    Angry Cannot delete a program from my program files.

    I downloaded and installed FortiClient Security Suite- FREE and then tried to remove it. I got it out of add remove but it won't let me take it out of my program files. I have tired the following: system restore, delete Doctor, Unlocker. Using Command Prompt and Task Manager as directed by a google search. I did take it out of Task Manager processess by clicking on process tree..this created a critical error message that has given me numerous ways of treating this error..none of them have worked for me. When I shut down this critical error message fills my screen every time. Can anyone please help me.

    Did you try using Revo Uninstaller?
    pacman -Syyu life not found in sync db

    what exactly is the error it shows ?

    Try booting into safe mode and delete it.
    If nothing else works, open command prompt and type 'del C:\Windows'

    Attempting to manually remove the leftovers could well cause major stability issues or even render the system unusable since this type of software is designed to be tightly integrated into the Windows kernel.

    It appears that the program's own uninstaller has only partially removed it.My suggestion would be to firstly re-install the product if possible (or perhaps repair if it won't allow this).Then you should run Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it again.



    If Revo doesn't remove it fully then you'll need to contact the developers as there may be a removal tool or other assistance available.

    I also experienced that, I installed Avirt Soho and even I uninstalled Avirt Soho, avirt soho is still on my Services. I am using anvir for viewing and monitoring processess. Later, i find out that after using revo uninstaller, some leftover not totally deleted or removed.

    Even after using a program like Revo Uninstaller to remove a program, there are usually left overs, especially in the registry. I have learned the best way to insure that any unwanted program can be completely uninstalled, is to either create a system restore point, or use a disk imaging software, like Easeus Todo, "before" you install it. That way your pc can be restored to it's original configuration.

    I agree with bonishah...you've tried a lot of ways but you didn't mention Safe Mode....if you haven't you should try that

    if it was a problem with uninstallation and file(s) are still registred in system you need something like windows installer cleanup to unregister it and than manually delete files... not even safe mode helps you - i'm talking of a failed uninstall of a pirated adobe acrobat i had to solve some time ago... revo hunter mode failed of course...
