    All my files were deleted after uninstalling a program


    So I had this program called BleachBit and I uninstalled it using an uninstaller called IObit Uninstaller. After I uninstalled the program, everything else from my system was also deleted. The wallpaper on my desktop turned black as if the wallpaper was deleted, the files on my PC are gone, and the File Explorer is gone. It's like I can't access my C drive anymore. I need help.

    :)

    Solution



    Warning: These removal steps can disable other Symantec products that are installed on the computer. It is recommended that all Symantec products be uninstalled by using Add or Remove Programs before starting this process.



    Log on as Administrator
    Manual removal of Symantec Endpoint Protection must be done from the Administrator account. To enable the Administrator account, read the following document from the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Enable and Disable the Built-in Administrator Account.

    When the Administrator account is enabled, log on to that account.

    Stop Symantec Endpoint Protection

    Click Start > Run.
    Type msconfig
    Click OK.
    On the Startup tab, uncheck Symantec Security Technologies.
    In the Services tab, uncheck the following (not all may be present):
    Symantec Event Manager
    Symantec Settings Manager
    LiveUpdate
    Symantec Management Client
    Symantec Network Access Control
    Symantec Endpoint Protection
    Click OK, and then restart the computer.

    Remove the Teefer2 driver

    Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections.
    Click a connection.
    In the dialog, click Properties.
    Select Teefer2 Driver and click Uninstall.
    You will need to repeat these steps for each Network Connection.
    Restart the computer.

    C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection (Or the appropriate directory if you installed in a different one)
    C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate (Or the appropriate directory if you installed in a different one)
    C:\Program Files\Symantec\ (Or the appropriate directory if you installed in a different one)
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared
    C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Symantec Endpoint Protection
    C:\ProgramData\Symantec
    Delete the following driver files in C:\Windows\System32\drivers. In all cases delete the files with the extensions .sys, .cat, and .inf with the following prefixes:
    Coh_Mon
    SrtSp
    SrtSp64

    SrtSpl64

    SymFw
    SymIds
    SymNdis
    SymNdisv
    SymRedir
    SymRedrv
    SymTdi
    SysPlant
    Teefer2
    Wgx
    WpsDrvnt
    WpsHelper
    Delete the following driver files in both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64:
    BugslayerUtil.dll
    Cba.dll
    FwsVpn.dll
    Loc32Vc0.dll
    MsgSys.dll
    Nts.dll
    Pds.dll
    SysFer.dll
    SymVPN.dll
    Go to C:\Windows\Installer\.
    For each file in C:\Windows\Installer, right-click the file and select Properties.
    On the Summary tab, check to see whether the file was created by Symantec. If it was, delete the file.
    Repeat steps 6-9 for every file in the folder.


    Remove the Teefer driver

    Click Start > Search, type cmd, and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to start a command prompt with Administrator privileges.
    Type pnputil -e to list the Symantec drivers in the driver store.
    Type pnputil -f -d oem<n>.inf to remove Symantec drivers from driver store, where <n> is a number corresponding to one of the Symantec drivers listed in the previous step.
    Type exit to close the command prompt.
    In the Windows registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}.
    Delete any keys that have a value of ComponentId that is set to symc_teefer2mp.
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{ad498944-762f-11d0-8dcb-00c04fc3358c}.
    Delete any sub keys that have a name containing SYMC_TEEFER2MP.
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{cac88424-7515-4c03-82e6-71a87abac361}.
    Delete any sub keys that have a name containing SYMC_TEEFER2MP.
    Close the Windows Registry Editor.
    In the Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), go to Network Adapters, and delete all entries with "teefer" in them.
    Delete any network adapters to which teefer was attached.
    This causes the adapters to be reinstalled. This step must be done in order for there to be network connectivity after you restart the computer.
    Restart the computer into normal mode.
