Uninstaller ??

13 years ago

Is there an uninstaller that will clean out a software in all the areas of my machine... there are times that when I use the Vista 64 uninstall that it seems that it doesn't get all the pieces.

Example ...about 6 months ago I tried a demo of a software and at the time I didn't care for it so it expired. Now I see they made improvements to it and when I tried to download the demo it tells me " MY 30 DAYS HAS EXPIRED" I think that my PC still has a fragment of that demo from the last time.

Any ideas on what I could use that is fairly safe? thanks.

Tell us what software specifically you want cleaned out.

Please provide the name of the Demo Software you installed and tried.

Please avoid registry cleaners too.

Malwarebytes is supposed to not like it. Probably will remove it from starting. Do a Full Scan ? Quick websearch says it does plugins in browsers so look at those and disable it or remove if and when you find it. Look for the uninstaller C:\Program Files\Wajam\uninstall.exe or (x86) !!!! Looks like Wajam has an uninstaller you can download... look on the margin of the FAQ page, its even a tricky website ... the download for the uninstaller.. http://www.wajam.com/download/wajam_uninstall.exe Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.wajam.com/ faq This post was edited by mikie on Sat, Aug 9, 14 at 16:56

Many problems after Win10 uninstall

I give up. I'm going to wheedle the money to take this machine to a repair shop. I fail to understand that if you think the user is the problem, PEBCAK, that you would bother to respond. There are too many problems for me to resolve from the Win10 uninstall. The uninstall was recommended by Microsoft Tech Support after he failed to help me fix Mail, Calendar, Cortana, People apps during a 2 1/2 Hour phone call. Since last Sept. I've been trying to get this machine to work as it should. I've spent many hours on MS site, looking for articles on other sites that address our problems. My husband and I have spent many hours searching and trying to resolve these problems. 5 months. The last thing we need is snarky comments, snotty opinions and in general, erroneous assumptions. This was always a place for us to come to ask for help. It's not any longer, and the pointless crap is a waste of time when we have spent so much of it trying to fix this ourselves. Many thanks to those of you who asked specific questions and gave good advice and shared your knowledge. You are truly a God send to those of us who need help.

Microsoft sort of tricks you into making your login the email account and then you need to login to your windows with that email account password. It really makes like simple for the majority of people ways. You can add a 4 digit PIN to your computers account then login to the computer with that PIN instead of the password. Sometimes you will need that password,, but its not often. To make a PIN type into the Cortana search bar 'set PIN' pretty simple. If you truly don't want any kind of password go to : Settings / Accounts .. and under your account name you should see... 'Sign in with local account' go there and will prompt for your password to prove who you are, and then you can make a name for your account with out the email, but don't put in a password for that name. Keep in mind when you don't have any password to login to your computer, anybody can come and probably access your email and maybe even banking & go shopping most anywhere you had your login and password saved. So if the grandkid sees a fancy toy and buys it... you find a FedEx delivery at your door.

Usually recommend Revo unistaller. Caution should be taken when used.

Zep, what do you mean, specifically, by 'Caution should be taken when used.' regarding Revo uninstaller. Can problems be caused by its use?

Well it does access the registry and asks to delete keys, but I think that is only in Hunter Mode . That's why I gave the caution sign. Others may have a more detailed description of its use though.

I use revo all the time on other peoples computers as well as mine. With the advanced mode ticked almost always unless its one of the program having common ties to other programs like maybe an adobe reader unistall would with other adobe products.

Only maybe twice in gosh.. maybe over 100 uses it caused a problem. That kind of problem mostly would be registry and easily fixed it you have a recent restore point to use.

Hunter mode is for items that don't have an uninstaller .. I've only had to use the Hunter mode on the magic little virus's that are in doc/ user download folders and some magic little unknown icon in the system tray by clock.

But even in the advanced mode you're likely to find left overs in doc/user/applications and maybe in the /program files/ folder. And also in the registry hklm hku software tree.

Gotta admint,,, I dont worry much about problems. Most every problem has a fix.
