Remove Comodo Antivirus with WindowsUninstaller.Org Removal Tips
At one particular point or another, this happens to every computer user on this planet: You install
Comodo Antivirus, find out that you don't like it, or need that, or that its plain useless to the task
you wanted to use it for and you wish to uninstall Comodo Antivirus. So you open up the
Windows Add/Remove tool, click the button to uninstall Comodo Antivirus... and find out that
you cannot uninstall this system. In this article I will endeavour to explain how to pressure
uninstall Comodo Antivirus, that you cannot uninstall while using the Windows Add/Remove tool.
Ahead of that, however, I will make an effort to explain what happens during installation.
What you want to know to uninstall a programmanually
There are several things that happen during the installation of a program.
Initial, of course, is the copying of files towards the specified program folder (which is usually
somewhere inside the Program Documents folder). Also some files such since shared libraries (.
dll files) can be copied right folder inside Program Files called Common Files and a few files such
as drivers or shared libraries (again) are copied into the ' WINDOWSSystem32' and '
WINDOWSSystem32drivers' files.
After that the installer makes some changes inside the windows registry. The windows registry is
really a unified place where all the actual settings for programs and intended for windows itself
are stored. The installer can make changes inside the registry for a number of reasons. For
example if a shared library must be registered. Or if certain types of files should be associated
with the program becoming installed, so that the person could open them (e. gary the gadget guy.
if you install Microsoft Term, then you will be capable to open Microsoft Word documents). Next
is done, a key is added towards the windows registry in a place in which the Windows
Add/Remove tool looks intended for installed programs. During the installation all these
operations are logged inside a special file (e. g. build. log), and the installation program usually
puts that file inside the application's folder and also the uninstaller. When a user tries to get rid
of Comodo Antivirus through the Add/Remove tool, windows looks for the registered uninstaller
inside the registry, and executes it. The uninstaller goes through the actual log file and undoes
the many changes done during installation. That may be, it deletes all the files which are copied,
all the registry important factors the installer created etc.
However, if there is no wood file, or if there is no record of the changes built to the registry the
uninstaller might forget to uninstall Comodo Antivirus, and it will stay there untill it's removed by
other means.
And so if Comodo Antivirus won't uninstall, how can you perform a force uninstall?
Well, if you know how to work with the windows registry, you probably can execute a manual
force uninstall.
Before I go into detail about how to do this manually, I'd like to say this is pretty advanced stuff,
and if you're not an electrical user, then perhaps you should consider using specialized software
including the uninstall tool which allows you to do this in just a few ticks.
If you can be a power user, then let's go on. First, let's see how to get rid of the program from the
report on installed programs. To do that it is advisable to open the registry browser:
Click Start and choose Run from the menu (If you're using Windows Vista then press Win+R on
your keyboard).
Type regedit in addition to hit Enter.
On the left side will be the registry settings tree, use it to visit to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall
Inside that key you'll find a great deal of keys that belong to distinct programs. Some are named
as soon as the program's name, others as combining numbers and letters that creates no sense.
Look through each of them until you find one that has the key DisplayName (on the right) along
with your program's name in it.
Notice the important thing UninstallString - this specific key points towards the uninstall plan,
and also the wood report usually exists from the very same folder since which plan.
If a person remove the important thing by which you've found the actual DisplayName critical
while using value corresponding to the program's title, after that your plan is not going to look for
the Add/Remove packages number.
Some packages create brand new synonyms from the registry for you to store their particular
setup alternatives, most of these synonyms could usually always be obtained in the actual
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware or throughout HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE - look for this
system title or the actual title on the firm which built the application. Do not remove 'microsoft'
though - which contains Windows settings at the same time.
