Hello,

I want to uninstall PC Repair because it's a "pain" (I've already deleted the icon) but I don't know where to find it.... Could someone please help me... Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    Download Revo Uninstaller Free here

    https://www.revouninstaller.com/fr/revo-uninstaller-free-download/

    Use the advanced mode for more thorough cleaning

    Then I can recommend healthier methods of cleaning than PC Repair

    You can analyze and remove harmful programs and viruses with RegRun Reanimator

    https://greatis.com/security/reanimator.html

    > Fix Problems
    > Fix Malware Issues

    You need to look at the tabs at the top for the types of items viewed.

    Be careful, it is important to sort carefully through research and deductions and/or VirusTotal* analysis to only delete viruses or unnecessary items, because it detects everything and anything, good or bad, important or not, it is not an "antivirus", but rather an analysis tool that provides technical details on potentially active elements, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

    It shows details like file names and locations, which often serve as concrete clues.

    Whether marked in red, yellow, blue, or green, it is the user who must judge the relevance of what it detects.

    Check the items to delete and not the others and click on the red button, in all sections where there is something to delete, then go to Finish! and restart Windows to complete.

    If it doesn't detect enough you can use the Filter Set button or Inspection Mode to see everything.

    Or On-Line Multi-Antivirus Scan

    Or by closing the first Reanimator window with the X at the top right, and the Reanimator tab > Anti Spyware Full Check...

    -----------------------------------------------------­------------------------­-----------------------------------------------

    The VirusTotal Uploader program *Download the App here*

    https://support.virustotal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002179065-Desktop-Apps

    For (A file) > Right-click > Send to > Virustotal

    (Show hidden files if necessary in View > Options > View)

    To get the analysis results of the file by about sixty antivirus software, in addition to the Details tab to see if the file is signed and verified or not, etc.

    You can use the Reupload option to obtain a new analysis of the file in case of a recently analyzed file.

    -----------------------------------------------------­------------------------­-----------------------------------------------

    You can download Autoruns here, extract everything into a new folder, and run it as an administrator.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

    Take your time, look at all the details, do some research.

    In the "Logon" and "Scheduled Tasks" tabs, you can disable or remove unnecessary third-party items from the automatic startup that are not important Microsoft or Windows elements by unchecking them, or by right-clicking > Delete.

    Look at the "Services" tab, but do not disable them if they might be useful, it is better to set them to "Manual" mode (to start on demand) with Windows' services.msc, by right-clicking on the Start button > Run: services.msc

    Changes will take effect when you restart Windows.

    Hello,

    Thank you Fabul, the uninstallation went well. But I am 76 years old and have only a few "skills" in computing. I'm a "small player" but thanks again. I have CCleaner Pro as a "cleaning" tool. It works quite well and is especially easy to use. Thanks again for your help. I am grateful to you because PC Repair was quite intrusive ....LOL
