Windows 10: Spyhunter

I cannot uninstall this. I have tried all the suggestions I have seen - normal Microsoft uninstall, Revo, Geek. Spyhunter support site is only for paid versions, and I have a free version. I've seen from a web search that hundreds of people have this problem. The microsoft help uninstall tool needs a 38 digit product code, and I'm unable to find one for Spyhunter. Any assistance from someone who has managed to uninstall it would be gratefully received, thanks.
