  1. Uninstall PowerDVD 14 destroys Boot Information


    How I got rid of it was this way
    System
    File Explorer
    Then click on your C drive
    Scroll down to Programs
    and Programs x64
    You should find the folder in both of them
    Right click and delete both copies
    It may come up are you sure
    Click yes
    Once done you should do a restart
    Should all be clear from your system by then
    I had to do that to install DVD 16
    I use it all the time to play my movies

    Thank you everybody ,
    In the mean time I went to Registry and Deleted any single reference to PowerDVD.
    Deleted also all folders in HDD
    Seems that the Uninstall Program is gone, it does not show any longer under Programms and Features. Seems I am free of that.
    It took around 12h of work to get rid of some bad programmed software, behaving like a hardcore Virus.
    @hTconeM9user : That is not enough, there hidden files and folders under AppData/ProgramData and under Users/Local and Roaming.
    Anyway that is a "bad" way to uninstall Software, it should be only done in a "desperate" situation.
    @Cliff S: Thank you for the Link, I used might have contributed to get rid of it.
