    Making sure I don't give myself a virus (trying to uninstall an application)


    I've been having some weird gaming-related bugs, and the solution I'm working with right now is to reinstall steam and, for good measure, geforce experience because it seems to have broken itself around the same time as my other problems (although, to be fair, I haven't opened the application itself in a while). After some searching, I found that one the ways to do this was to go to "Apps and Features", find "GeForce experience" click it and hit uninstall. To my surprise, when I did this I got a popup that said "allow Windows Host process (rundll32) to make changes to your device". Again, looking through google, I found that this is a file on my computer by default but also a common fake name used by viruses. Is there a way I can be certain that I'm not breaking anything? Or is there an easier way to do this entire process? I'm a little out of my league here, so any help would be much appreciated.

    :)

    How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused Making sure I don't give myself a virus (trying to uninstall an application) :confused:
