How to uninstall Avira Antivirus when it is not displayed in Control Panel programs installed?

I am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.  Compatibility report indicates that I need to uninstall a program "Avira AntiVir" that is not visible on the list.  I uninstalled this program ages ago... I thought.

What should I do?

Hello EileenBayda,

Looks like you have still some remains of the Avira program still on the computer. I recommend to use the Avira AntiVir Removal Tool for http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-removal-tool.

Thank you
Darin

    How can I get Snipping tools im using Vista and this control panel and then enable or disable the thing pc isn't here. Help?

    Hello

    You don't say which edition of Vista you are using.

    Vista Home Basic Edition does not have the "snipping tool".

    If you have a different edition of Vista, read the information on how to find it:

    http://www.PCWorld.com/article/137099/activate_vistas_snipping_tool.html

    If you have one version of Vista, other than the Home Basic edition, you already have the Snipping Tool screenshot utility: click on Start, all programs, accessories, Snipping Tool. If you do not see here, it cannot be activated. Go to the Control Panel and open programs and features (you may need to click programs first). In the left pane, click Windows turn features on or off. If necessary, click continue when you are prompted by user account control. Scroll down the list of features, check the box next to Tablet PC optional components, and click OK. Marketing of these features gives you not only the Snipping Tool, but also input panel Tablet PC, Windows Journal and other features related to the stylus.

  • When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

    Original title: rundll.exe error

    I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

    When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

    Everything else seems to work fine on my computer, and I get no message on the rundll.exe file when the computer starts up first.

  • How to uninstall Photoshop CS6 when the 'Adobe Installers"does not appear in the applications/utilities /... (lack of Adobe Installers) » ?

    I recently had all our information from an old iMac that is transferred to a new iMac (transfer from the Mac store).  Now when I try to open Photoshop CS6 in the dock, get a response that says: error configuration and underneath "error: 16»   He also told to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.  The problem is that somewhere in the past, the Adobe installer has been removed, so am not able to continue the process - so am unable to uninstall.  Appreciate any help.  Have not had problems before.

    I don't own a Mac and never have, so I uninstalled little to offer by way of how to get something on one.  If the vacuum cleaner does not recognize that you have CS6 installed there are two things I could think that I would consider - 1) just try to reinstall CS6 2) just delete whatever it is, you can find from the CS6 and try to reinstall.  The second option is the least recommended from my point of view, I don't know what could be the impact, but I don't think trying the first would hurt a lot... it could just get setup in place and then offer you the option to uninstall.

IE8 and outlook says I am not using a proxy server and the proxy server setings are grayed out. How can I fix this problem.

    Hi shoe,.

    · What is the exact error message are received?

    · You have security software installed on your computer?

    · What is the service pack installed?

    Check for ISA Server or a Proxy Server that is installed:

    To determine if you have ISA Server or Microsoft Proxy Server installed on your computer:

    a. on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, click Start, point to settings and then click Control Panel.

    b. double-click Add or remove programs.

    c. list of programs currently installed for Microsoft Proxy Server or Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration.

    If one of these entries is present, ISA Server or Proxy Server is installed on your computer.
