all. 3 No reference to Intuit as I can see. 16 Caution. While it may well be Intuit it appears likely an HP printer file. Possibly for Intuit but can you be certain? There will likely be no adverse effect from the things left behind, they are much like that old coat or shoes left in the closet.

I would try to do a Restore. If that doesn't work, does your PC have a built-in Recovery function? Or, do you have Windows CDs? You'll know for next time to never delete anything in the Programs folder. And, the date shown in the default view is the date modified (saved), not date last accessed. Assume that all main operating system files and utilities will have dates that are earlier than the date you bought the computer. Never touch 'em.

I downloaded the above software, it looked on the computer for everything that has to do with music match. The uninstaller comes up with 100's of items and says to look over the list carefully and only the ones I check will be uninstalled. 99% of these items are just numbers very long numbers. I do not know what needs to be check and do not want to uninstall something that another program is using. Can you enlighten me on the working of this uninstaller. Thanks for your help
