[QUOTE="dabluez98, post: 961488, member: 75357"] Hi, a very nice program, here is my general feedback 1) Ensure you have a S[B]YSTEM RESTORE point[/B] before using it and have a [B]BACKUP[/B] in case system restore fails, because it messed my system up a bit I believe, and a restore fixed things while I had removed most of the AVs. 2) It seems even the uninstall tool of AVs which this tool comes with dont remove all the traces, as developer has also mentioned [B]Here is a question, if anyone can help out: [/B] I have removed traces of all AVs now. But I am stuck with a few traces of F-secure (I was able to delete most) and I want to sure if it is safe/even worth it to try. The problem is that F-secure has left crap in two sensitive location C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\F-Secure C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\F-Secure Problem 1 --> Even with my local admin account I don't seem to be able to access the Administrator folder ([B]C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\F-Secure[/B]). Let me be clear, I can access my own local admin account and was able to delete the crap F-secure left, but not the invisible hidden Administrator account that comes with windows... Problem 2 --> I also also denied from accessing the other location I pasted above -->[B] C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\F-Secure[/B] How can I delete these and how safe is it really? 100% safe? To be clear I dont have f-secure installer and had it installed last about two years ago... [B]EDIT: Problem Solved. --> [/B][U]Had to browse directory by directory from the local admin account - for some reason putting the whole path in explorer would give me permission denied...[/U] [/QUOTE]
