Hello,

I installed Cool File Viewer thinking it was free. Now I can no longer open my Word documents. When I open a document, Cool File Viewer appears and forces me to buy their program. I go to uninstall it in Programs, but I don't see that name, so I'm afraid to uninstall other important software. What should I do? Thank you.

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 86.0.4240.75

Hi,

Check with Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it.

Then for Word documents, you can install either

Microsoft Office Starter 2010 EN (Free)
https://www.pcastuces.com/logitheque/office_starter_2010.htm

Libre Office (Free)
https://fr.libreoffice.org/download/telecharger-libreoffice/

Open Office (Free)
http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/

Or even Ashampoo Office Free
https://www.ashampoo.com/fr/eur/pin/0738/produits-office/office-free

One doesn't stop you from using the other.

Good evening.

Apparently, you did not consult our CCM sheet https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/9755-file-viewer/
and the comments that follow the description!
