  Hello korgri,

  It seems that you still have a problem with remmants of the virus that you had deleted. I'll try again with other anti-virus or scanning software to see if there is still a problem.
  You must disable AVG before using a 2nd antivirus. You can download Microsoft Security Essentials. Clickhere for a link to the Microsoft Antivirus.

  I also suggest an Inplace upgrade which will help you to repair your operating system. You will need a CD/DVD of the XP operating system.
  Click on the KB article number below to view the instructions for an Inplace upgrade.

  After the upgrade on the spot, your personal data and installed programs will not be deleted, but we will have to run Windows Update to install all the updates that are available for your system to update these files system to the current version. This troubleshooting process is very long and can last several hours.

  ID of the KB Article: 978788 - how to perform an upgrade on the spot (reinstallation) of Windows XP

  I hope this helps.

• How to uninstall a program in Add/Remove programs which does not list the option "Change/Remove.

  > In my Add/Remove Programs list, there are several HP programs listed and I started to remove them (has done this in the past with no problems).

  None of this has worked.

  Does anyone know how I can remove this program that has no program folder, no registry keys, but still works? I can still print from this computer, but cannot access the HP Director (a function to scan, print, clean & align print head, etc.), which is what started this process of trying to uninstall/reinstall the program.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  My system is;

  Dell Dimension 4550

  Windows XP Pro w/SP-3 (version 2002)

  Of photo TakerYN...

  This message can be considered "solved!" I was finally able to remove the program with the HP disk. I tried to reinstall (overwrite) the program, but I received a message that the installer has detected that the program is already installed. I wanted to try it manually, so I 'opened' the disc, you click on "setup" and received the same message. At this point, I was ready to try anything and noticed the "Launcher" icon and thought, what the heck, can't hurt to try at this stage, so I clicked it. I wasn't expecting the screen, I had, who said that it would be to uninstall the program. I thought it was too good to be true and easy way (after all), but after that it's over, I checked my Add/Remove programs and my 'problem' program was gone.

  Thought I would post this so anyone who might encounter the same problem can try this.

• Add/Remove Programs does not work with some programs in XP

  Why add and remove program does NOT work on some programs. These are programs on a computer that was created using a process of the image. Like ghost?

  If you have a third party app that will not uninstall, I think I might check the support page for this application and see what they have to say about it.

  Some AV products have obtained quite complicated that add/remove programs is not the recommended way to remove them, so some companies have developed their own removal procedures and some have special programs to manage their affairs.

  Norton/Symantec has a special page for you:

• Install software (games, etc.) doesn't show is not in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. Vista Home Basic, 32-bit.

  Vista Home Basic, 32-bit. Install software (games, etc.) does not not in Control Panel Add/Remove programs or CCleaner RevoUninstaller. They use all to. I don't know what has changed. Nothing new has been installed. How can I remove the software I want to uninstall? Thanks for your help.

  Hi il898,

  This can also occur if the installation files are broken or missing for the program which may be reason for the program does not appear in uninstall a program from the list.

  I suggest that you run the program to install the program again and check if you get an option to uninstall the program and try to uninstall the program.
  If it still does not uninstall the program, and then try to reinstall the program and uninstall afterwards.

  I hope this helps!
