  1. removing left over Vipre files


    I had Vipre Internet Security on my laptop for 3 years. I decided when the subscription ran out that I wasn't going to use it anymore, and so I went to my control panel and uninstalled it from my laptop. After the uninstall, Vipre kept (and still does) sending me messages about assorted things it was doing, for example, a window pops up and says it has detected a new network and did I want to use it, (or something to that effect), I would x it out and it would pop up again, and again. It keeps telling me I need to update the virus definitions, and other little things here and there. I thought I uninstalled it? But apparently I have not gotten rid of it. Now I want to install a new anti virus program, that I am hoping will do the job I need done, but it won't install because it keeps telling me I need to uninstall Vipre first. I no longer have Vipre in my "Add/Remove" section in my Control Panel. I have found a large Vipre file in my OS C: drive system files, but when I try to delete it I get the dreaded message "This action can't be completed because the folder or file is open in another program". I went to "Regedit" and start removing Vipre bit by bit, but OMG I did it for 30 minutes and still have not gotten all of the Vipre files out of my registry, I am tired of this and I am hoping there is a "tool" out there that will do the removal for me instead of having to do it manually. Any suggestions? All advise will be taken into consideration.

    Thank you in advance for your help, and I hope I know how to get back to my message to see if there are any replies. LOL

    P.S.

    Please talk in "blonde friendly" language. And hopefully any recommended tool will be blond friendly tool.

  2. vipre security system

    The correct way to remove most Anti-virus programs is from within its program group Uninstall shortcut in

    Start Menu > All Programs
    or by using
    Apps & features in Windows 10
    or
    Programs and Features
    (Add/Remove Programs) in Control Panel
    as explained here. If it's not listed there, the next step would be to open Window's
    Explorer, manually navigate to the program's folder itself, look for an uninstaller file (i.e. uninstall.exe) and double-click on it to run. In other cases you may have to
    launch the antivirus setup (installation) file and
    in the menu there may be options listed to Reinstall, Repair, or
    Remove (uninstall). Be sure to reboot the computer when done.

    Sometimes the uninstall works more effectively if you first stop and disable the
    program's service
    (and associated processes in Task Manager) or perform the removal in

    safe mode
    so there are less processes which can interfere with the uninstallation.
