Does it make you question about the software you installing in the FIRST place? If your C:/ drive is partitioned for Programs only (ie. no Personal folder), then creating a system image to an external medium would be ideal to revert back to.
Even with Total Uninstall, your PC is infected, what then? A backup system image would be ideal an other option to malware removal. Total Uninstall will not undo the changes of ransomware.
Excellent remark and wise also. Thanks Huracan, you`re perfectly right but in my case I installed a legitimate bought software called Usb Block to password protect my usb drives from unauthorized access. Then, I decided to uninstall it and use another program called Stop Usb by Everstrike, one of my favorite security company. Being a security product the only way to uninstall it is through its own password protected uninstaller but it leaves traces on your PC so my Revo and Uninstall Tool and others (Reg Organiser uninstall feature, Your Uninstaller) simply cannot find it in my PC, even with the hunter mode enabled could not be uninstalled and then, guess what, my romanian soft
Total Uninstall (
gj Gavrila Martau) did it and removed it completely, services, dll, registry, files, everything and that`s why I decided suddenly that I must have it.
One can always perform backups and restore system but it is simplier (huh! but not safer)
with uninstallers. With good quality ones. I took into consideration the advice to be very careful when monitoring new installations. Excellent community here, very skilled and helpful. I simply love MalwareTips as it creates addiction for me with my daily/hourly visit.
Thank you all,
Hugs,
