How to manually remove a program

Hello

I got a program installed, but when pressing remove in Add/Remove Programs, it asked me to locate the uninstall.exe on some discs, I've ever had. I want to remove, so I deleted the program files, and that more som reg keys, for example the program in Add/Remove programs.

However, when I Desktop-> right click-> New, type the program file is still in the list. Is this some regkey that I missed? If so, do you recommend some reg cleaner, intended for maintenance manually. Or is it possible to perform searches in the keys using windows itself?

With the exception of reg keys and program files, the uninstall.exe manages some of the tips that I know?

Have a look here for instructions on how to remove the unwanted entry. Do not use a registry cleaner. It will not solve the problem, and it could cause serious damage.

    Hi Sweetpence51,

    1. are you able to uninstall properly the other programs on the computer?

    2. you use Windows vista or Windows XP operating system?

    Method 1

    First of all, make sure that you have followed the right instructions to remove the program from the computer.

    If the program does not uninstall completely the first time, sometimes running the uninstall program a second time will succeed.

  • How can I remove a program is located in administrative tools: Services? I uninstalled the program, but it still appears in 'Services '.

    In order to install a new version of the Anti trend anti-virus software, I have to make sure that another program is completely uninstalled.  The trend stops when if is the program still in 'services.  How can I remove it?

    Out of curiosity, what would the other program that does not properly uninstall?

    If it were other software AV (McAfee, Norton, Symantec, NOD32, Avira, Avast, etc.), many of them require their own special to make them correctly and completely uninstalled uninstall tool/program.  If you do not uninstall program, you will end up with pieces of the old program left on your system.  Just by using Add/Remove programs no longer cuts on some of these things.  These uninstaller programs are generally on the Support page for the AV program, you need to uninstall.

    In any case (what 3.5%?), here's a good guide that explains how to remove a Service from your system.
