Windows 10: How do I remove an AV program, F-secure

I have a version of F-Secure on my toy that I need to remove. It's marketed by Frontier Corp. to go along with their DSL service, and called Frontier Secure. I am unable to find it so I can have one of my software uninstallers do the deed. It won't even show up in the windows installed software panel so I can do the delete. It's as if it is a ghost, and it's haunting me, saying I need to purchase a new licence or something like that. If I could just shut it down, I would. But, it just keeps nagging, and I am unable to do anything about it.

I did find a method of removal for Win7,8,8.1 but nothing works on Win10x64.

If anyone can help, I will love you forever, so, TIA

How do I uninstall F-Secure

Hello @tevaman,



Have you tried this? Go to;



Menu->Settings->Application manager->Installed apps->Long press

the "Mobile Security"->Uninstall.



(This is from N8, it should be equal in your phone, at leats you'll got the point).

See if these help:

F-Secure Uninstallation Tool Download

I didn't look too closely at the links, so there might be some duplication or overlap.

Read them and decide which one to follow - make a note of the version of the tool (the one from F-Secure should be the most current, but Frontier Secure might have different install criteria. You never can be sure that an older tool doesn't appear in search results).

 

Thank you. It's almost 4AM here, so I'm going to bed and will mess with it tomorrow eve.

Revo Uninstaller Pro [which works on 64-bit and 32-bit programs] is a last option to try -- if the manufacturer's uninstall tools do not work. Before you do all of this, make full images of your OS and data partitions onto trusted external media; Macrium Reflect free comes to mind, it really works. And, test your WinPE/MR usb boot stick and/or dvd boot.

Addendum: I amended my post above after reading Dropbox's following excellent comment!
I also shortened my backup comments.

 

Revo insn't a good idea to remove an AV. Best to use the uninstall tools posted above.

 

Dropbox, you are correct, I should mentioned to only use Revo Uninstaller Pro if everything else from the manufacturer fails. I amended my earlier post. Thanks!

Addendum: I have removed several security programs with Revo Uninstaller Pro without problems, however, if possible, use the manufacturer's uninstalls.

 

I found and used the F-Secure removal tool in the download from Bleeping Computer and it did a good job. I then installed Avast and MWB. Thanx to everyone.

 

Good to see that it's solved. *Smile
